Great video of a classic on a great track. This car had a top speed of something like 210 mph back in the day, which I can't imagine trying to get to - I don't think the steering wheel was held steady in the entire video.

Dang, that looks cra-a-azy!

Funny, The low quality video doesn't saturate out the background. I think that's the first "ring video I have seen that makes the dramatic elevation changes readily apparent.

That's cool man, but not as fast as a GTR with stickers and underbody neon. Did you know a Whatsisnamer tuned GTR ran the same track in like, 3 minutes? All while the driver was polishing her nails and drinking a latte. GTR. GTR. MODDED GTR!!!!!! RAWR!!!!

Alright. Now that that's out of the way, nice video. I think if I was a passenger, it'd be the most fun way ever to sh*t your pants.

Come on man, the only cars still rocking underbody neon are JDM DB8 integras.

Great video, nice find. I wonder how many lap(s) a set of tires lasts.

lol... or how many laps a driver lasts before he crashes and kills himself. You'd have to be almost suicidal to try and push that car to its limits at such high speeds.
