Great 917 video

Not from back then, but he wasn't pussy-footin' it around the track either. The Mulsanne sure is long!

Enjoy! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banana.gif

Pretty sure that's the Derek Bell lap in a 956. Not positive though... Anyone?

We should save this one! That's what 200+mph looks like. The next time someone posts their high speed video we will have something to compare it to.

It is definately Derek bell in a Rothmans Porsche 956
doing 246 mph no less....

Very impressive!
Johan, 246 mph?? Looked and felt more like 243 mph. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
What was even more impressive was when he took his left hand of the steering wheel to take a drink at 48 seconds and then again at 131 seconds to put his bottle of water back in its cup holder! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Oh yeah - never even thought that it could have been labelled wrong. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bash.gif

When I first saw it, I was actually looking at the front wheel arcs and trying to notice the "roundness" of the 917 and also in the back of my mind was trying to accept the red band across the top of the windshield... I wonder if the older 917 sounded the same too...

Good call! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Paolo,

That is a 917 cockpit with a modified dash.Probably a Gulf car but dash not original layout.

Greg I thought closer to 243.0578 MPH. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif
I loved that pass just before the chicane. Terrific stuff thanks for posting.
