Video - 964 Win at Thruxton 2011 - it's wet

[RLambert]

Here is my in car video from the win at Thruxton in June.

Youtube only allows 15 minutes so I had to edit out some 'dull' laps in the middle.

I was expecting the 968's to do well in the wet as they are better balanced than the 911s but they were rubbish!

13'30"........ooops!

Well driven in appalling conditions - no chance of a dry line in that one.....

Fantastic looks great fun in those conditions

13'30"........ooops!

There's a thud you can hear in the audio at that point! - any damage?
Awesome.

 

[RLambert]

No, no damage just a tyre mark on the paintwork. When you are racing and there is contact it nearly always sounds much worse than it is, you think the side of the car is hanging off but usually its just a scratch.

It's a shame I didn't include the steering wheel in the shot as you'd have been able to see the amount of steering input I was having to make just to keep the car straight.

Nice one Richard. What was the conversation with Mark Sumpter in the paddock after the race like?!

 

[RLambert]

I did give him some room so he was fine about it, especially as he was able to recover to take 2nd. He did admit he should have backed off a bit to make the corner but then that wouldn't be racing !

 

[911kev]

Great racing Rich in those conditions. Certainly a lot less spray when you're leading

 

[wagonface]

The rear camera shot of him spinning off into the distance is awesome - like he's in space, flung out into the void!

And by 13.32 it was to late the tail thought it would have a go.

Loverly video.

I rearly love the 964.
