    Fast T5 at the 'Ring video

    I love this video, apologies if it's a re post.

    Look at the way it reels in the 911 at 5.46, impressive stuff!

    Can't wait to go there again, although my one won't be going round before I've improved a few things (OK, most things!)

    Nice i havent seen that before! hmmm the wondrously predictable understeer of a t5! but damn he knows the ring! its a real lesson in how to and not to drive watching others in front especially the black cossie. volvo laddo is even confident missing apexs and arriving offline! must have some good brakes. i salute you whoever you are!

    Nice one, the driver did really well and took a fair few scalps there, I bet the Porsche and Cossies drivers wished they had taken the bus.

    It did seem a while between changes for almost 400ps
    but i have an auto and it doesnt change to third till 80
    and holds third till 120

    seems like people commute on that road
    i saw vans , puntos , scooters some sort of people carrier
    it was only 3 saffires puffing smoke that made me think anyone was trying

    even then they were probably stock
