Default 993 on the Nordschleife

We had some fun past weekend at the Nürburgring. My 993 has been there a couple of weeks already but I haven't had a chance to go and drive it until this weekend.

Here's a lap on the legendary Nordschleife.
Having driven there with my 997 too I can say that it is much more thrilling with the 993. The 993 just belongs there!

^ looks like there was a yellow flag for the 997? spinout (I watched that part about 3x to get it)

Exhilarating Juha, thanks for sharing.

Great looking car and nice video..looks at home on the track. Which wing setup is that? Wonder if it would work on the rs clubsport wing..

Would love to hear more of the mods on this car

Looks like lot of slow traffic distractions--your overtaking speeds were impressive.

Awfully cool buddy, you know that car and track rather well! It would be fun to have such a facility here!

Everyone here I'm sure knows this but me. What's the deal with that shifter? Thanks for helping me not look foolish the next time I see it.

All newer German cars have that, when they brake maximum, the hazard lights go on also. It's actually brilliant, and the intention are to give a early warning on autobahn that you have to brake NOW.

All cars that have a top speed above 50km/h can drive on the Nürburgring, even seen a bus out on the track...

Betting on the shifter is this one (or similar): http://www.shop.cae-racing.de/index.php?a=158&lang=eng
