OV9

This is a good episode

Short one - not on YouTube - sent on to me by @scotta with a link to the book of faces.

Latest footage from Andy Forrest’s new car at Knockhill. Fucking hell it looks nuts - every other car on track appears to be on a cool-down lap.

Yeah those aren’t current specs

Blimey; 60-120 in about 3s, in one gear

I bet that's great fun!

Good video. Disagree with what he said at 5:01 though. I’m not the best driver but I’ve watched enough videos / sat next to a few excellent 911 drivers to know the best way is to trail brake all the way to the apex. (though that’s high risk high reward obviously; get the braking wrong and you’d miss the apex and run wide / shoot past the corner)

One of the best demo videos is by Dean Stoneman (FIA F2 Champion, multiple-race winner at Porsche Carrera Cup GB); 1:02 quite possibly the quickest I’ve seen, going around and exiting that chicane at Bedford Autodrome. Keeping the nose down then taking full advantage of the rear-engine layout.

That is highly believable given the way it eats up the straights - 40-120mph in the time it takes a passenger to shit thier pants a little.

Christ alive that's devastatingly quick.

^ that.

Probably a repost but I don't recall seeing anything here about it;

I love that they still make this, must be the last honest no frills 4x4.

Would be a good choice for some green laning.

Did I understand correctly, it has a seat airbag but not steering wheel or passenger dash, and it's £6k for them to get it registered? Aircon! and the variants and options
