I really enjoy the sound of the transmission when he's approaching top speed. You can't beat the sound of the turbos either! Ah, the whole damn thing sounds good

I really miss driving, I've been working in Shanghai for five months straight without returning to US and I haven't driven my 21 year old Porsche for five months, I need my fix of something that has something more kick than a Volkwagon Santana!

Thanks for the vid, it's an oldie and goodie.

I bought the 2006 Le Mans book the other day, and checking the top speeds in the Hunaudieres straight, they rarely went faster than 320kmh... kinda sad compared with the pre-chicanes era!
LMP1, LMP2 < Group C, and Group C2 (top speed was before the ground effect high d/f Group c cars existed... but towared the end, the Porsches were hitting 244 mph nealry back to the 250 mark set in the 70's.

This clip looked very much like it was from the 'in-car 956' video I have, where they follow Derek Bell's season, back when he had Jacky Ickx as his team mate. In other words, isn't a 956 (i.e. predecessor to 962)?
