Faszination at the Nurburgring CTR RUF

[@johanneswarn5488]

This dude has some seriously big balls.. One of the trickiest handling cars ever made. Fantastic driving

[@stereolababy]

his balls were riding shotgun.

Facts

[@AlexSicari]

When critisized about his 'drifting' driving style being slower for lap times, Stefan Roser was quoted as replying with: 'Sometimes, when I am with my woman, we are not trying to make babies' Legend

[@d0pedrag0n]

Probably the best driving i've ever seen taking everything into consideration. The 911 is a freak of a car in its most basic form with its engine situated behind the rear axle. The 930 turbo was scary enough but RUF decided to make a deal with satan to create a 469bhp death dealing mechanical monster! This is balls of steel driving, best i've seen...incredible stuff! Efficient driving comment made me laugh :)

[@alancsalt]

In 1987 the Ruf CTR Yellowbird.became the fastest car in the world, besting both the Porsche 959 and Ferrari F40. Ruf test driver Stefan Roser takes it around the Nürburgring Nordschleife in just eight minutes and five seconds. Right foot steering at its best as he takes every bend sideways, all the while dodging traffic at huge speeds.

[@Power5]

In loafers

[@brew62]

It's safe to assume the ones that gave this video thumbs down were the ones that were being passed while on the ring?

[@earsneyes43]

Dude spanked the car around with total fearlessness, beast of a driver.

[@stronghold10a]

this guy walks the fine line between pure fun and instant death. Just great

[@BIBILOUK]

This is the best car footage video on you tube ever .

[@elgar6743]

Holy Opposite Lock Steering BATMAN!! Outstanding driving display by a white socks/leather dress loafers wearing Hero in this iconic RUF. Fantastic vid!!

[@michaelbagger3486]

The Drivers name is Stefan Roser. Hi were working as a mekanik for RUF.

[@charliestafford9978]

My favourite driving clip on KZbin.. incredible 👌

[@jonesboydamnit]

This might be the most intense / terrifying pass through the Karussell I've ever watched. Amazing control.

[@DerekMoore82]

8 Nurburgring motorcyclists with urine stained jeans disliked this video. Great driving! The laptime was an 8:05 - it's on par with the NA1 NSX-R (8:03.86).

[@russellnotestine6436]

It doesn't look that fast.

[@jcerullo5015]

@@russellnotestine6436 Fast laps never look fast, that the fastest way around a track is to be in control smooth driving.

[@russellnotestine6436]

@@jcerullo5015 I totally agree.. A perfect lap LOOKS smooth safe and easy. Some say "Wanna go faster"?!?! Try slowing down. Smooth is fastest and saves tires for later. Yup

[@dimsterz]

This is now a freaking legend.

[@TheMlc4life]

This was on Limewire or Napster I remember now! I was just kid and me and my friends thought this guy was crazy!

[@jackallen6261]

Deck shoes and short sleeve shirt lapping the green hell in 8:05 seconds. That's just crazy!!

[@randomfaca]

Who the fuck dislikes this? This is one of the best car control videos ever made

[@MadPyrotechnicus]

This man is a driving GOD!

[@jojimbousagi5903]

How is this even humanly possible??? Unreal driving skills...

[@Ghost10110101]

Around the 12 minute mark is when the tires said "the hell with this! I'm outta here!" Serious guts driving like that especially after the tires were overheated or just plane worn out. It was like he was wrestling the car as much as he was the track.

[@plooker39]

That is an understeer coffin for novice drivers. I love it!!! That guy sure knows how to drive. He's VERY good.

[@m4ini]

A car that rewards you with either the most amazing and involving driving experience, testing everything you got. Or a car that punishes you with certain death for the tiniest mistake. A widow-maker. But in a good way: it's not a toy for boys like a cayman or 911 today - drive this one fast, and the first mistake will (on the ring at least) cost you the car. Or worse. It's literally a man and car dancing on a knifes edge.

[@nicom.9352]

When racing drivers had BALLS ! No stupidly easy flappy paddles... Heal toe all along ! What a beautiful video

[@F1CANuDOit2012]

Not watched this for a while, its still amazing :)

[@jannadrielcervo7753]

Incredible driving! A true widow-maker. I would be sweating so hard driving that thing in the 'Ring, even watching it makes my heartbeat rise.

[@Legotruck82]

@gmctech I believe this is Stefan Rosier, RUF's test driver, but i might be wrong?

[@ChuckHickl]

My god that was an evil handling car! What a handful.

[@hetracaki]

This is EXACTLY how XRG Turbo handles in Live for speed! So much fun!

[@Mynx-]

Stefan Roser's driving is such a glorious thing to behold...

[@cp1031]

This is driving with your socks on extreme!

[@ryanbutt1808]

[@ultrabodyitalia]

Per la madonna!!!!! Io sento di amarti dal profondo del cuore, man!!!!

[@dgexoh92]

Excellent driving skills, and no helmet!

[@chrisc7590]

yacht shoes and white socks!

[@68rastaboy]

That guy's amazing...

[@ryand.3858]

That car is a handful, I’d definitely have wrecked it very quickly driving like that. In modern cars you stand a pretty good chance of walking away from a crash, but cars like this will probably kill you. This man has some guts.

[@ThomasXp]

Just out of coincidence, That is my favourite car and track in gran turismo on my psp. MAn this guy is just flying!

[@Edward135i]

This was before it was cool to take your car around the Nurburgring. This is some OG shit right here.

[@gmctech]

Walter Rohrl !!!! Like A Boss!!!!!!

[@marcelschneller1152]

Look in bis hands!! Its like in koks! Wow it is real good!!looks like Walther Röhl

[@cp1031]

1989 or so. This is a RUF test driver, its soo badass.

[@mercedes-amgenthusiat1915]

he made it look hard but fun at the same time. he had all the skills for conquering the nurburgring

[@musicmaker99]

Back when men were men and tyres and suspension hadn't been invented! Unfortunately not may exterior shots but when you see them the slip angles are unbelievable!

[@Th0rOS]

This must be the most suicidal driving I have ever seen :X Along with Ari Vatanen and Climb dance of course :)

[@magicogonzalez8465]

espectacular!!

[@XtremAve]

Ruf; Stefan Roser; truly 80's (white socks :) ); just pure engineering and no driving aid.

[@123456789sha]

that turbo sound spooling up

[@RtB68]

I have this car on my Sony VR and I try to re-create this lap quite often. I rarely make it to the compression before I crash and die. On one lap I actually made it to the Karoussel without killing myself but - yep, you guessed it. Wall. Thank God for the reset button. lol.

[@rzarii]

Mistrz! Nie ogarniam jak on szybko kierownicą kręci:) Kto z gazety Top Gear??:D

[@ntinoupt]

Fantastic video! The best nurburgring video on youtube. I really got a query: why this car handles this amazing way? All modern porsche car are rear-engineed and powerful

[@daddyeagen]

George Ko no traction control, no stability control, no electronic braking control, this car was lightweight with huge power. The nurburgring isn't smooth everywhere and there is very little weight on the front with no engine, so it changes direction quickly, sometimes too quickly! With this rear engine rear drive layout oversteer is the order of the day

[@laurentpk]

Drift @ 11:55 is SUPERNATURAL.... Holy fuck!!!

[@bigbbadnoobian]

in order for it to be a save you need to lose control... this guy never loses control

[@Karibanu]

What would I give to see Walter Rohrl doing this... The 930t had a deserved reputation for being evil - no surprise when you add turbo lag to the already pendulous handling. Not entirely sure you could keep the back end in check much more than this ( at least the first lap ). Watch some historic 911 racing onboards & you'll get an idea of how sideways they are almost all the time. He's also driving it much like a rally car, let's not forget 80s tyres weren't stellar. Scooter at 6:45 . Wonder if it's someone going to work :p

[@CNCTEMATIC]

Goddamn! LIKE A BOSS!!

[@paolunna]

Brilliant!!!!

[@grzegorzmartyniak288]

Sun goes down, on focus

[@MrMrSinus]

The RUF CTR Yellowbird legend, Rear-engine, Rear-wheel-drive no problem because his balls makes up for the balance. The best driving at Nurburgring! no discussion.

[@grandizer4531]

Amazing what a real car can do.

[@_odaxelagnia]

Best driver i've ever seen

[@Mediabias4all]

Being a narrow bodied 911 makes this video even more amazing...

[@isabelanaisabel]

mygoshh this driver is sooo sick! yellowbird is very hard to handle...

[@Berchol]

Drifting on purpose to go FASTER

[@gregstop8259]

he wasnt faster but it was more fun and its better to watch

[@KuehlIndustrial]

Chuck Norris would bow down to this man. Insane

[@PistonAvatarGuy]

That is one rowdy car.

[@schande]

this guy... my god what skill

[@kibert1]

Maestro al volante..!!

[@DumpoDeluxe]

Very very fast and skilled Driver And no electroniks helping wauu

[@dano670]

This guy was drifting before drifting was even a word.

[@alakseifer]

Some say, this man escaped the farm where the stig was born......

[@bramhoux7603]

he almost drifted the whole round lol, awesome driver

[@Exowar01]

It's not realy " saves " it's just incredible car control but hey, i'm with you, this guy is a legend.

[@cippaification1]

Looks the car is trying to kill him at every corner...this guy is amazing and knows perfectly his beast...

[@DethThrasher1]

same but this seems much older, early 90s perhaps?

[@Kn0wOneNos3]

2:06 Sick

[@Nogitaman]

You a Porsche man??

[@XYZ-g9w4e]

haha look at the pass at 05:28 THAT'S what I'm talking about!!! He passed him sideways from the outside! I'm so trying to convince my self to spend my life savings to buy a 1986 911 Turbo with RUF upgrades but then again...I come down to earth and watch this instead!

[@united0warrior]

No helmet No racing suite Fucking lots of power and driving like a maniac He HAS BALLS =D

[@lesterismyname]

This is just fucking outrageous. Holy shit.

[@zxtenn]

Excellent driver who seems to know the track, the handling of the 911 and the power output, he had his hands full for sure-- How many laps will the tires last under those conditions? What year was that? It looks rather old

[@kb930t]

Some one told me he taught Chuck Norris how to fight...

[@readyfe]

I remember watching this on VHS and went - No gloves... wait a minute NO HELMET!!!

[@Teezythadon]

And flip flops lol

[@stekhouse]

this is a coffin with a powerful engine, that's fucking scary, btw he has some great car control!

[@BOlosicuBOlo]

Those are not saves, he knows what the car is going to do in the corner and he is able to counter that; the car must inspire so confidence, it's crazy.

[@scoot24925]

Haha,i could start to number you all the moments when other drivers would fail but a day wouldn't be enough.

[@Christophe_L]

The RUF, the RUF, the RUF is on fire! Oh no wait, that's a Ferrari.

[@bigbbadnoobian]

under 9min very impressive

[@dennismohry84]

A+ Driver, Good Control

[@laurentpk]

Drift @ 13:54 is from another fucking universe!!!

[@joshedillon9534]

Just a question: What color would the Ruf CTR look best in, in your opinion?

[@sLevnZelevn]

driving bare foot... like a BOSS

[@worldhello1234]

Balls to the wall!

[@BollocksUtwat]

I thought it looked like he was driving in loafers with white socks making him even more 80s badass.

[@TheVIPchanel]

Wer kann so super fahren Geil!

[@v8bloke]

Talk about sawing at the wheel!!!

[@MrKyleecob]

Does anyone know why this film was made? I can take a guess and say it was promotional for RUF but is there more to it? What year was it made?

[@ShootsDenBrah]

not necessarily, keiichi tsuchiya has been drifting since his younger years so that'd definitely be before the 90's. but before drifting was popular outside of japan yeah haha.

[@5nIpEr11]

unreal car control, i'd have some loose bowles in the passenger seat of this! speechless!!

[@ichigobleach1235]

AWESOME

[@Sherrard50]

Some say he's the Stigs insane cousin...

[@carstenrehder4531]

the craziest man from the white sock department ...

[@300NGO]

i`m wondering if you can ever get bored of making laps with this car on nurburgring

[@ColoradoStreaming]

Lol your comment reminds me from my favorite stupid line from the original "Fast and Furious": "Your granny shifting instead of double clutching like you should..." Yes because it is 48 deg out and you just started up your 1992 Honda and the synchros havnt warmed up yet lol Thanks for the heads up on the book btw, I am going to pick up a copy on Amazon

[@matty_lam_937]

Anyone know the music around 16:00???

[@ceterallyman]

this is driving nice one

[@texasmr2]

It is a sad day indeed when a manufacturer makes the final decision of what a consumer wants. Give me a manual or give me death!
