Crazy flat out GT2RS

What MPH is 7,000rpm in 5th on one of these cars? Spotted a couple of sections where he is pushing up to that level.
Also would anyone like to buy a car that is driven as hard as this, on camera so who knows how it’s driven otherwise. He’s on the limiter countless times - does that log in the engine mgt system as “over rev”?
That's really not being driven hard at all. You can't over rev a PDK either - Porsche are pretty clever at not letting you blow things up if they can program it not to, it'll just ignore the request for the downshift.Also would anyone like to buy a car that is driven as hard as this, on camera so who knows how it’s driven otherwise.

PDK and PDK S gearboxes can result in an engine being overevved.By hanging onto the lower gears when descending a steep decline.
The GT2 RS engine by Porsche standards being turbo and extremely torquey is not particularly high revving.

‘Over revs’ are when the engine speed is above the limiter. The report might include the number of times the limiter was reached, but that’s not an ‘over rev’.
I must have missed something but he doesn’t look to be driving the car particularly hard to me.
7,000r in 5th gear in a GT2RS - you don’t think that’s particularly hard.I must have missed something but he doesn’t look to be driving the car particularly hard to me.
I’m guessing until someone can provide the gear ratios but I’d imagine top end of 5th is 160+mph easily on the public road.
Actually this chap may have a chance of beating that IOMTT Suburu time #canofworms

There is no excuse for driving like that on public roads.
And the video you linked to, the guy was killed in car accident.

2:12 is just utterly mad driving, no wonder that guy is dead, hopefully he didn't take anyone with him... and there's some random guy crossing the road with a gun in his hand.
Nice.

Yes, I didn't see it as "crazy" driving particularly. A bit spannerish maybe, but just my opinion.
That's exactly the point I'm trying to make. Not clever, lucky.
