Sorry if it has been posted before.

YouTube - Walter Rohrl Porsche 911 at Nurburgring Nordschleife On board

This is how I want to commute to work every day

I guess all of us Walter Mitty wana be racers would love to ride with him. I wish I could drive like that, and my car was that fast.

[ghost1001]

Any idea what his average speed would be on a drive like that?

not walter roehrl and no 911 ST...
...but also at the Nordschleife and a 911RSR!

Never seen anyone run the Nordschleife in reverse direction before. Pretty awesome.

more drifting than driving. I kept expecting it to end badly. He's in 5th gear fishtailing.

sick :-)

I dont think that could be done any better.

and wheels spinning. incredible. thanks for posting so i could see it.
the speed of the right foot and down shifting blows my mind. my gear box is way too sloppy. i would be leaving parts on the ground if i tried that. my 914-6 was easier for my to do that in and easier for me drive. perhaps due to the poor breaks giving me more time to down shift.

Why is Mathai's lap time so slow? He seems to be really kuchen, yet it takes him over 10 minutes. Is it the north course plus the south?

"He's in 5th gear fishtailing."

Course is damp.

hello,

i have no idea what you mean with north and south course?
it is the grandprix circuit plus nordschleife...

[911pcars]

It seems the 915 is using short gearing.

That's what I meant, and the confusion is probably just that that's not what they're actually called. I wrongly--apparently--assumed that if the Nordscheife was "north," then the GP circuit was "south," but that does explain the 10-minute laps.

Course is damp.

If it were just damp, he'd be FLYING. Those white patches on the edge of the road are small piles of snow.

Oh, I've been around it a number of times, just didn't know the nomenclature.

Also Hockenheim.

Course is still damp, not wet.
