Nürburgring battle - 911 vs SLS

[RSteve]

Amazing skill, proper intense at times.

It was the 5th race of the VLN series, which is widely regarded as the highest German racing class, despite the DTM circlejerk that's going on currently.
The season consists of about 10 4-hour-endurance races, with the season highlight being the 24h of the Nürburgring in late spring.
In this particular race from saturday, the SLS won with a gap of 0.3 seconds over the Manthey after 22 laps.
Racing the Manthey Porsche in the vid was in fact Marc Lieb, who won the 24 hours four times already.

Awesome machines.

Is it just me, or does the SLS just seem to be in the way of the 911?

 

[Heez]

it is but the SLS has it on the straights... just.

Jesus Christ that is so close for the whole video... Thought the 911 had pipped him on the straight for a moment there!!

Woah, intense! That's one of the best 'ring battles I've seen in a long time.

Damn SLS, blocked a number of times. Epic grip is epic.
