Nordschleife Porsche 944 Turbo

944 turbo (chip tuned to about 270-280 PS). 16" rims. Toyo 888 with 225/50 in front and 245/45 in rear. tire pressure cold 2,2 bar. KW Variante 3 Suspension. camera change at Mutkurve and Pfanzgarten due to traffic. Mixture between the 8th and 11th round at Nordschleife in real car. I have learned the track at Playstation GT5.

it's the certified UPS drivers instructional video

[@cloverasx]

Nonsense. UPS drivers don't wear gloves.

[@wezmarauder2754]

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.

[@MultiMaverix]

Wez Marauder I only think that because it was fwd and no one understood that a 4 banger fwd has potential. But they were wrong

[@TheJagjr4450]

@@MultiMaverix IT was NOT FRONT WHEEL DRIVE... IT was FRONT ENGINED REAR WHEEL DRIVE through a 5 speed transaxle.

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

[@Eltalstro]

Those who know, know.

[@evanfinch4987]

this is literally what the car is for

[@seancrowley1065]

Everybody knew I guess except you

[@kevineggsandbacon]

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.

[@NemanjaGuitar]

you've got balls.

+NemanjaGuitar This driver has SKILL

[@NemanjaGuitar]

+BlackJack848s2 agreed!

[@nathanwabre]

Definitely 11 tenth 👌💪

[@TheMentalblockrock]

Passed that wide body 911 like it was nothing!

[@deNinguaParte]

Surprised that 911 driver didn't step out of his car to see why he stopped moving.

[@B_rett_B]

like zombie head said, the 944 is a much better handling car and could of easily surpassed the 911 of the time around a corner. i was informed by a retired Porsche engineer a few years ago that they created a concept called the 944gt that had a wider engine bay and an upgraded suspention to handle the weight of a modified porsche 928 v8 engine, it never hit production because it out performed the 911 in every way by a long shot.

[@user-op3ib9wx3o]

yes, yes, yes

[@TheMentalblockrock]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWmYYWxvndF4rqM How many 911's does he have to pass before they undestand?? That one at 3 min looked like the current model.

[@official_commanderhale965]

Brett B would’ve destroyed the 911 base and the car would’ve be been wayyyyy cheaper to buy and maintain.

[@JustShred015]

I think he's done this a few times.

[@944turbo]

+Scott Gaetjens Yes. It was the 11th round in reality. I have learned the track with playstation GT5 for many hours.

[@JustShred015]

Haha same.

[@miqojoe]

+944 turbo Thats amazing, I memorized the Nurburgring because of GT5 also , I was actually shocked by how accurate it was! Non the less amazing driving man and a phenomenal car

[@ScorbasGaming]

Good Man. May i ask how did the actual gaming wheel compare to a real race experience?

[@944turbo]

With playstation GT5 i am not able to drift. In reality i am. The steering wheel turns slower than in reality. May be assetto corsa with a thrustmaster t500 is better. i don't know.

[@doca8792]

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.

[@Network-Mike]

Incredible driving!

[@bagnatofurniture388]

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

[@mrthunder8190]

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!

[@7am_Banks]

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

[@mightyfreshable]

now I want an 944.

[@joejoe188]

Giovanni Casino Grab a clean well kept Turbo. They been going up in value for the last 6 years. All tansaxles for that matter.

[@Noh1996]

you better get it fast because it's still cheap.

[@dndmat]

No, you NEED a 944. ;)

[@kevineggsandbacon]

Get one. Turbos are sicko but pull third gear and you'll likely get arrested. I had an '88 n/a I drove 4 years before the 951. I miss pushing every gear in the N/A. It was slower but more fun in that way.

[@edoardocasagrande4339]

did u get it

[@arbite979]

Excellent driving Mr , had one 20 odd years ago , much respect

[@angryfishmonger]

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

[@panvomacka9079]

I also return often :-) it never gets old (same as the car)

[@stuartmatthews8187]

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 :)

[@KirkTheGod]

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

[@drewmorg.]

It's beautiful... love when it's accompanied by a sideways burnout at the end of 1st gear

[@williesworldofwheels]

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

[@tomodonoghue3309]

A good result for a 30 year old car

[@alexanderberggren7914]

This is BTG, I assume rank 178 would be for the full lap. But anyway, great driving, great car.

[@LesZapata]

A man on a mission! Good stuff!

[@944turbo]

Thank you. Yes you are right. My mission is to make it under 8 min.

[@LesZapata]

Did you install the short shift link kit? That might shave some time.

[@LesZapata]

Film your footwork next time. I'd like to see your heel-toe technique. I didn't hear it on your vid.

[@944turbo]

***** No i did not. Next year i will film the footwork.

[@LesZapata]

Sweet! Good luck on your quest and be safe! There's no reset button.

[@TtimWh]

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

[@944turbo]

the car is awesome, you are right. thank you.

[@Tzimis1111]

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.

[@mickeyward1878]

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.

[@MyMotherTheCar]

An incredibly precise and forgiving car to drive fast.

[@blakewilliams9642]

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

[@Martin944turbo]

Noticed that too haha. Great stuff.

[@Nonviableaccount]

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

[@Conradlovesjoy]

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.

[@seroteis666]

Best engine sound ever

[@TheMentalblockrock]

I disagree, much as I love the 944 cars, the 911 does have a better engine sound.

[@seroteis666]

for sure man. The new 911s sound too muffled.

[@paultaylorkf2119]

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.

[@angryfishmonger]

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

[@viniciusmosso1033]

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

[@meep6188]

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

[@GOFAST951]

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!

[@944turbo]

+GOFAST951 Thanks a lot.

[@royuncg2]

[@tekis0]

THAT was simultaneously both exhilarating and harrowing!

[@MrStroller4u]

[@ikra]

awesome driving.

[@miked5789]

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

[@mayamanign]

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!

[@TheMentalblockrock]

came 6th overallin LeMans, I believe???

[@FrankValchiria]

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

[@fcracer88]

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!

[@luciantruscott8528]

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

[@LUCAW45]

I learned it from need for speed shift. games are not useless to learn, fuck thoses guys saying the reverses

[@luciantruscott8528]

LUCAW45 exactly! why I love video games so much!

[@ahmadwhocos]

Easiest way to memorize the track

[@TakeFlightGarage]

[@LostinSweden68]

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...

[@944turbo]

9:25 is great, for a 944s.

[@MrJoelioish]

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.

[@944turbo]

Thank you.

[@nurburgflip1188]

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.

[@ralleyquattro]

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. 😉

[@cdm121880]

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!

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

[@andrewt3952]

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

[@no65mph]

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.

[@colinmiller1608]

[@amoeller75]

[@perrunestam5667]

[@RetrocarStyle]

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.

[@INDIGOBLUE555]

That guy can drive,that's for sure albeit I assure you about the rear suspension in the 944 series making you feel like running on rails compared to the SC and Carrera 3200. I owned both 944/944T and SC3000/Carrera 3200 and the main difference was the 944 forgiving your driving mistakes throughout curves and entering curves at speed under braking. Both 944/911 were outstanding daydrivers and the 944T actually was pretty much underrated yet performing as like as a 3200 offering a more comfortable and safe ride.

[@Ilmonarchico]

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

[@TH75767]

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