Epic track battle 993gt2 and more!

Saw this on Jalopnik and thought it would be appreciated here It's pretty insane. Such a ridiculous group of cars won't spoil the ending but it's a close one.

Awesome. The guy in the F40 was balls out at the end, impressive considering the cost and rarity of that car. The F50 may have won, but I lust for the F40.

Looks like the F40 had boiled the brakes at the end.

It must be hard finding 8 professional racing drivers in Japan.

They sure as hell didn't for this video.

Wow... that F50 sure puts the power down coming out of the Spoon Curve compared to the GT2!

Cool video!

You have to remember...they can't drive these things like they REALLY want to, as they don't own the cars. And that's alot of $$$$ to crash. Not only can they not crash the cars, they can't blow them up, drop a tranny, etc..It would be the same for any of us if we were behind the wheel.

I recognized a couple of the drivers and they are legit, world class racers.

The guy in the F40 is Keeichi Tsuchiya. He's career is long and distinguised. He's even won some important races driving Porsche 911s. Oh..and he's won LeMans.

I watched a lot of other Best Motorings- for guys who don't own the cars, they sure as sh*% miss shifts a lot.

The only bit of the Japanese language I understood was "Fok yo" but I thoroughly enjoyed the race.
