We were debating whether or not a car can keep up with the BMW 1000RR & Suzuki GSXR 1000
For all the crybabies regarding cutting corners: If you know the route, you will know there are huge sections where you can look ahead and see if there are any oncoming traffic and if you go rally early in the morning, you lessen the chances of other traffic being on the road immensely.
How to get held up by fast cars being driven just too slow on the Touge.
Out on one of my regular early Sunday morning drives and I happen to come across this little gang of Italian sports cars and the little German Rocco was not going to be held up.
O, I was murdering the turbo, I know, only recently moved up from n/a and didn't really know how to look after the turbo...
It ended up they were doing the same route as me and we eventually ended up having a nice chat just before breakfast ;-)
Lock down gives you a lot of time to find the old vids and see what stupid stuff people can do. Found this in the archives. A Nissan 350Z came to join us on a drive way back in 2017 - The passing maneuvers do not sit well with me. (Sorry bad quality of camera footage, phones back in the day sucked)
Fun starts at 01:25
After driving FWD all my life and only having the Z two months and obviously still getting used to the RWD, I has pleasantly surprised I could keep up, as I've been waiting for years to find a Porsche driver that actually drives his car they way it was designed for.
Most times if you find a Porsche driver on the Touge they just look at the scenery, but today was different. Pleasantly different. Faith in the South African Porsche drivers is now restored.
What helps is if you know the route a little better, you know where to look ahead so that you can cut some of the right handers going up the hill, as that Porsche has twice the amount of rubber on the road and lets not talk about the power advantage. At least I had the upper hand on the downhill. Hopefully we will meet again after I get used to the Z.
