Very impressive I have a video somewhere of Derek Bell lapping there in 6.00 dead in a Porsche 956

6.41. Fastest video lap available. Made in 1983.

Really ?

That is impressive considering Stefan Rosers lap record is 6'11"

Stefan Bellof's record.
Stefan Roser is the fellow who drove in the "Yellowbird" videos for Ruf.

I think I've made about four mistakes/mis-statements in PH just this weekend.

Several threads on this one already folks!

[Psychobert]

Oops..

There are quite a few videos on that site, some of which are pretty good. Some pretty horrible looking chaved up cars there too..

Awesome lap. I wish I could drive like that.

That bloody SL towards the end though.

speaking of those, does anyone know if the videos are sitting on a website somewhere for me to download? or where you can buy copies?

Ruf have a lovely 2-disc set. It includes the original "Faszination" disc with Roser going crazy in the Yellowbird. The new disc has sufficient footage of Roser ripping around in the RTurbo, but the best parts are a lengthy interview with Alois Ruf, who shares anecdotes about the company's history, his family, etc., and a goodly amount of footage of classic Porsche racecars in action back in the '60s and '70s.
It's a bit dear but a nice complement to a petrolhead's library.
Ruf are at 0049 8265 911 911. The girl who should answer the phone speaks perfect English.
