Terrifying driving/riding, reaching up to 176mph on public roads, in traffic...

Re: porsche vid. of the day
Not much to say about that, happens up my way too. Seems to be the norm for some, hope I never become a casualty in their wake.
Will action be taken by tracing them off the video/You Tube?

Reckless enough to be driving like that - but even more stupid to post the video online when it clearly shows the Porsche's registration number !! ...

Re: porsche vid. of the day
I don’t get out much but have never seen anything quite like that to be honest - YouTube or real life. Utter madness. I would hope that 20 years on that couldn’t happen due to traffic volumes, but in these current times that may not ring quite true.....It made my palms sweat just watching it. Everyone on that road was lucky that day.
I am sure the 993 kissed that little 106’s front wing early on. It is staggering how quick the 993 was (clearly the bloke was a nut-job), but it amazed me that he had kept up with the bike after being overtaken. He also had a lot of faith in his tyres, running in the gutter at 150mph plus. Barmy

Re: porsche vid. of the day
It was mad for both to indulge, but I was 'impressed' at the accuracy of the 911's driver making a private 3rd lane on those roads.
Bikers round by me ride like that on every Wed evening when it is dry and most Sunday mornings.
There is a rush for breakfast and EVERYONE is late, so need to PRESS-ON.
In a car trolling along it is mighty scary and if you are in something perceived to be special, then you are in the cross-hairs.
I hear a lot of ambulances about 1/2 hour after the swarms have passed, Sports Bikes, Harleys, then scooters punctuated by some race sounding cars slowly chasing.
With the roads now sop desolate the racing is at a frantic pace, this week FAR more traffic throughout the day.

Re: porsche vid. of the day
Not sure if this has been posted before, but if so worth another watch.
Awesome lap of Spa in an early 911, opposite lock through Pouhon, a couple of 3 abreast overtakes and lots of amazing car control. This is how good we would all love to be....

Re: porsche vid. of the day
Good to see that again!
We were planning a visit to SPA this Sept for the 6 hour Classic, missed it deliberately last year for a rest, then on to a few other places, including Germany.
The French are saying no open sport until at least end of August, so I guess that's SPA out for 2020.
