PCA SDR

My wife bought me the entire series on DVD for Christmas (sans the Ferrari DVD that is on backorder) . Although I have seen them all at least once, or twice, or more on Speedvision, if you like the series, buy the DVD. Quite a bit longer plus sound is better, plus widescreen.

The Porsche DVD has quite a few clips not seen on the broadcast version (that I recall). Two of which show Alain De Cadenet absolutely frying the tires off the RUF Yellowbird and putting the car into a high speed drift to the point it smokes the outside rear all the way around the turn. He does more or less the same on a shorter clip toward the end on a RUF 996 Turbo. Pretty good driving, to say the least! Not something I would have thought you could do on asphalt with a 911 Turbo, especially an older one!.Kind of makes my driving skills look pretty feeble! :

Hey Mike,
I've seen you do the same thing several times ..............
(just before you ran off the track!!!) hahahehehehe

Mike, You sure that wasn't "Sideways Stefan" at the Nurburgring? No helmet, no suit, no gloves, just trusting his own talent! There's a video called Fascination on the Nurburgring that showcases the Ruf Yellow bird turbo. I think I have it somewhere.........

Yes I have a video of two laps of varying angles from helicopters, inside the car and outside the car. No glove, no helmet, no suit, maybe some sun glasses....boy does that guy drive!!!!

I am pretty sure it is De Cadenet as there is a shot from inside the car. However, no helmet, no gloves, etc. If you watch the series, he drives a lot of the cars pretty damn fast with just a pair of goggles, or maybe a 50' s style helmet. That is having confidence in your driving abilities.

You may have noticed that I was NOT drawn into the pre-TT smack talk initiated by the short, sometimes obnoxious, cigar smoking driver of the other yellow car!

Mike, I cannot for the life of me identify who you are talking about I am sure the cigar smoker will stand up and be counted soon. I heard somewhere that this person has some predictions........hhmmmmmm....
