Default RUF Porsche at The 'Ring

This is a classic bit of incar footage, it's old, and yes you've probably see it. But we were discussing this drive the other night, so I thought I'd post up the link for those who've never seen it.

Klaus, dial in more RUF

This is what the car looks like.

After watching that video for the 9th time, I went and drove my Yellowbird around the 'ring in GT4. MY GT4 car is much faster and not nearly as tail-happy as the one in the video. What totally sucks however, is that because it's a rear-engine car, GT4 has decided that the driver shouldn't be able to hear the motor... either that or I need surround sound in my bedroom... because you can't hear shit for engine noise, it's like driving an electric car.

That is one ham-fisted driver. And the car doesn't look like it's set up very well, at least in terms of springs & damping rates. It looked downright scary through some of the bumpy corners.

There were lots of spots where he was unecessarily partially airborn. Over-sprung FTL. The 'ring is downright dangerous for uber-stiff cars. It's not really a race track, it's a crazy country road, with track-style curbs.
