Video onboard GT86-Cup car during Nurburgring VLN Race
 

Shows how good driving and great handling can overcome being down on power :thumbsup:

At 15:10 ... those pesky Porsche's swoop on in for the kill... then disappear, too much handling and HP

Very cool. He topped out around 132MPH.

Anybody know where I can find the specs of the car? Genuinely curious...

That gt86 sticks to the road like a snail on the wall! The driver makes a great job taking advantage of the balance of the car and maintaining the inertia on those overtakes:clap:

Too straight of a course for handling to win out on power. But nice driving and fun to watch.

Dude actually placed 3rd in his class at the 24h race this year. He stayed out on slicks as it started to pour.

Brilliant pass on lap 4, ~16:00, right after the GT cars blast through, headed into the carousel. Two bimmers in one blow. Great driving indeed!

Pretty intense, especially when the higher class cars were coming through and he had to give them room but still try to take advantage of the disruption that they were causing among the cars that he was battling.
