Porsche Yellowbird Laps The Nurburgring

[Pilgrim1975]

This is probably an old clip by now, but may I present, for your viewing pleasure and doubtless accompanied by numerous uses of the letters 'WTF?!', Porsche RUF Yellowbird lapping the infamous Nurburgring Nordschleife, as driven by Stefan Roser (AKA Mr. Mad Jack McMad of Madcastle, winner of last year's Mr Madman competition):

Get out.

Not even a smiley for you.......

I'll tell you how old that clip is.. I bought it on VHS cassette back in the early nineties from RUF when they were operating out of Guildford.

Still an amazing video however.

It's like a V2000 Cassette, only less feature rich.

I don't think the sarcasm is obvious though (if it is sarcasm). I doubt a lot of youngsters these days would know what a VHS cassette is. I remember a while ago some teenager had his iPod swapped with a walkman for a week - he had it for a few days before he worked out that if you turn the tape around there's more music!

[nicky.mattsson]

It was sarcasm, I'm 27, i remember Betamax....... only just mind

[peterbredde]
