That was great! I rarely sit thru an entire video but this one had my full attention. I even found myself talking back at the screen...."GET OUTTA THE WAY, BEAMER!!"

semtex · 05-21-2009, 03:26 PM

I liked how the Lambo got into the mix for a while.

Wow, That was a great video. Almost had a little contact right at the beginning

That was a great battle between 2 drivers that know that track narrow track very well. The GT3 wasn't giving him an inch!

Seemed like there was a ton of traffic, wonder how many cars were on track?

ssqpolo · 05-22-2009, 12:02 AM

talk about knowing the dimensions of ur car! damn i still get the heeby jeebies parking my ho in the garage where there is a ton of space!!

that was an awesome vid, the viper woulda owned the GT3 though had it been in front from the start, well it was but let the GT3 pass right at the start and couldn't pass him again til the end lol

x2 man that was the best nurburgring video I have seen, that was a perfect example of pro's going battling at the limit, beautiful sight. Hell I was rooting for the viper.

Great video. Some random comments:

The Porsche driver had apparently nothing to lose, as demonstrated on the first corner, when he "gives the Viper the change" for the Viper's overtaking, it could've been really ugly!
You can tell the Porsche is lighter, and handles perhaps a little bit better, and how the Viper makes up for it with extra power
At 03:05, I felt the Viper could've tried to move inside (to the right) aggressively in the braking for the next turn, especially considering traffic. It might have worked.
Ditto at 04:33. This one might have resulted in both overshooting and locking up, but I think the Viper might have come out successful, if no contact was made.
Incredible to see the difference in performance between these two thoroughbred race cars and some of the other "traffic", which contained some cars that otherwise, on their own, are complete bad a&$es!
08:48 - amazing closure rate, considering the turn!
09:18 - WHAT? Where did he come from? LOL, the Viper could have used some taller gearing in 6th

A great battle, but overall I think the Viper driver was not aggressive enough, either because it was not worth it (maybe just lapping for testing), or not experienced enough.

ssqpolo · 05-23-2009, 10:48 AM

not experienced enough? that dude had bawls of steel and ability of the Stig!

miguez · 05-23-2009, 10:53 AM

As I mentioned, it could be lack of aggressiveness, perhaps due to lack of importance.
