I don't think the "run out of talent" expression applies well to this driver. Clearly racing driver skills, awesome car control, and racing drivers do crash.

Now, I would promptly run out of talent and maybe lives (since I'm not a cat) on any one of those high speed oversteer moments...

Love it! Three wide and on the grass at one point

Following the link on the truck behind the pranged car, you can see the guy driving in the vids is somebody called Pascal Pandelaar. Speaking as a mere mortal, he appears very talented to me. Looks like the driving of the car is shared so who is to even say if it was him that had the incident. I'd settle for that level of driving skill!

Nicely driven in a car with no grip. It looked predictable in it's handling and he is clearly a much quicker driver than most on the grid. Passing becomes an issue in a long distance race with large grids. It could well have been passing a car that just didnt see him comming. I had real problems with traffic in the Britcar 24 in Henry's 996 cup. Some laps we were making 30 plus passes and some closing speeds are massive. If the slower car doesn't see you it is easy to have contact although obviously it is down to you if you do. To give you an idea of the differences in speeds, we lapped the Top Gear Car over 200 times during the race.

i think it was

I have to say, your comments may not be unreasonable. I've watched this video again and there is a lot of time lost to oversteer in the footage. I have no experience in racing older 911's so i am not qualified to comment but it certainly wouldnt be the way I'd drive one. if I drove a cup car like that I'd certainly be well off of the pace.

I am the driver of this Porsche 911 from 1964.... My name is Pascal Pandelaar and i am the co-driver from the owner Roman Caresani.

I have to explane a few things.
We have to deal with small Dunlop Racing tyres 5.00M15. The's bias tyres are period and don't have that mutch grip.
You have to deal with constant 4 wheel slides to be quick.......
The You Tube video "Qualifying in traffic" is just one of my outlaps on old hard tyres...and for sure not fast but fun!!

Just watch my other video's.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GK3fDkZ1kgg, this is one of my quick and good qualifying laps.

The car i allways drive is the red 911 with number 107 on it. The other 911 (with damage) is the sister car with start number 108.
For sure damage is allways possible in a big race like the Spa 6-hours. Untill now i never crashed or made a scrape in 8 times Spa 6-hours......

The onboard video's looks spectacular, but driving the car together with the Dunlop tyres is a good and predictable.

Duel Motorsport in Holland built a fantastic reliable Porsche 911 2 liter long distance race car with a great engine and gearbox.
Driving the small 911 around Spa is fantastic and the best race of the year!!!

I have only one thing to say Pascal "You da Man". Its seeing stuff like your videos that inspired me to save for many years and buy a 911.
