Exactly.. this is not a race. This record is all about which car is the fastest, not about who's the best driver. I even think it's an advantage if a car is faster with TC, because that proves that the system does its job, which can be another selling point for the car.

BTW jakaracman, tell me which record you do count as being "legal" in your book.. Because as far as I know, virtually all recent Ring records were done with either TC, ABS or even both switched on. So that "true record" list of yours won't be very long I'm afraid..

ABS doesnt bother me ...Any half good sports/race driver can live with or without - its basicaly the same for driver. ESP is another thing altogether ...

Radicas, Donkervoorts, Mr CSL, all SportAuto laps, 997 GT" (Rohrl) and so on and so on are done with ESP off or the car doesnt have ESP. So ...

These videos are so nice. The atmosphere is fantastic and the car super cool.

BTW: the driver is indeed Marc Basseng, who usually drives the Land Motorsport Porsche (RSR)


Cheers
