That was pretty incredible, particularly the 360 recovery. The satisfaction of driving well engineered fast cars has no language barriers.

What was that? Danish? Swedish? Something close to Norwegian... Anyways... I take it he's an experienced race car driver! That was great video, especially the 360s. I was surprised also at how fast he could take those turns. Impressive car!!! thanks for sharing Rong! :thumbsup

Yes, the car will not pull 200 MPH in 6th gear. Top speed is acheived in 5th gear unless you are going down a steep hill. :biggrin

I think that was Kenny Brack. He has raced and won in both the IRL & Champ Car. Few years back he won Indy. He is a Swede. Many thought he would go F-1, had some tests, but has not. A wonderfull driver.
Great video, Thanks!

I was born there, Upsala .... So Chris, take our little recent testdrive into perspectve, Swedes are all crazy ! Next time we do such a 360 recovery together, impoertant to work the clutch, otherwise the car stalls... and important, to go to Homestead, not just FtLaud streetnet for that ! (We did this with M3's in Monza... big fun .. :wink )
heya, heya, svenska! :banana

Chip,

Actually the GT will do 210 MPH in 6th gear, it would just take a long time to get there!

Yes that was brack

Yes that was brack Talking with Scott Alhamnd. Scott and I worked with Rahal racing before we went to SVT.

I knew they did some film work for Kennys home land. But had not seen it.

Very cool power slides

BTW

All the driving shots were done at Ford's proving ground in Romeo Mi.

I hear this was the fastset lap ever on the Romeo 5 mile oval. As the Ford test drivers feel the surface is too bumpy to go that fast.

Nice video.

Rob, having driven behind you in France, I don't think you have too much to worry about!
