All I could think was, "Sweet Molly McGriddle!!!!"

Now THIS is racing!

gotta love a sequential gearbox and straight cut gears!!


that was a nice start... he must have gridded in the back due to some qualifying issues

That was great, what was that last car that he passed?

man, that ran my dog out of the basement and upstairs, even then he was still barking when his revs got high

Are the straight-cut gears what's causing ALL that HI, SHREIKING noise?
HOLY (sorry) crap!

That was a bit hard to listen to, can't imagine how LOUD that must be inside the car.

He sure made it look easy.

Thats funny, one of my co-workers three offices down came running in, he thought there was something wrong with my hard drive

Great video , nut I have the same question.what causes the shrieking

Fast well sorted car, wonderful lines, a perfect example of moving ahead by outbraking ones competition - and of course huevos del acero.

Holy Guacamoly. That's gotta be like adrenaline by the quart.

I need to convert to a air shifter and stick it up next to the s-wheel. That's cool!!

my question is how many times would he be flagged for some of those inside passes/ atempts

depends on who you run with.
our very own rich b. was notorious for passing other cars in the dirt, especially when there's a running start and they put you at the end of the pack.

one thing about racing:
if you're fast and you win a lot, *THEY* will find a reason to penalize you and stuff you at the end of the pack!

there's nothing *fair* about this sport ...

That could be MS the way he caught the other cars

That's Dutch Super Car Challenge... It's an open series. Build what ever you want, any way you want
At the start of the season, they put your car on a dyno and then you're classed according to your power to weight ratio
Don't even consider running there unless you can afford to write off your car completely. Lots of damage and accidents

The track is the Assen TT track (famous for it's annual motorbike races) in the north of the Netherlands

Those Marcos Mantis cars are build here as well. Full tubeframe cars with a big V8

Well let's see, my car, one of Jakes 3.6's....

Jeroen, I'll put my car in my carryon bag and be right over.

Godamn sound shattered my trifocals in the first 15 seconds......what happens after that?

In the USofA, we call that Runwhatchabrung.....I love it.

Good Lord! When I posted the link to the video I was at work where I don't have sound

I didn't know what the hell you guys were talking about until I played it at home. What is wrong with that thing?

I had the sound almost off and my wife said she couldn't take it no more... like finger nails down a blackboard

Definetly a great video

What was the car? I know a good hearingaid salesman and that guys gonna need one!

Thanks for the link.
That was a ball to watch.
Keep'em comin.

BMW 320 STW. I want one now.

never mind the BMW... I want a tranny like that!
whiiiiiiiiiiiiii -tack- whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii - tack - whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

The car and tranny are sweet...but that g'damn straight gear noise would drive me insane

I wonder if it sounds that intense to the driver w/ helmet on, or if the mic on the video rig made it worse than it really is?

On the same note...I wonder if the 997 will ever be available with a SMG gearbox?

I don't get it Jeroen. MY 901 shifts like that. Doesn't yours?

Sounds like you might have a bad seal on your accustic coupler..

. dial up, i refuse to give comcast $100 + a month. everything takes forever. then sometimes the connection just drops. when i want to look at the members cars i save the stuff up. click on a page and go do something else. one thing i've learned is, when all the replies show up as red x'es i hit refresh and more often the pictures show up... but, it takes forever for them so show .

Its worth it Kevin....
the video reminds me of riding along with Jeroen in the turbo924GT or his 911- the Dutch are crazy drivers!
