7:25 Overtake is crazy... skill to get in there without causing a ruskus..oth

3rd Lap Tires are set in and Ralf gains huge

gr8 vdo thnx for sharing; I felt planted watching this on my home theatre.. almost busted out FM4 and wanted to blip the throttle in "Power" mode.

Depending on the tune of the 8-9 Litre Big Block Chev anywhere from 800-1000 horse in a 1800lb package.The Porsche 917-30 in the final year of Can-Am was 1200 horse in race trim and 1400 horse in qualifying trim.I think there was a big difference in the driving talent in that video.
