Porsche 718 Cayman GT4: Walter Röhrl Drives Hot Laps! | Carfection 4K 

Neawoulf Driving the track numerous times also helps.

Love how he uses every inch of the track, including the pit lane exit to enter the first corner as smooth as possible.

driven that track at least 50000 times 😂😂😂

⁠​⁠@@BLITZKRIEG1How manycrashes would you have if you drove it 50,000 times?

Matthew Gaither lol... I was about to write the same thing then I saw your post. Definitely!

They being Jim Clark :)

Walter's follow through is so impressive. I'm looking at his apex and he's planning ahead for the next corner with panache.

I mean the dude once drove an 037 in anger with crowds constantly playing Frogger in front of him, all while listening to pace notes and trying to avoid the cliff on the outside of the corner. I think this pretty much is a Sunday drive for him.

@@Te1ecastermaster And you forgot the night races during heavy fog, zero visibility in the mountains

I'm wondering who of all f1 pilots have the heel and too skills like him

I have never seen anyone do something so badass.

@@mitchell-wallisforce7859 This was actually quite common earlier days, as far as I know, it was also the original purpose of the rolex daytona to time laps for example.

Walter Röhrls: times the lap on his wrist watch Porsche's Sport Chrono Pack with a built in timer: Am I a joke to you?

@@tomgeboers2084 mi guess is Verstappen and Leclerc have never driven a manual gearbox

Yes, awesome man.

He always tell the truth! Porsche knows that. If the car is no perfect Race-Car for the street - they dont let Walter drive with passengers :) (Macan, Panamera, ....)

Which was Porsche´s exact reasoning when hiring Walter . Walter WILL tell them about every last little detail that isn´t "Porsche" in Walter´s eyes .

@@AntalopeAUT I'm sure Porsche marketing aren't fond of him. But the sad fact is those ratios are in there, in a GT car presumably used on track foremost. Sad for Porsche, marketeers are running the company

@@TheChannel1978 if you have bought this vehicle to exclusively throw it around on track, you would buy a gear box with custom ratios and retain the original gearbox for the next owner

Does anyone know what watch that is??

@@PFNasz My guess is a Omega Speedmaster

I looked again... not a speedmaster.. idk

You blink in Group B, and you end up inside of a tree

@@serialhater7360 With someone from the crowd in between

He even dont blink throw whole lap on Nordschleife

He’s saying, “don’t laugh at my understeer peasant.”

Shun-Hsing Cheng link or it didn’t happen.

Yes thats true. But as I'm aware Walter drove a Porsche and Michael a Ferrari. Michael was first in front and Walter hunt him nearly the whole lap but managed to overtake him at the end of the lap. But I'm pretty sure it was during a Touristenfahrten session and not while testing. By the way none of these two's realised while driving who was in the other car....they just realized it afterwards at DötingerHöhe;)

@@3000Payne ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lrXEKIZ4N5s.html here he is telling the story. I am german and I confirm. There is no video from the track however, they just accidently drove on the same day in the same car and Röhrl overtook Schumacher.

Walter is one of few guys who remembers EVERY TURN of the Nordschlife. A living legend still sharp as ever.

Porsche was testing the GT2 while bringing a Ferrari 599 as a reference car. Walter, as a Porsche test driver, was driving the reference Ferrari while overtaking Michael on the same Ferrari. The next day, Michael was blaming Sachs (the Ferrari suspension supplier) for underperforming.

Cars don't fly..

"If I want to fly, I would become a pilot. Not sit in a car."

The rally thing right.....

He's unhappy cos he hit the throttle a little too late coming out of the same corner. But he gradually became more aggressive as the video went on.

brisance exacly. He still challenges himself

Yupp,he didn't drive Audi S1 Quattros,he flew them just below take off speed. The man is not quite like us.

On the flying lap he only changed up 3 times and down 3 times!! Which is ridiculous. A mere mortal driving the same lap could possibly get away with only changing gear twice.

If the transmission is normally intended for things like the new C2s with more power is it the transmissions fault? I’m guessing developing a new transmission would’ve been far too expensive.

@@TheMoonigans i know right, it's a great car if you want to constantly maintain a relatively high speed (100mph), the one thing which sucks about it is the top speed of each gear even the slightest traffic on the highway means i have to keep shifting between 1st and 2nd gear every time i brake which kinda sucks. i've been daily driving one for over 2 years now and it's been almost absolutely amazing. recently got an akrapovic exhaust on it and it now sounds phenomenal.

@@thomasbailey4139 could have stuck a shorter ratio differential/rear end in there, but they did it to make the performance gap between the GT4 and 3 what it is. It's intentional.

Rene Hourian oh so it’s the diff that handicaps it? What if you put a GT3 diff in it? I know they want to separate it between the more expensive big brother. Probably wouldn’t be great if this was faster for sales haha

Same. The few seconds of the front camera filling the screen were a joy to watch.

*He doesn't have "DSG fast gear changes", because, well, that's impossible.*

Lvl 9. Microsoft Certified Technician Well, what I meant is that his gear changes are fast. I admire your quest in defending precise facts, but sarcasm is sarcasm. 👍
