Great Video

Gotta love this video. Probably a repost but really worth watching. Be sure to turn your sound up.

Notice the car going the wrong way on the track at around 2:30. This is not what you'd call a relaxing Sunday drive! It's amazing the way the DCT shifts so instantaneously. Great video, Colonel!

Thanks for sharing, great to see how he passed all them Porsches

Obviously a very well experienced test driver (he overtook everyone surefooted and no one over took him). Not what I call a relaxing drive.

I think that one lost control and was looking for a spot to turn around (he may have been on a stretch were he could not see exactly what was coming so he drove back along the grass to have a good sight before attempting to turn around). I've driven the ring and seen this before.

If you watch closely, that is a spin out of a car ahead of him.

I understand the new Porsche 911 lapped the course 14 seconds faster than the previous model. Supposedly the Cadillac CTS-V has the fastest lap time for any 4 door sedan in the world. Anyone know the fastest lap time for any car?

I'm pretty sure that the all time track record is still held by Stefan Bellow in the Porsche 956 who did it in 6:11.13.
