Faszination

[pianoshizzle]

that's probably the most bravest drifting I've ever seen ever - and he isn't Asian!

[gripracer]

you can both HEAR and SEE the huge turbo lag and then boost! amazing.

[cgaurd52]

This became a movie challenge on Driver: San Francisco.

[edviges1]

@cgaurd52

[DanzoVisions]

Looks like some VHS ballers back in the day, getting a chopper and all those camera's mounted, good job.

[MihalyEduardo]

videó egy olyan nemzetékről, ahol csak férfiak vannak = faszi nation

[featheredmusic]

No shoes??

[lyndonlongden]

apparently... Stefan Roser beat Chuck Norris in an arm wrestle.......while holding his pint ! didn't spill a drop.

[TheNoztrum]

A car just for pros ... but ... perfect Track , perfect driver , perfect car !

"This is madness" !!!!!!

[seppel412]

stefan is just a wonder and so an awesome driver, super high skilled to handle especially this car, well tricky is a fine word, for the drivability on that engine with wheels;) and hey "smarios5" thanks for the great laugh with thatmalboro-joke hahaha;)

[breathingsince]

That is a RIDICULOUS piece of driving. Utterly, utterly awesome. My jaw is on the floor...

[smarios5]

Listen my friends, Stefan doesn't wear silly little gloves or fancy headgear; how else would he light up his Marlboro on the last straight.........enjoy !!!

[tommygola]

Yeah I reas that article to alancsalt, it was a cracka. Great car!

[alancsalt]

8:25 according to "Thoroughbred & Classic Cars"

[chuckbiscuito]

@alancsalt 8:25 and two sets of tyres

[lt1eg6]

Godlike driving. This is utterly incredible. It's like hes a part of the car. and communicates with it telepathically.

[TheRipePunani]

@lt1eg6 Seriously. He must have balls forged from Unobtainium.

[YiMMA2k5]

This clip never gets old. simply the best built ruf of its time. STILL QUICK TODAY!

[426gtr]

sorry everybody , what nurburingring time this ruf ctr ,sir

[EiloRytyj]

@426gtr pretty sure it was a time of 8:05

[TristPerrin]

Jeans and t-shirt, no helmet, new lap record (at the time) all done in the classic 911/ctr that oversteered like a sledghammer! Stefan Roser is a driving god!

[911rainmeister]

I first saw this video around 1990, when I was at the Porsche Club of America Tech Session in Oklahoma City, Ok. Louis Ruf was there, and I remember him saying that Stefan would get bugs on the doors (obviously referring to him driving with the tale so far out). He also mentioned that he would go trough a set of rear tires in 2 laps around the Ring. Of course I had to buy a copy of the tape before I left and form time to time I still watch it.

[07tbest]

ruf ctr "yellowbird" aside from the rims it looks like a plain-jane 911, but the reality is:

0-60:  3.65sec

0-100: 7sec

top speed : 211+mph

to this day it is the fastest 911 ever built...

[911rainmeister]

Ruf manufactures 30% of the parts used making it the manufacturer not a Porsche aftermarket tuner. Therefore it is not technically a 911 but a CTR.

[07tbest]

technically you can put a horn on a horse but that doesn't make it a unicorn

[actionjackson9000]

not to suggest that Stephan Roser is not extreemly skilled, but woulden't a smoother driving approach gain a faster lap time?

i guess he was just trying to show off the agility of the car

[metroscootin]

Exactly. It was always designed as a promotional video. He wasn't trying to set a fast time - he was trying to get people all excited about the Ruf CTR...

[KONTRAone]

when you're driving at the very limit, "smooth" goes out the window. and i know drifting technically slows you down, but when you factor in line dynamics it sort of changes things..

[GR9150]

Stefan Roser "or Yellowbird" became very famous from the video that you see "Faszination". He was close friend with Alois Ruf who was calling him "Sideways Stefan" due to his great driving style...

[EJRocky]

Not to sound stupid, but... who IS Stefan Roser? I can't find any other YouTube videos of him, and nothing on Google or Wikipedia...

[boinkboink444]

thats cool

[EA11RDrift]

Lovely. I even almost traced the track map the whole way through! More Playstation for me...

[ProjectMusa]

lol... yeah keep going... i know the track... on gt4 only... :-P... i love how stefan throttle steers the tighter corners... brilliant car control. stefan = god... me=quivering boy...

[mauricera]

Hi FI

[Huib1992]

Very nice. But wouldn't Walder have done it just as good?

[Faded92MX5]

Great classic video. Looking back, it never seemed odd to me before that he wasn't wearing even a helmet. Thats nuts.

[reddy2die]

LOL, and penny loafers! =0

best driver ever though. set record at nuremburg that was not beat by open wheel car fo a LONG time. People don't realize that the drifting he is doing is not for looks, but actually to "push" him through the track faster. It's a massively powered rear-engine thing.

I've spent a good amount of time behind the same car with the same power, and I'm a good Porshe 930 turbo driver, and I've got to tell you, this guy is AWESOME.

[nunosoar]

It's true... He is only drifting to kill some of the understeer that the car might have entering the corner... Thus is always killing the drift by small corrections at the wheel, he only needs a sorten amount of oversteer! This lap is insanely fast ....

[BrianZuk]

Great video!

[roser12]

stefan roser is the best

[FlamerK6]

it would be great to see him racing against sabine schmidt that would be great action

[vlepovideotora]

The best Nurburging video I have ever seen!!

[sedessu]

wow.. hi-speed traversing !!

[Boxtacular117]

Nice driving!

[yellow6ird]

anyone who's interested in watching the full 21mins version of the videos could go n serach in googles video

[StonedTr00per]

This is the RUF 911 Porsche (Yellow Bird) driven bij Ruf Test driver Stefan Roser

His response to the fact that this aint the fastest way around the nordscleife was that "you don't always have sex to make baby's" 8(=)

[StonedTr00per]

You are right coldspoon, x4u2nvx is a wannabee i gues

This is the RUF 911 CTR Porsche (Yellow Bird) driven bij Ruf Test driver (forgot his name)

His response to the fact that this aint the fastest way around the nordscleife was that "you don't always have sex to make baby's" 8(=)

[Dante1969]

Certainly the best video!!!

Gentelman driver as it was in the past.

Beautyful nurburgring but heartache for non wearing helmet

[coldspoon]

I was under the impression the guy driving was in fact Stefan Roser...in fact I'm 100% sure it is as this is the Faszination promo vid for the RUF CTR.

[x4u2nvx]

the person driving this car is actually John Kucab .. my autos teacher

[dadrajva]

Hahaha ... nice try. It's Stefan Roser ;)

[yellow6ird]

A perfect supercar in every sense, a rare black diamond in my eye, I love it. (guess whats my username name after? hahaha) btw superb driving.

[grahamhutch]

this is the sickest video \0/

[dadrajva]

Awesome!
