Nordschleife Porsche 944 Turbo  

it's the certified UPS drivers instructional video

Proves how well developed and sorted the 944 was. Back in the 80's it was often scoffed at and not even considered a "real Porsche" by the 911 die-hards. "Too civilized", "too technical" and "too modest" were common complaints. Nonsense, the car was just ahead of its time. Took way into the mid 1990's until other manufacturers produced practical supercars with accessible performance for their owners. This middle-aged bird (the car) still has got it. Merely a few seconds slower than V12 engined supercars in 2006 on the same track.

Mans out here making the 944 do things none of us knew were possible...

you've got balls.

I think he's done this a few times.

Fellow 951 owner here. I want you to know anytime I see someone downtalking the 944 series on the web I share this video to their thread. You can't argue with it. I've seen faster times but none that look as exhilarating. They really are fun cars.

Passed that wide body 911 like it was nothing!

this is the 944 equivalent of the yellowbird video...great stuff!

This car handles exceptionally well loking forward to purchasing my first porsche . 944 in 2024 🎉❤

I’ve had more performance cars than I can remember over the last 36 years, and the one I always miss the most was that 944 turbo and it’s understated capabilities. Amazing balance.

Incredible driving!

now I want an 944.

An 8:06 would place it at #178 on the Nurburgring records today. 🤘🏻

I have watched this at least ten times. Fantastic driving. I love the 951's

Awesome video and great driving! I love seeing a 951 being taken to it's limits!

I developed and campaigned a 944T in the SCCA for 7 seasons, running ITE, SPM and PCA2. The car always got me on the podium in ITE, and because of its reliability, also got me there in the other classes as well. 375 HP at 16lbs off boost, adjustable on the fly to 21 lbs. 2700 pound car, and by far the most neutral and forgiving handling of any car I owned or drove at the track. Nice drive of the 'Ring!

Absolutely heroic. Well played. I am restoring a 944 NA at the moment.. hope i can throw it around like this every now and again. I'm sure those 911 drivers didn't know what had hit them :)

Very well done, impressive driving. I drove the ring last summer in my 968 and seeing this just makes me want to go back and try harder.

Man, your're my hero. This is the car I most love of Porsche.

that old school rev limiter at 3:16 .... gave me shivers

A man on a mission! Good stuff!

You are very impressive. You clearly know your cars limits very well, i enjoyed watching this.

The best in car 944 driving I've seen! Balls of steel and skills to match.

I love in the description " I have learned the track at Playstation gt5"

Awesome video, the 944 t is very underrated. A maf conversion and a gt 35r turbo will convert the car into a 450 whp beast. Just add suspension, rubber and a competent driver. Will keep up too today's best. I've owned 3 of them in all stages of tune and speak from experience.

Fantastic driving! I used to have a 944 Turbo S and appreciate what it would take to drive like that and to get that incredible time!

So jealous. I feel like I know this track just based on the number of times I’ve been around it on various video games. This is the Holy Grail.

Absolutely incredible drive my man…. Holy shit.. bravo dude your experience shows I about shit my pants and your focus and responsiveness to the car while clearly pushing this machine to its limits and then controlling that was truly inspiring to watch.

An incredibly precise and forgiving car to drive fast.

This video never gets old.

awesome driving.

Man that’s some impressive driving! Love the 944 turbo!👌🥰👍

Racing like that without a cage or 5point belt is bold. I respect it

Used to watch the Sideways Stefan in the Yellowbird back in the 90s... this brought back so many memories... love how you can play with understeer and oversteer in the same corner with these things. 😉

I just returned from the Nordshleife and ran my 944s. After seven turns my best was a 9:25 You drove the wheels off that car! Nice...

Bravo....and thank you.I've good time to watching your vids,you're a good pilot.

I'm impressed, I knew the 944 was no slouch in the handling dept, but damn.

I'm a firm believer in training on the game consuls. My cousin was really fast in gran turismo....never been to the track. The first time I took him he yelled out the lines and I had the best times I've ever had before. I immediately went out and bought an Xbox to train on.

The man has skills and a job well done !

this is one of the best videos on youtube.

Super smooth ! Beautiful driving

Hallo 944 turbo - ich liebe es Dir beim fahren zuzusehen. Die Transaxle Porsche sind so unglaublich gut in der Balance. So neutral im Grenzbreich und Du holst echt alles aus dem Auto. Klasse! Ich bin sowas von begeistert. Sorry - ich muss mir das nochmals komplett anschauen!

Best engine sound ever

I hope that turbo is still alive and you're still kicking ass with it! Fantastic driving!

You are flying! I love it. Much prefer the first camera position, though.

Fantastic driving! You are really pushing your machine and yourself to the limits! I love the slide at 2:29, well done! You will hit that sub 8:00 next time.

8:06 is awesome! Good driving, and the handling of the car sure helps too

THAT was simultaneously both exhilarating and harrowing!

Drive it like you stole it!!!!

good drive 👍, its nice to see the 944 in the green hell

wife calling? :) thats why he is so in hurry "gotta make it home in time " :). great lap!!

O yea you can drive you are "So in control even at the edges sliding wonderful to watch and what a magnifficent 944

Einfach grandios, wue Du den Wagen an seine Grenzen bringst. Du bist die personifizierte Fahrmaschine! Ich bin aufs nächste Video gespannt :-D Gute Fahrt weiterhin

Awesome laps. I'm glad its not just me that goes sideways in the fuchsrohr... and every turn after :)

My favorite is that he learned the track on GT5!! And people say video games are useless....

Great drive man, from an ex 944 S2 owner :-)

superb video, top car (one of the best ever made) and very talented drive,,, well-done sir...

great driving! thanks for sharing. makes me want to track mine!

No roll bar no helmet and driving the heck out of that car nice work but your fearless, insane even.

Always nice to see a spirited drive through the 'Ring. Sank countless hours of grinding the track on gran turismo just because the payout for placing 1st was pretty good, had me leaning into the corners there a bit lol

Ridiculous. He is absolutely shredding that thing and I love it

Not to shabby for a 29 year old car! I have been the lucky owner of a 1986 951 Turbo. AKA 944 turbo since 1988. I have tried many times through the years to try and explain the hard core racing machine that these cars are. They really are unbelievable. I can say for sure that I'm alive today because of this cars incredible handling and braking. Saved my ass many times. I have to say though, this guy drive his car past what I could have ever thought they where Capable of! Balls The Size of MELONS!! I I bow before you Sir!

So far my favorite and most shared video. I’m listening to the sound of the car, tires and leaking door sills to find calm myself down. No way I can get this out of my 2.7 944 automatic

Superb driving control.

AWESOME! People seem to forget that the 944 platform was tested at the crucible of Lemans after it's mundane beginnings. A properly tuned 944 is a track weapon. Think about this, out of a gigantic field of cars the 924 GTS race cars finished 12th overall at Lemans, not in their class, but overall against GT1, GT2, GT3, LMP, Prototypes! Astonishing. The 944 platform is criminally underated and that's now changing with their value beginning to rocket for well kept examples. About time! Respect!

Mad driving skills it makes me Wanna sit in the car and have a blast

Absolutely epic M r , MUCH respect

Respect !! You are a little bit mad, but that is cool !! Love the 944´s and this shows what they could do ! with the right driver :-)

this is amazing.. i want my 944 to be like yours.

Dude insane driving very well done

Excellent driving in a fantastically dialed in 951.

Man, this guys wife is going to be pissed when she finds out he’s been driving with her oven mitts.

That was fast. I love your driving style.

3:26 "Brapapapa"

very impressive. you know your car extremely well. i enjoyed watching this very much. awesome

That is some impressive driving.

Nice "attack" and driving style. :-) Good lap time for so few laps in real car.

Grouse driving. Thanks for the ride.👍🍻🎯🇦🇺

Great car and a Great Driver!

awesome. Driven on the edge I'd say!! Would love to do that in my 944T

Very Good Video!!! Loved it!

Sehr gut !! Schöne Fahrt und Fahrzeug!!✌️🙂and without Rollcage ... Respect for this Speed

This is the fastest Ive ever seen a 944 go...NOT BAD! But just looking at the handling of this car states you gotta be on your toes with it because of that short wheelbase....it loves to rotate very quickly....expert skill you got there.

Fantastic driving!

When the keychain,, gliding side ways.. LOL knocking them 911 out of the park.. one by one..

Really fantastic drive! Chapeau

wonderful car

Stunning!!

It's one thing to push a car near its limit on GT5... it's another thing entirely to perform those actions in the real world. Well done, sir!

Super Auto, super Fahrer, Super Runde!!!!👍

Only a thing: In Italy we say... this man have the balls! This is extremely driver!!!

Wow... well driven!

Big cojones. Good car control. Never underestimate a 944 in capable hands!

That is a fantastic time with that car. Long track that requires lots of hp. No factory support, and the Toyo 888's are not the best, plus a few corners I saw you go into under/over steer, but that is more of a heal and toe technique and since I have not driven those cars, I don't know if the pedals are set up for optimal use of that. Plus being a 5 speed and no PDK. That is truly a fantastic time. Very well done.

The best Porsche EVER!!!

Great drive!!

Ferdinand Porsche would be proud.

Very well driven

How many cars look as good good on the outside, and feel so good on the inside? Who doesn't want that

Impressive car and driver
