Nordschleife Super Attack Porsche 911 Turbo 964 / 965

[maplefreak64]

This video was recorded on "Best MOTORing VIDEO SPECIAL VOL.21" in 1991.

This video became proof and 964Turbo had the fastest lap of Nordschleife in the 1991 fiscal year authorized.

This time and Mr.Kurosawa were called the man who got to know all Nordschleifes most in the world as a test driver of the Bridgestonen tire.

Moreover, also in the past, he broke the official score.

1989 Nissan Skyline R32GTR 8:22.fastestlap

1990 Honda NSX 8:16. fastestlap

1991 Porsche 964 Turbo 8:08.fastestlap

[svdpsy]

BLACK BIRD JUST SMOKED YOU BRO!!!!!

[superbike011]

Best Motoring cast cant challenge him event in the sprint race...his nick names known as dangerous old man

[ruditsz]

What a car!! What a driver...

[instirahul]

fckin awesome,the cockpit view really shows the reality of driving in a track.

[onewaygroup]

Great Driver, very cool video.

[jnr1989]

the funny thing is, i have seen a lot of guys talking crap about gan san cant drive..stupid noobs...

[palukas80]

honda nsx time attack 7 mins 56 sec........japanese power

[christosswc]

You can tell the car had turbo lag by the way he choses to always keep the car in a lower gear with higher revs.

He uses second gear a lot where in a more modern turbo he'd use the torque to pull him out of the corners.

A Jap driving a German in the Ring, wow, great car and driver.

Somehow today with all the GTR vs GT2 RS vs ZO6 etc you don't see that happening.

[nucleartactician]

Damn he reached 290kmh at near the last corner.

[famsis]

Age 70 . He is most fastest driver in Japan racing history.

[oistein74]

yea... I can't do that....

[majom89]

I wish I could say that I have just the same Porsche, like the others did here, but nooo :( I don't even have a Porsche. Maybe one day... But dreams never come true. pfff (I think I'm jealous now)

btw the driver was really talented, and that 8:08 was stunning. Nice vid!

[2Gtrevo]

Please tell me how you get this best motoring video?... or what episode is it?? PLEASE i really need this...

[maplefreak64]

@2Gtrevo

This video was recorded on "Best MOTORing VIDEO SPECIAL VOL.21" in 1991.

It is the episode which measures the lap time of Porsche964turbo released newly by this time.

The lap time of SkylineGTR in 1989 and HondaNSX in 1990 is also recorded.

We recommend you to ask stock by the homepage of Best MOTORing.

[woodpeckernz]

Absolutely incredible driving. Drifting in a 2WD turbo 911... Legend.

[Mt7juans]

Wow, what a great driver. He makes driving look so easy.

[paganlaw]

I definitely have to join my colleagues, this is a master, no super siliding, pure harmony, fast driving transformed into art. Some guys have this gift. I own a 964 Turbo 1992 modified by Ruf, to 3.6 and it is wild, but I love it.

[MarMPB]

Porsche must give it's new GT2 to this driver for a record run!!

[sinbaadi]

The way he goes through the fast corners with very little positive steering angle - that's a drift, not all this powersliding crap.

[boyimell]

fantastic*****

[svdpsy]

That was some beautiful driving. The balance of throttle, steering angle and speed was perfect. Man, machine and track are one, pure meditation.

[lfstweak420]

This is what I call a real driver's machine, requiring lots of skills from their driver to actually get the true potential out of the car. Porsches own.

[Jamirofan89]

decades of knowledge!skillz!!!

[HashiriyaGDB]

Is this a 3.3 or a 3.6?

[lfstweak420]

Very likely 3.6

[VTEC86s]

awesome shit!

[mrgingles]

gan san have balls of steal

these old porsches are hard as hell to drive fast, even in nurburgring, is a "ready to kill" machine, require a lot of skill

5 star

[mccormack89]

nice to see a proper manual on the track. and this man has some pair of balls doin that in a 964!

[GtrEvo]

@mccormack89 did you see a "this man" on best motoring battles? is really agressive old man.. he have 70yrs old... GAN SAN!

[Rockit181]

I bet with modern tires it would have no trouble getting well into the 7 min range

[irishash85]

lmao no way man

[Rockit181]

you really think that switching from OLD SCHOOL street tires to modern R-Comps wouldn't buy you a 9+ second improvement? (he ran an 8:08). The driver also made a couple mistakes in this run.

[irishash85]

lol no, i just accidently combined your post with the guy below post and read "a sub 7 minute time". sorry my mistake

[m0set]

Nice driving, but a little fixes here and there and a sub 8 is very plausible

[Bmants]

Very nice

[Hateclaw]

hmm drifting costs a lot of time...

and an 8.08 isn't a great time with a porsche

i took 13.30 with my 50hp vw polo

and the record is about 6.26min... done by a porsche last year

but i've to say, he's a really really god driver, even drifting on this track is only sport for masters

[kensai69]

For a 964 turbo, 8:08 is a very good time.

[GtrEvo]

maybe can do better time , look 7:04 he hits the brakes , fixing something some machines.. maybe can do 8:05 / 04

[Obcene]

very nice and clean drive.

[PorscheGTthree]

Brave, brave man to do that in an older 911! The 964 will bite back!

[Jamirofan89]

Every car Gan San gets in he masters it!

[yuyueyuyue]

he's really using the gas padel to turn the car around corners instead of steerwheel. what a master....

[BruceCarbon]

yeah!!!

[GtrEvo]

Motoharu Kurosawa " Gan-San" ... Pushing to the limits the 911 Turbo 964..!!!

Great Video! Brutal Driving Skills!!

Brutal Aircooled Engine!! Porsche forever

[pabauza]

Gan San the man

[veyronzondaf]

Bad Ass Drive, Bad Ass circuit!

Great Footage!..

[sidewayssam]

tj930,your not wrong!i have been out with stefan roser round the ring..and he was amazing...goin to download it on here when i get the time!great driving...and controls its superbly..certainley banzai...

[Tj930]

Hehe.. You're a lucky guy - can't wait to see your video!

The only (minor) criticism I can have of Stefan in his RUF Yellowbird video was his 1987-dress-sense; otherwise, he's a total hero! ;o)

[sidewayssam]

keep meaning to do it,but its still on video,and i need to transfer it..there was an article in december 1996 in performance car magazine with me in it..hes a very cool guy...turned up in a jag xj at the ring,i asked him did he do the ring a lot,he said oh yes!at least once a year!lol,i asked had he raced,he said yes ,in group c,but ...he was'nt quick enough!!!!!and enjoyed going sideways to much...i also asked what did his wife make of his driving,he said she hates it,but my son loves it..star.

[jlgroovetek]

GAN-SAN! mad driving!!! absolutely awesome driving...

controls the oversteer perfectly... dives in with bit of oversteer, powers out with minimal oversteer, insanely good haha.

[Zaza36Titi23]

Superbe cette friandise... !!! lol

[alexvage]

Seguro que en una vuelta limpia con neumaticos actuales se puede bajar de los 8 min con este porsche de hace 15 años

[Hipermoha]

Una vez mas, brillante actuación de Gan-San. Con qué naturalidad y suavidad resuelve los sobrevirajes sin por ello perder décimas.

[togenicia77]

bravino.........!!!!!

[S54CSL]

one of the sickest ring laps ever tbh. driving a 964 turbo on the limit like that.

Gan-san!

[roadbeef]

The engine got so hot on the run up Kesselchen... listen to it pinging away from 4:20 on until the Karussell...

[newshortkick]

On the final stetch, he commented "It's still slow... I guess it's a bit shy of (8 minutes) 10 seconds but..."

[Tj930]

Thanks for the translation.

Quality driving! (But bit too much high-speed, 'opposite-lock' for my liking - Motoharu obviously thinks he's Stefan Rosser! ;o)

[vansoth]

I agree he is definitely over driving it a bit, but you have to realize this is a completely stock 911 turbo from back when Porsches were "real driver's cars", that is they were always trying to kill you. Also I'm sure the stock suspension isn;t set up for a track as brutal as the nurburgring.

[Tj930]

Hehe.. The 964 turbo (1991-1994) was the last of the 2WD, single-turbocharger 911 turbos. But it did have coil-overs (rather than torsion-beam) suspension, 5-speed gearbox, hydraulic clutch, power-steering, ABS brakes and a nod towards ground-effect (with a smooth underside).

Quite sophisticated when compared to my GuardsRed Tree-seeking missile! ;o)

[virgule888]

yea it's an "happy tail" car :P

[airkettle]

best vid imho

[broditoro]

impresionante! buen piloto, fantástico coche y gran circuito.

[dennisgroskamp]

Fantastic car, very good driver and the best racetrack ever !

[plasun86]

INSANE!!!

[sebiunger]

fantastic driver, drives really hard at the limit

[GlobalAxess]

great 5*

[lfuntasmo]

excellent control ... great video!

thx for posting.

[993turbo]

This is the 3.3l turbo II. Very nice driving.

[RacingPhilNici]

He is an old but still fast driver from japan

Gansan Kurosawa

he drove a lot of recordlaps on the nordschleife (NSX,WRX,Skyline)

[nickkoylis]

awsome video and good driver.Who is he.

I guess he isn't Walter Rorhl though.

[raidermike72]

Amazing video. Thought he was going to break his wrists counter-steering into some of those corners. This is an amazingly skilled driver. The car speaks for itself. I have an '88 930. Never had her sideways like that. Looks like fun!! Don't worry, I'm not that stupid to think I'm that good.

[Huib1992]

Very good driver, but I think Walter could have done it just as good.

[malekai777]

awesome car Porsche is the best

[casefc3s]

Hey, it's Gan-san!! Awesome vid, thanks for sharing. :)

[ricciulino]

good car and good driver!

[irconic]

Motoharu Kurosawa...

[irconic]

he hates drifting but porsche makes him little drifting I love his serious driving style...

[RacingPhilNici]

Allein wie Kurosawa beim Schwedenkreuz fährt, das ist der helle Wahrsinn

[97NeonRT]

Wow this is the legendary Kurosawa driving. He is big in Best Motoring and F1 Japan driving. Definitely and excellent driver.

[dernes]

I don't think this car is standard, I'm sure I saw a falme out of the wastegate pipe at the start. You don't get that. And also the original suspension is not this steady, most of us upgrade. No doubt though, impressive car, and even more impressive driver!

[funkyspaceinvader]

wow, I am stunned! Just bought the same car almost. Mine is a 1993 Turbo S with 355HP and the sports exhaust. Yours too, right evojoerocks? I will post videos soon. Wicked car. I wish I could ever drive it that fast. Great driver... Amazing skills!

[evojoerocks]

Hy, Yeah I have a 1992 3,3 Turbo bone stock with 320hp, like to drive it very much. But I am not blessed with such amazing driving skills like this japanese guy. Congrats on your Turbo S, let me know when you have some videos of it. Cheers

[orsting]

Is this an original 320HP 964 Turbo? In any case, very impressive!

[evojoerocks]

Yes the car is bone-stock with Yokohama tires

[Homejengeneering]

That has to be the most satisfying car to drive around the 'Ring ;)

[Euphorica]

964 ftw

[dudeisnotcoolio]

Damn,his sacks must be frickin the size of basket balls. Each. Props to this guy.

[911KTMMVAgustafreek]

Way impressive! Now thats a driver in the ultimate driving machine, & who needs all those sissy driving aids, PSM/ESP or even AWD! "A Real driver, doing it the Right way, in the realest place in the world"

[evojoerocks]

You have to give this guy credit. He does a 8:08min turn on the Nordschleife with a 15 year old car. No PSM, no ESP, no 4WD. This needs some serious balls. And there is even construction work going on, he could have been faster.

[RaverRozza]

the commitment and bravery it must take to drive the nordschleife hard must be unbelievable. probably need to be a bit stupid too!lol!
