Watch a BMW M3 GTR go full throttle

Ever wanted a ride in a BMW M3?
Around Nurburging?
With Hans Stuck driving?
Pretty wild. Was trying to figure out how the slap shifter worked,
but eventually figured out the driver inset view was out of sync
by a second or more with the sound. The flash encoder was pretty
badly overloaded by the rapid scenery movement, so it messed up
the speed sensation. It seemed like he really wasn't going that
fast, not much over 120 MPH, but that may have been due to the
tiny viewing window and the flash encoding. Esecially when there
was an overhead sign or a sign truss, the view got jerky.

It sounded like the microphone was bolted to the gearbox - what
a lot of gear noise!

Thanks for the posting - are there any more like this around?
