They're both AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

What they've got in common is;

THEY ARE THE BEST IN-CAR VIDEOS EVER FILMED!!!

'Faszination On The Nurburgring' is all about the fastest car in world (RUF CTR Yellowbird back in '90) driven awesomely sideways all the way around the 22.8km/15 mile 170 corner+ 'Nordschliefe'...the most challenging race circuit in the world.

Note: The driver's name is Stefan Roser - RUF test driver...apparently the story goes that he lives several hundred km's away from the RUF factory which he drives to every morning...in LESS than an hour!


'Climb Dance' is THE BEST RALLY VIDEO I'VE EVER SEEN!!!

It features a Peugeot 405 T16 Rally Car driven by Ari Vatanen going flat chat up the 4500m Pike Peak hillclimb in Colorado USA back in 1989. (cliff face on one side, sheer drop off the other! )

Well Brett,

guess you wondered where to DL the Climbdance vid
This
http://www.sportpug.com/galleria/videot/climbdance.mpg
is a one I found while googling around a bit.
Now it is up to you to find the Walter Rohl / Audi Quattro S1 Pikes Peak vid (long version) and the Ari Vatanen / Peugeot 205T16 vid from the Pikes Peak hill climb competition of the previous year

in this case the RUF vids as located on the green-flag website are more or les similar in size to what we have in the video vault so all the newbies are lucky :fadein:

There's also a video out there of a complete onboard run up Pikes Peak. It it said to be some kind of Porsche. That's a marvellous video as well. I'll upload it to the VV as it appears not to be there already.

I just watched that climb dance video and that is one sweet video, thanks for the link. It's amazing how close his back wheels come to going over the edge a few times.

most definately the best car videos in existance... i think especially because no tricks adorned the videos. various movies have had good scenes n such, but have special effects to complete the manuvers. these have no tricks, totally 1337 driving skills for the rest of the noob world to drool over .
