Watched a bit of it (downloaded the rest for latter). Really cool, lots of Porsches around the Nurburgring in the SNOWbloody bonkers!!

did the ring in the wet- cannot imagine how it would be in the snow!!!!!!If it I was doing it in the scoob I'd have to disable the bloody ABS first!!!

Only 217 replies ? And what about John Jefstead, the ring driver ?

wally

Sorry, I mean Felstead... must be a little shaky from last night...

driving like that in an enclosed circuit on snow is so easy, nice video but nothing to get excited about or call people a sissy over, it's pretty tame.

wally

I'm not saying that you're a sissy, I meant to say that most people who will see this video, will feel themselves like sissy, even if they don't admit it. Honestly, I think that there are no more then 5 people on the Scoobynet that can drive like this; Talking in the pub is one thing, prove it on a track is another. John, you have already proved it of course but you must agree that this is something special...!!!!

johnfelstead

something special? Not really. With a few hours coaching i would think 50% of the people on this BBS could do that at the speeds he is going in that car. Driving like that on snow in a car like that is dead easy.

Of course you would need to know where the track goes to be able to do that at the ring, but the actual style involved looks fabulous but is very simple to execute.

wally

Well John, next week I'm going to the Ring on sunday the 9th, maybe you can take me for a flying lap, I have a Scooby myself, and can drive but always prepared to learn and admit there will be a faster and better then me...

Here is another one, Mark Verhoeven from EMS Holland, the one that also did some tuning on my car he actually follows the 'ringtaxi', and you know how hard that is...
