VW van at the Nurnberg video

Anyone have the video of the VW van tearing up the track. I saw it years ago and can't find it.
thanks, Ben

It was a Ford Transit actually. And it was on Top Gear.

Mark, that's not the one I remember but it is really cool. I thought the one I saw had a blue and white VW. Thanks for posting it .
Ian, just watching that Top gear; thats what got me thinking of the VW clip. It really is cool to watch the VW van passing everything in sight.

Did anyone notice that the wooden shift knob in the VW van looks like the ones that were made by a Pelican Parts member to be similar to the Carrera GT knob?

They ARE from a 911. "It's a 1962 VW bus with a 520hp Porsche 993 twin-turbo drivetrain under it."

That would explain it. Does anyone know the name of the driver in the first vid?
