great thread.

[ELVA164]

this video for sure is sped up

Nooope. ~600whp super/turbocharged with gear drive and AWD, 0-60 in 2.5. It'll happen.

The bikes on isle of mann is the coolest motorsport video, ever. The rally driver has nothing on those riders on that course.

That hill climb was probably the coolest video ive seen in awhile... Also who ever posted that RUF yellowbird on the nurburgring, I love that video my jaw dropped the first time I saw it. Thanks guys for all the post! Keep the proper driving clips coming!

[Bothfeetin]

^^^ also that AWD or RWD ELVA164?

[ELVA164]

@ ohthejosh, not cool IMO. We work on and race those types of cars at our shop (late '50s-late '60s road racers), and a lot of the best drivers from that era died very early as a result of those conditions. I know it was a reality at the time, but there is so much greatness we could focus on instead of the gratuitous collections of crashes.

@Julien I still think his 1989 Suzuka qualifying (http://vimeo.com/10427952) is one of his most impressive clips....aside from these, of course:





and the best lap ever recorded:

^^^ also that AWD or RWD ELVA164?

If you mean the BMW, it's a custom AWD setup using an IMSA-spec race motor with an F1 turbo. (Or a 2.5l EVO II s14 with an F1 turbo, if you think that's possible.) 700+hp.

The TT is hands-down the coolest motorsport ever.

A good friend's family is from there. We are hoping to make the trip next year to watch. I can't wait to see this shit in real life

[ELVA164]

I also REALLY wish there was more than this one clip of the great Jimmy Clark onboard...he is easily my favorite driver.

[borrihong]

Yes, I do.

:loco: J/K, love ya man
