      I've built a lot of early Production Porsche engines , that is nothing that ever came in a 1960's Porsche.
      Sounds like an early 70's RSR or maybe a SC engine that's been stepped on .

    Owning an early 911, I can relate to how he has to play the wheel so much. Even in normal driving at highway speeds on twisty roads, you constantly have to steer the car to place it correctly, and keep it pointing the right way.
    The driver here appears to be a master of it, at any speed!

    The driver is a friend of mine 'Pascal Pandelaar' from the Netherlands, not Roman Caresani...he's only the owner of the car. Pascal is not racing for his profession, but he should be! The car is preparated by DUEL MOTORSPORT by Ed Poland, he's a magician in building classic racecars!

      @Southern Fun Its a joke. In Fast and the Furious they say that the main character is "Granny shifting, not double clutching like he should" after he loses a race and almost crashes his car.

    • @treatb09
      @treatb09 4 роки тому

      one thing i've never understood about double clutching is that you are doubling up your neutral drive. i'm not experienced in these old cars, and have really only taught myself. but you clutch to take out of gear, unclutch at stick in neutral, rev match, then clutch to put in your gear. i've always mis matched my clutch to throttle, so that i catch my throttle right as i'm letting off, just enough to rev, and downshift. its the quickest way to down shift, but it hurts clutches, and i don't really know how it would impact these older cars. i'm sure it'd ruin them. but i'm quick to say the least...either way, you never see someone dancing in their 911 around turns. it takes great skill.

    @sandyman8791 6 років тому +2

    I've raced a '67 911 at Silverstone and Snetterton and can attest to the 'always sideways' motion of the car as seen in Caresani's driving. Just a dab of brake and the rear steps out, but oh so easy to catch and steer thereafter on the throttle through the corners. Trick is to get the car to rotate into the corner but I ran out of skill before managing that! Wonderful cars to drive and eminently 'checkable'. Just try and forget the car's value when turning in!

    • @davedarling4316
      @davedarling4316 Рік тому +1

      I don't think that was 1st gear. Remember that old 911s have "dog-leg" gearboxes, where first gear is left and down. That was probably second gear (middle up) you were seeing.

    Notice how corrections are made without a full lift from throttle, and some even involve applying more. This is done to maintain and manage weight transfer, which is a most critical skill when driving a rear engined car. This man's technique is how a classic 911 is driven for maximum performance. Drifting is required.
