It's a full lap of the Nurburgring in a 956C with Derek Bell driving and commentating. -- Curt

I think that's the footage that's included in the video "956/962 - Driver's View."

For those that aren't familiar with that video it is just under an hour of different drivers on different international tracks all shot from the cockpit of a 956 or 962. Great stuff for sure.

It always amazes me how difficult the Nürburgring is because of the changes in elevation--you can't see half of the turns before its too late. Great stuff, thanks for posting.

Uh -- Mr D. Bell MBE is the driver for all of the segments. The one that I found particularly interesting was Le Mans. After he pulls on the Mulsanne Straight and gets up to terminal speed you can hear the wind whistling by....

I love the fact that the 956 winds out to max rpm . . . and stays there. . .and will not go any faster. What do you think that is, about 240?
