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.

I've done DE's at several tracks, including a 4 day personal test of fortitude at the old Nurburgring.
Leading evidence: 'Test of fortitude at the old nurburgring' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

Every time that video gets put out there, I get bombarded with questions about how I mounted the cameras, and did the driving, etc. I'm not taking questions on it this time. Just enjoy the video.
Very funny Scott
If folks really want to know how that video is done they'd be better off with the Porsche web page it's linked from:

In 1983, my brother and I made a trip with PCA on their fall Treffen to the factory to pickup my new 944. During our visit, we spent the afternoon at Weissach, and took rides around the track with test drivers in each of the models in the Porsche line (944, 911, 930, 928). I told my brother, that in case we didn't have time to sample all the cars, be sure to get in the line for the 930.
The 930 driver did not disappoint. He drifted the car to edge of the track in ever corner. At one point on the course, there was construction next to the edge of the track. Over 6 inches of material had been dug away, and there was a track loader and a dump truck. He never lifted and simply stopped his slide just before we would have dropped off the track and crashed in a ball of flame.
He did seem distracted by the drivers side power window switch and was constantly readjusting the window position. Frankly, I was wishing he paid more attention to the road. He told me that he had thousands of laps around the course, and could probably do it with his eyes closed just from memory. I told him that I would trust him on that one, thank you very much.
As we rocketed down the long straight, we were passed by the 928 driver who chopped across our path with a move straight from the high banks of Bristol. My first thought was that it was a pretty dumb move, then an instant later we both were passed by a 935 on a hot lap. He passed us both like we were in reverse.
I recall the hairpin at the and of the straight as having a bit of banking. When we hit the banking, I could feel the blood rushing from my head, and I remember thinking that if we both pass out, I hope the driver can recall the course while unconscious.
The rides lasted 2 laps. Every 10 laps, the driver would stop to have the tread depth measured. There were about 100 tires mounted to support the 4 cars. The driver told me that with the numbers of laps they would do today, they would probably go through all of the tires prepared.
I've done DE's at several tracks, including a 4 day personal test of fortitude at the old Nurburgring. But nothing impressed me as much as those hot laps around Weissach. Trust me, the driver in the video is not going as fast as he can.
Cheers,
Fred R.: Your post brings back memories. I did the Treffen in 1986 and got to ride a lap of Weissach in the 935 - definitely the ultimate E-ticket ride and what got me hooked on Porsche.
