Porsche 911GT3 racing at Brands Hatch

A bit of in-car footage from the 911virgin.com GT3 cup car whilst racing at Brands Hatch.

The race was on the Grand Prix circuit and was interrupted by a couple of safety car sessions when a Dodge Viper hit the wall coming out of Surtees and a Lamorghini met a similar fate later in the same place. Both drivers walked away unharmed.

No trees or small fluffy animals were harmed in the making of this video !!

Thanks to everyone at http://www.cctv42.co.uk for the help they gave making this video. Check them out if you need some CCTV.

Many thanks for all the kind comments. I'm not a games console player so when I fall off it bloody hurts :-)

This was filmed during a round of the GT Cuin which is a multi marque series. Being an older model 996 cup car my car is a Class 2. The 997 model GT3 is in class 1. We shared some meetings (and quite a few beers) with the Dutch Supercar boys in the past both here in the UK and also Belgium.

Keep smiling everyone. Henry

@HenryGT3 - you are really aggressive and soo fast ! You are catching them all like you are GT1 car :x . Best wishes !

[HenryGT3]

@porschemaniak Thanks for that. You're starting to embarrass me !! Keep smiling.

Yes, standard H pattern gearbox. Ultimately not quite as quick as sequential but supremely reliable and you can often drive round a problem, (I once ran the last third of a race there in 4th gear!!

Thanks for the kind words. Henry

[HenryGT3]

Once again many thanks for the kind words, much appreciated. Henry

Some fantastic racing there, couple of brilliant overtaking. Quite a few times you seemed to lift off coming out of bends, couldn't work out why?

Wow I stumbled onto this channel by mistake and found this insane video. Your speeds are out of this world and you were so close I was getting nervous but you have some real driving skills. You were so close to the Ferrari I thought you would pass it before the video ended. Great racing.
