Thanks for posting. Pretty amazing to see the 911s sliding around after the four minute mark.

Harris is a good shoe...those old bias Dunlop SPs have a break away that's sooooo gradual. It's easy to drive'm sideways as opposed to the modern radials with a nano second breakaway.

I was wondering about that. What are the rules/standards regarding tires for an event like this? They look pretty narrow. I know nothing of racing. Purely a fantasy at this point.

Basically FIA Homologation 183, except 6x15 is allowed instead of the official 5,5x15. Most FIA cars are running 6" anyway.

Spectacular. I love the high speed vid slowed down. Great effect.
Personally, I would prefer that the vintage racing organizations would require all the groups to run period correct. You would see a whole love more exciting racing - not to mention more cost effective.

That is one of the best vids I've seen of early 911s at work. As Chris Harris mentions, these cars are not evil-handling deathtraps! Just look at the smooth, predictable transitions from understeer to oversteer. Yes, the narrow tires help with the fun.
