Tremendous video in every single way. I was fortunate to be speaking with Pat Long the other day and he's incredibly humble and thoughtful. He clearly lets his driving do the talking, and his driving is EPIC!

Pat Long has got game with manual up and downshifts! Very sweet sounds from that boxer turbo!

Listen to that turbo fwoooosh. We tend to take paddle shifters for granted. Especially when you have to manually shift while maintaining all that thrust.

Patrick Long walked past me at Rennsport and I thought, “he’s a really good size to drive race cars” 😂

This is amazing footage. I noticed he's clutching on every upshift, though? Thought the 962 had a dog box H pattern without synchros, therefore no need to clutch after 1st gear.

Funny, first thing I noticed as well. I believe it does have straight cut gears in a 5 speed box (dog-leg first) BUT I'm guessin' he's being extra kind not really driving manuals on a regular basis.

An extra layer of insurance against money shifting a classic car I'd say

The Porsche 956 and 962 have synchro H pattern box; in fact pretty much every Porsche racing car is synchromesh almost without exception.

DANG I wanna drive that puppy. Anyone here drive the new pavement? Did they get rid of the dip at the clipping point of C6? I couldn't really tell from the video.

How old is this car? Amazing. Well done Mr. Long.

About mid 80s, but I would have to look up the specifics for this 962
