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.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Leading evidence: 'better assessment' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'better assessment' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). 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.

Anyway, the article cites the video as being from "Faszination on the Nurburgring." The driver is Stefan Roser, a Ruf test-driver.
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.

This driver must have extraordinary skill or he is just throwing the car around for effect. I can't imagine driving a car as ill handling as this one seems to be. Surely, other high performance older 911's are better than this, aren't they?
I think this was the car Road and Track used in its acceleration and top speed tests. Very powerful, but this seems goofy.
Smooth he is not so I think that says how good he is. He does get an 11 for big brass ones but a -12 for no helmet. Not that that would help if he made one less lucky correction. Hey, he is fast though.
That car seems to have no grip at all. Actually I think he technique was great for trail braking but I don't think that the fastest way around the track and one mess up and your off into the grass.
Probably a better assessment. He did have good technique for saving the car but I couldn't tell if his grip level sucked or if he was intentially going in deep to induce a drift. IMHO, way TOO much trailbraking and drifting if that was his intent. If not, then he needs new tires. Regardlesss, those are some brass *****, especially sans helmet.
I can't verify this, but I've heard in other forums that the driver didn't use the breaks at all: he scrubbed off speed by throwing the car sideways. As to "ill handling", I don't know. Stefan's hands are busy but that's what it takes to get the Yellowbird sideways at that speed.
There's another version of the same run that's shot from a helicopter. In those shots, the driving is a thing of beauty, like rally driving but on pavement. The car approaches a high-speed sweeper, the tail kicks out nice and gentle, and smoke starts pouring out of the tire wells. If you've got the Porsche edition of "Victory by Design" you can see this briefly in the intro.
That other video is at:

Really doesn't look any better to me. That just can't be the fast way around.
And to top it off, in searching I found this too:

I kind of doubt that this is the same car since it barely stays with the M3 it is following.
That guy is kicking ***, I'll bet he'd kick any of your butt's even in older tech cars matched against your 996's. Helmet would've been smart though! WOW.
Looks like he was definitely going for the "exciting" way around. I thought the driving was precise, even if he wasn't shooting for a fast lap time.
OT, but here's a video of a really fast line around the 'ring:

Just picked up the latest issue of EVO magazine. There's a good article in it about the CTR and the new RT12. Anyway, the article cites the video as being from "Faszination on the Nurburgring." The driver is Stefan Roser, a Ruf test-driver.
