Default OT: video of porsche GTS RS @ sebring

while browsing the rennlist forums, i came across this video. just thought some of you would be interested. that 6th to 1st sequence is beautiful. but i'm wondering, did he need to go down to first in that right hander?

kepani-who loves the sound of the glorious flat-six.

Wow, I've heard that Sebring is a rough surface, but that video makes it look 100X worse than the in-cars on the Audi R8s. That guy looked like he was really struggling with the bumps and such.

Judging by the oversteer when he was back on it possibly not.

edit: N/M. I watched it at work with no sound. Upon further inspection at home, the oversteer was before he was back on the throttle. Seems like he wound out 1st pretty good, so sure I guess.

Wow,

"Perfect" still wouldn't be a good enough word to describe this Porsche driver's heel-toe rev-matching.

Absolute music to my ears!

BTW, is that our friend Leh Keen?

I was pondering that as well. Could it be "the" King Leh?

I'd say the set-up's pretty l00se.

yeah I don't know if "struggling" is really the best word to describe it,

his car definetely gets squirly here and there, but that guy seems to take it without a care.

It's pretty amazing how much his seat flexes in turns and even over bumps...
