A couple of cracking video's I got from PH of an R500 and GT2 at the Ring both travelling very quickly. Video 1 is from the Porsche, video 2 from the R500 and great to watch and worth going to YouTube to get the full size HD versions.


 
Certainly giving it 110%! Crazy RS500 driver, I didn't even give it half that much when I went round. Love 3:50 aswell, having some fun! :D

Edit - Nice sig Sam..looks suspiciously similar yet a whole lot better than mine! :D
 
am i abnormal for being disappointed porsches dont have an exhaust of an american V8.

Shoot me and ban me from motors for ever, but i prefer the american V8 soundtrack over the 911 straight 6 exhaust note.

Case in point

The ZR1 and the saleen mustang. Sound so much better than the 911 Turbo at the end :/

I see your point but the Porsche isn't exactly a 1.0 Corsa :p

(ie it sounds awesome aswell ;) )
 
Fantastic driving skills from both - but that R500 just has too much bhp/tonne, but gets creamed in long straights.#

I love the surge of speed you get from the Porsche though, you can just see everything starting to blur into hyperdrive - the R500 was just mental all the time! :D
 
Awesome videos it brings back memories of being taking round by a local in a GT3 RS he was just as commited as the GT2 driver. The R500 driver seemed to be having the odd problem with gear changes.
 
Amazing video, that is impressive driving!!
I am off to Anglesy this weekend:D
We are taking one of the UKs fastest Minis (BMW) and a Group N Impreza STI.
I will post the vids on YouTube.
Anyone else here going?

Don't you mean it needs more? :D

Awesome isn't it? Seems tame compared to the Caterham but then most things with 4 wheels would!
 
Flat 6 is an acquired taste and to most ears not as pure as a V8 perhaps but at 8000rpm my GT3 was simply MILES better than my RS4, different league of sound to me, proper race car noise that you can't get from videos.
