Read evidence and context
Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Leading evidence: 'Test driver' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Test driver' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I could watch this guy all day. Anybody who thinks they need more horsepower think again. This footage is all about ***** and skill.
Nürburgring Nordschleife - Porsche 993 vs 997 GT3 RS - YouTube
[/QUOTE]
I've driven the ring in a bmw 328i
Although the 993 driver is good I agree with whiteout that the 997 driver wasn't pushing as hard because he has a car worth over 180,000 euros.
I was blowing past lambos because they simply weren't pushing as hard - not because I was such a better driver - the ring isn't a race track where people race each other for the most part - most people come to just test themselves and their cars.(unless it's a sanctioned race event- in which case these guys wouldn't be on track)
And there are lots of accidents that can spook people
In Mcbit's footage I don't see the driver wearing a helmet or any protective clothing...not even sure he has a competition harness on. The guy in the first clip is also sans protective clothing but at least he has a helmet on. Considering how at and often over the limit both drivers get, that's pretty scary.
Just thinking out loud now but I wonder how efficient both drivers are with that much opposite lock in their steering. They are obviously going fast but I wonder if a clock would show they could be even faster if they were smoother? I know I wouldn't be as fast them...smooth or ragged.
Here is the 993 driver:

Hi, that�s a 997 MkII GT3, the 3.8. No RS, no 4.0 and by the way mine
Dude, you are really pushing your car to the edge. How you drive on the Nordschleife I do not risk even on much safer tracks. Big respect.
Anyway, you could have the video longer, I enjoyed seeing you cornering afterwards

Hi Norbert
That drive with you was just awesome
It was just amazing to drive behind you.
Yes I saw you had a perfect save line.
I hope to see you soon again on the N�rburgring to have together some fun
This was my humble dice with superior horsepower. My car was a 944 with a 968 motor. The gray GT3 driver and I were pushing hard. Toward the end, you'll note that there is something to be said for brute force, though.

No they wouldn't be. The whole "smooth" thing to be honest is a bit of joke, look at any really fast driver and you will not see much smoothness, but a continuous stream of inputs that wrench the car back from certain doom. Smoothness is great when you are a novice, but on the limit, you will not be limited by "smoothness".
Have another look at Sabine's wet lap, and then look at the behind the driver camera, observe her steering wheel input, constant and often very aggressive.
