johnc Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Try driving a 2,500 lb. yellow death trap with gobs of horsepower, turbo lag, steering kickback (bumpsteer), and an engine hanging out the back - around the 'Ring. http://jalopnik.com/5216411/faszination-nurburgring-ruf-ctr-yellowbird-reminds-us-to-keep-it-real Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globerunner513 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 who said drifting was the slow way 'round the track.....haha! Seemed like he was sideways more often than not. Amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggyZ Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Did anyone notice his steering wheel doesn't rotate on center? Maybe he was just wearing it out with all that man-handling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beau M Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I'm not usually a fan of in-car videos, but holy F. Those motorcyclists must have had the crap scared out of em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 I honestly think the steering wheel is superfluous in that car. All the steering is done with the throttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4xwellmurd3r Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Did anyone notice his steering wheel doesn't rotate on center? Maybe he was just wearing it out with all that man-handling! actually it looks like that steering wheel was made off axis, so the steering shaft isn't dead center on the wheel.

heavy85 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I know I cant drive and that video proves it. I cant even think that fast let alone make my hands move that fast! I actually laughed out loud at how ridiculous that is. So much for apexes and smooth. Apparently rally style if FAST. Cameron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essdeezee Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Sweet jesus! That car must be absolutely terrifying. (I mean that in the most complimentary way possible) But wow. That track is ridiculous (I also mean that in the most complimentary way possible). No matter how many videos of laps I see on it, it's still ridiculous. Imagine how much more so it is in real life.

PETEW Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I know my heart got pounding when he starting rowing left and right and didn't seem to have any control of the car for a good second or two while flying down one of the "straights" of the ring. That guy was just plain ole sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armand Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Wow, just wow. ..With no care to wear a helmet at that. He's got some square balls man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
