Faszination at the Nurburgring CTR RUF

An aols VHS of a RUF

[@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

[@johanneswarn5488]

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

[@stereolababy]

his balls were riding shotgun.

[@brendadiggins2714]

Facts

[@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.

In loafers

[@earsneyes43]

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

[@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?

[@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 :)

[@stronghold10a]

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

[@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

[@BIBILOUK]

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

[@michaelbagger3486]

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

[@jackallen6261]

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

[@TheMlc4life]

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

[@jonesboydamnit]

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

[@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.

[@ryanbutt1808]

"When the rear end's loose, the car's fast. Loose is fast, and on the edge of out of control" - Harry Hogge from Days of Thunder (1990)

[@allseeingeye1]

Her ass is ALL OVER the place

[@randomfaca]

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

[@nicom.9352]

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

[@jojimbousagi5903]

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

[@dimsterz]

This is now a freaking legend.

[@Legotruck82]

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

[@elgar6743]

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

[@cp1031]

This is driving with your socks on extreme!

[@MadPyrotechnicus]

This man is a driving GOD!

[@charliestafford9978]

My favourite driving clip on KZbin.. incredible 👌

[@plooker39]

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

[@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.

[@Berchol]

Drifting on purpose to go FASTER

[@hetracaki]

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

[@ChuckHickl]

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

[@Mynx-]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@F1CANuDOit2012]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@dgexoh92]

Excellent driving skills, and no helmet!

[@chrisc7590]

yacht shoes and white socks!

[@68rastaboy]

That guy's amazing...

[@XtremAve]

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

[@ShortAss00]

That is some impressive car control...and some impressive speed

[@mercedes-amgenthusiat1915]

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

[@Th0rOS]

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

[@grandizer4531]

Amazing what a real car can do.

[@readyfe]

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

[@Teezythadon]

And flip flops lol

[@Edward135i]

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

[@alakseifer]

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

[@kb930t]

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

[@ultrabodyitalia]

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

[@dano670]

This guy was drifting before drifting was even a word.

[@bigbbadnoobian]

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

[@Mediabias4all]

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

[@cp1031]

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

[@ThomasXp]

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

[@KuehlIndustrial]

Chuck Norris would bow down to this man. Insane

[@laurentpk]

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

[@gmctech]

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

[@Christophe_L]

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

[@marcelschneller1152]

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

[@Kn0wOneNos3]

2:06 Sick

[@Nogitaman]

You a Porsche man??

[@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.

[@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

[@grzegorzmartyniak288]

Sun goes down, on focus

[@PistonAvatarGuy]

That is one rowdy car.

[@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.

[@123456789sha]

that turbo sound spooling up

[@stekhouse]

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

[@united0warrior]

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

[@bramhoux7603]

he almost drifted the whole round lol, awesome driver

[@cippaification1]

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

[@lesterismyname]

This is just fucking outrageous. Holy shit.

[@CNCTEMATIC]

Goddamn! LIKE A BOSS!!

[@_odaxelagnia]

Best driver i've ever seen

[@isabelanaisabel]

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

[@schande]

this guy... my god what skill

[@stefan-stocksmadesimple5241]

Very skilled ! Were all CTR's that sketchy ?

[@timweber4318]

What do you mean with sketchy? If you refer to the handling: well that much Power with rwd and rear engine means you will go sideways if you want to or not

[@TheVIPchanel]

Wer kann so super fahren Geil!

[@Exowar01]

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

[@carstenrehder4531]

the craziest man from the white sock department ...

[@mgb40v8]

my word this chap seems to steering the wrong way into corners

[@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.

[@paolunna]

Brilliant!!!!

[@bigbbadnoobian]

under 9min very impressive

[@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!

[@magicogonzalez8465]

espectacular!!

[@Sherrard50]

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

[@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!

[@scoot24925]

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

[@DumpoDeluxe]

Very very fast and skilled Driver And no electroniks helping wauu

[@rzarii]

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

[@5nIpEr11]

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

[@kibert1]

Maestro al volante..!!

[@DoogenBurns]

This is how I imagine my driving... in my 95 F150

[@alexpeedmc2722]

Nice!!! And this is what you can do when you made 1000 laps in the green hell.

[@dennismohry84]

A+ Driver, Good Control

[@Brandy911]

Fährst Du quer, siehst Du mehr ! :-)

[@lucnovo]

Great car, suicidal driver

[@laurentpk]

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

[@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

[@willdrumforfood01]

The Stig, before Top Gear recruited him.

[@ichigobleach1235]

AWESOME

[@oOAltoOo]

I don't know if I just watched a lap of the Nordschleife or an early Ken Block video...
