Nice documentary on the story of Ruf. Very nice 901 at the beginning.

Enjoyed watching that, I drove the road ( circuit ) in 2013 en route back from Zell. It's really fast and must have been daunting in an F2 Car. The Glemsheck Hotel on the first corner is worth a lunch/dinner stop and while not modern is good. We overnighted there.

- Why is the camera bouncing up and down at times, or is it the springs on the car?
- The chicanes spoil it , they're not really needed on a demo run like this.
- He gives it the welly in places ! See him passing the 906/910.

Your own Lola would be nice to drive there !

The 908-3 was the inspiration for my little Lola and all the school boy dreams of these cars in the late 60's... :drunken:

OK - I have never really understood how a differential works. I know, I know....

But I found this from (seemingly) the 1950's.....it's about my level. And now I get it.

Just need to brush up on my LSD knowledge now.....

Another Singer lookalikey thing here, but based on a 993 platform. Interesting, but shame about the commentary!
Website's worth a visit, if only to look at the headlights....
