merlot Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 I thought I'd share some videos in a thread I was reading over at Nasioc, which is an Subaru Impreza owners/enthusiast site. A fellow by the name of John Felstead from Machester, England regularly visits and laps the Nurburgring in his Subaru Impreza WRX STi Type RA (that's a mountful). The thread is about 25+ pages, but scattered about are links to his 80mb in-car videos. I thought some here (especially Sam P) would find these interesting. The guy definitely has skill. Although it doesn't look like it, he hits speeds upwards of 160 mph! An interesting qoute from him: The ring is a public road, not a closed race track, so you have the same traffic laws aplying as a normal road in Germany, i.e. you should pass on the left and it is the person you are passings responsibility to move right and indicate! I love driving in Germany!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainl Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Without sitting through an 80Mb video, what's his laptime like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say by the end of the that long thread, he was turning in 8:20's. Not 100% sure, I'll check later. The first video is in the higher 8's though.

iainl Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Nice, not bad at all. I've no idea what I'd get in one of them on PGR2, but whatever it is, you can guarantee I wouldn't go that fast on the real thing - wallrinding the odd mistake isn't an option...
