lol that was about a 7'15 lap even while slicing through the hoards of traffic, and several drivers with delusions of grandeur haha. Great vid, thanks.

Damn nice vid....if only the F1 cars can take the same turn and go into the old ring. :mrgreen:

Stan: I know what you mean, that car probably thinks he's so fast he don't need to look into the mirror or something.

Big Thanks for the vid man, it is top. It's very cool to see Uwe Alzen lapping the ring in his self-prepared Porca GT3.

Further on; I don't want to spoil the fun, but I don't think it's correct to say that this is a new GT3 RS. The reason I say this is, cause I have had a chat with one of his mechanics earlier on. I asked the guy what the standard car was, were this car is based on. I directly asked him whether it was a GT3 and he replied immediately with a "No".
This car is far from a factory porsche. The nose of the car is GT3 ... and that's about it 8) The rest is self made, I couldn't believe my ears and asked him for more information.
So, the front of the car is GT3 just where the doors begin :) The rest of the body and chassis/frame is done by Alzen Motorsport, there are a few parts which are factory parts, but these have been improved and adapted to fit the car.
Alzen Motorsport = super fast and extreme Porsche cars, just think about the Bi-Turbo allrad Porsche of last year :shock: :shock: :shock: It was insane, they had to turn the project down because it was too dangerous, there are no tyres that can handle so much power (due to the allrad-system).

So, This car deserves the RS-badge for sure :) But I won't go that far to call it that. It's not just a tuned or improved factory GT3 RS.
To my mind it just isn't "factory" enough :-)

BTW: Note how fast he gets annoyed by slower cars :-) :-) I have one of his dvd's and every now and then he gets seriously pissed of :-)

Cheers

Awesome. Thanks for the personal insight. If you're able to hunt down more footage of this monster, do share!

You're welcome man,

I had the luck to talk to one of the team's mechanics because the car was broken down. The front suspension was completely broken and they came to pick the car up, they towed it right back to the pits (with a 2.0l TDI VW Transporter) :-)


Here's a pic of the car, so you can check it out once again, happy drooling man !!! ;-)

Wow...are they running a staggered wheel set up on that thing? 18" fronts and 19" rear wheels?

That I don't know man, sorry.

But I think the estimation you make towards the rim size is realistic. That's the downside of taking pannings, you can't read the size of the rims/tyre when you zoom in on the image :) :?
