Porsche 997 GT3 -v- Dodge Viper GT3 at the ‘Ring
Posted by Craig under Cars and videos with the tags Dodge Viper GT3 • Nurburgring • Porsche 997 GT3 • Ring • YouTubeBy jingo both of these cars can fairly shift!
The guy in the 911 really knows where to place it on the track to ensure the seemingly faster Viper can’t squeeze past.
The Nurburgring seems to be one of the few tracks where you see all classes of cars on track at the same time - in this clip there are not only the two GT3 cars which feature, but also a collection from practically every other manufacturer from Lambourghini and BMW right down to Opel Corsas and Ford Fiestas.
The speed differential must be an added pressure on a monster of a circuit which already tests your concentration levels to the limit.
There are a few times during this clip that I was sure the Viper and Porsche were destined to come together but somehow the two drivers managed to avoid each other - and the other drivers!
Go on, watch it - it’s a brilliant way to spend 10 minutes…
