The 911 ruf video is amazing, thanks for the links!

Ditto the 911 clip - wonder if he had any tyres left

Rich.

 

I always wanted to go and drive 'round the Nurburgring...

You've just saved me the expense!!!

No way is anyone going to get me going round there whilst basket-cases like that are hooning-round. Consumately-skilled they may be!

 

Boy can that guy in the 911 drive and overtaking in f1 what more do you wont, cool clips.

Scott I'm running a Cube and and iMac. You'll need to get something like Stuffit Deluxe which can unstuff zip files. I'll see if I can unstuff these tomorrow from work ( MacWarehouse)

Nice to see you have some taste rather than buy a boring beige slow box.

Wicked!

Any more??

Niall

 

johjohjones, i'm sorry for having style

 

yip - this one is a belter

 

not bad, but they are better on AMPLAND.COM

 

Allan
the files are unzipped but it won't open the file in simpletext because it is too big
any suggestions

nice to see someone else does'nt follow the crowd and goes for something with true power(its just i can't use it)

cheers Scott

 

that guy is incredible! like his brain is directly linked to the steering wheel...thanks for the link

 

Holy wotsits.......that must have been some ride

 

That was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The clips download and extract as a .WNV file which isn't recognised by anything on my pooter, including Media PLayer. Any ideas? Should they download as MPEGs?

 

The guys at Performance Car/EVO have banged on about this video for ages. Apparently the drive is some bloke called Stefan who was Ruf's test driver.

Read an account of a Journalist being taken for a drive round the 'ring by Stefan and the Porsche blowing a rear tyre and they clipped the barrier. Stefan wasn't fazed in the slightest.

 

There must be something in a first name if he too was an unfazed barrier clipping lunatic!

 

Not quite in the same league as some of those!, but here are some scooby clips from the scoobytrax video, in case anyone hasnt seen them...

 

They were pretty cool !!!

 

**WOW**

Certainly glad those weren't my tyres !
Amazing

 

RB5SCOTT,
The files are saved in some form of Windows media player format and hence can't be viewed by the Mac.
The Mac uses file attributes to know what type of file it is (i.e PICT or MPG) and what programs can open it instead of the Windows method of relying on the suffix (.wmv).
The problem Macs users will have is that the file attributes are not set on any of these movies (actually they are but to odd signatures) and hence the Mac will make a guess at what application can open it. SimpleText tends to be the default when no program can be found to open a certain file type. Blah Blah Blah...

Basically we would need to find a Windows program that will take this .wmv format and convert it to .mpg

 

WHAT A NUCKING FUTCASE!!!!!

Even on the straights the wheels were pointing somewhere else.

It just proves the point I CAN'T DRIVE.

 

I think the 911 clip is from a Discovery programme from 1993/4 - I have the whole lap on video and it is truely amazing - is the driver Barry 'Whizzo' Williams????

 

Hi Rikki23, you need the very latest version of Windows media player (the one included in Windows ME which I think is version 7) to play these files. WNV is a new Micro$oft format based on mpeg, but only the latest players can handle it.

Cheers,
Iain

Hi Iain

I thought that might be the case after hunting round the MSDN site for ages but I only have Windows 95. I got it to work however - it automatically downloaded some codec files or something and worked with no sound.

It is absolutely magnificent, I'd love to have been in the RUF

 

Simply outstanding...... Outstanding enough to forgive him for wearing black shoes with white socks.

Mike.

 

That guy's a nutter , but what skill , must of had about 1000 fly's splatted over the windscreen .
