Porsche 356 vs. RS61 Spyder Thunderhill Race

[jockellis]

Having owned a T5 Roadster that was a great slalom car and would do four-wheel drifts at low speed, I really enjoyed this. I always wondered if it would drift at high speed. Never had the courage to find out.

I'm buying me a 356 if I win the lottery.

how fast were you going 50-110S?

Pretty good guess! I'm driving the RS61 and we show in the gearing down to 35mph a the top of the hill and 118mph end of the straight. The cars are pretty evenly matched here not so close at Sears Point the RS being faster there. Tom Claridge RS61 #88

nice vid, wonderful cars - but be honest, the rs spyder is faster than your 356 ;)

[touchyu2]

The cars are really closely matched with the RS being a bit lighter but not as much power. Here at T-hill very close but the RS much stronger at Sears Point or Laguna. I'm in the RS61 #88. Tom Claridge

Nice video. Engine sounds would have been best but James Gang was very nice.

Thanks for the comments. My microphone wasn't working that day so I didn't have any audio, thus I added the music. I have a new recorder now and will post additional videos from races soon.

Thunderhill is 90 miles north of Sacramento, CA

Beautiful footage, too bad it was ruined with the sound track. The sounds of the Porsche engines would be the music of choice for 99.9% of the interested viewers.

I agree!

An aircooled engine roaring would have been so much better.
