Default RUF Yellow Bird lap of Ring......... video!
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...23568174&q=RUF

The handling is what I suppose can be best described as "interesting"

Fair bit of skill keeping that going, but I wouldn't fancy it

Who's that?

That's some proper driving that, pushing his luck a bit at times, but done well to keep that greasy weasel on the track

You can tell he's provoking it on purpose at times but when the pendulum-effect sets in it keeps on at it from one corner to the next all by itself

Used to have an old 911 and while you got MASSIVE traction out of corners you could very easily have it swinging all over the shop!
The rear pushes out the front quite a bit as well!

I cant watch the vid from work (Firewall ) but if its the one I am thinking of (yellow RUF) I think its Walter Rhol (Spelling ?).

I think he does most of the ring stuf for RUF and is well respected in the 911 world.
