Where does this rate in your all time drives? Must be nice when a legend lives up to the hype. smile

Was seriously considering chucking in work for the day and heading back home to convalesce, but that's restored my sanity.

Life affirming stuff. Many thanks Chris party

Thanks to everyone who made the brilliant clip possible. Herr Singer teaching in the university is probably the best way of assuring that his enthusiasm and engineering principles are carried over to the new generations. Great news for car enthusiasts.

Great video. Thanks.

Love the picture at the top.

Some people have a stare that tells you they have seen things no man should see.

Others have a stare that tells you they have done things no man should do (and that it's now getting cold and damaging the seat) wink

Wow, Chris, fantastic video, thanks for this. Good chat with "the Man" too. Probably your best effort so far. Please keep it going.

Brilliant. A truly icon racer.

Now Chris, can you start working on letting someone lend you a Jaguar XJR9 for similar?

I can only imagine how nervous and terrified I'd be at being given the key to what must be millions of pounds worth of 250mph history. Don't you ever get a bit worried about what if when driving things like that?

Hi All,

Another great video, really are becomming my highlight of Thursdays!

I have a techie question, what are the vents on the rear axle that look like standard car suspension turrets. Looks like they vent the discs or wheel bearings or what!?

Cheers
Ed.

Mr. Singer has also written an excellent book on Porsche's 16 Le Mans victories (he was involved with all of them) called 24:16. Very highly recommended, it's one of the best motorsport related books I've ever read.
Sold out amazon.co.uk, but still available at amazon.com.
Check it out!

Edit: maybe still available? At 10 quid it's an absolute bargain!
