This car was commissioned to be built by his Dad to honor John Paul Jr. and draw awareness to Huntington's Disease. His son just turned 15 and is piloting this 935 around Road Atlanta in the vid below. He has been bred to do this from a young age - mainly through carting.

Enjoy!

Tony

Yeah. That young kid is driving his Dad's 935 in anger!

Yes it is Dave...another 4 seconds, it'll be as fast as a teener! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Willis is coming on strong and his dad is not only very wealthy, he's a total gear-head. Truth be known - the boost was turned
down for Willis - its capable of making 750 hp - not sure of its output here but it was still relatively high (but not THAT high).

They turned down P _ _ _ _ _ E this year - conflicts with schooling. Must be nice to have "those" kind of options...

Video became 1000% better after they lost the music.
What are people thinking when they add music to a Porsche track video.
Is it supposed to make the video more exciting?
Not too me, just aggravates me to no end.
Crazy to me....

I'd like to hear what that 935 engine sounds like with a little more HP dialed in.

Wow - that was enjoyable. Yeah, to be young and unaware of one's own mortality.....Looked like he was doing a good job though.

Depends on the 914. And the driver. (I would be about forty seconds a lap slower, myself!!)

But I didn't mean brutal as in "a fast time around the track", but as in "lots of power comes on at once in a big wallop and is one heck of a handful". Even with the car "dialed back" you can still see there are a number of times he has to catch it when the turbo spins up and shoves all the air in.

This is Jim Pace - an amazing driver in his own right piloting the same car at Road America. I can assure you Jim wouldn't step into the car without it being 100% correct. It sounds really no different from the Road Atlanta video - maybe they were running full boost. You can also hear the brakes squealing again - all good.

PS: For anyone who wants to ever get onto a race track - watching Jim's videos is worth every second. This one has real-time commentary and is certainly worth the 10 minutes it runs.

DD: I totally agree with you...

Tony

Cracker,

Thanks for posting the Pace vids. I didn't know this guy from a hole in the ground, and I can't believe how much I enjoyed his commentary. Really awesome stuff!
