Really cool video of a 997 GT3 doing a little drifting and racing. You don't have to understand German to enjoy the motor sound. This show is similar to "Motor Trend" in the US. For all of you "porsch" fans listen to them pronounce "Porsch-eh". I figure a little education won't kill you.....

Mr Lipp,

Cool video.

I also think you'll find that most of us refer to our automobiles as "Porsch-eh" and not "porsch" but I'd like to thank you for learning us poor folk how to pronounce the name of our "Porches".

FYI

As long as we're in education mode here is the correct spelling of Nürburgring. :D

The umlaut is not being used anymore ( now ue), but thanks for pointing out the typo. :lol:

They are in the middle of dropping umlauts and ß and replacing them with ue and ss. Half the country wants to change the other half does not. I am sure that the computer age has a lot to do with the change. Hey, let's see if we can drag this debate out over 100 posts..... :lol:
