Solitude Revival 2015 - Porsche 908-3 onboard

[@stevemotocarb9579]

Ernst Schuster, German hobby driver. I worked on his 936C back in 1986 when it finished in 6th place at Le Mans. Complete gentleman, he must be in his early eighties now. Nice to see he’s still driving.

[@900108Chale]

Hey! Do you by any chance know if this was the one driven by Rodriguez/Kinnunen or Müller in Traga Florio 1970 or 71? TX!

[@christschool]

The guy driving is in his 80's!? You have got to be shitting us!

i used to sit at trackside in the last section of the circuit, called the "Kahdental".....late 50 to early 60s...i saw all thegreats ofthe time there...fantastic....didn't think somebody would manage to organise this "revival"....well done...and great cars there too----

Sehr schön dieses "On board" erlebniss ! Danke Herr Schuster.

[@stephenscharf6293]

What a fabulous race car. Speed, handling, braking all combine for a beautifully balanced racing car. It's blinding fast, yet so well balanced it rips through the chicanes like they're not even there. No wonder this car was so successful in competition for so long.

[@johnfalkenstine8377]

In the early seventies, in my early twenties as a mechanic, this was one of the cars one desired to drive. Absolute killer hillclimb car.

[@Bandit-qy6ow]

What a sound!!! Those lovely downshifts... man!!

[@boijorzee]

My favorite classic Porsche. It teeters on that edge between new and old. I can only imagine the thrill of driving it.

[@DRMET]

The 908 is a very special car. Thanks for posting this.

[@williamwalter2061]

One of the best sounding race cars ever.

[@m110cruiser5]

What a great racing car,so stabil on the road. the driver has full control over the 908 !

[@aaronjohnmaughan]

One of the best liveries ever.

[@nj2352]

Indeed.

[@drazenbudis7881]

So simple, yet so awesome and never replicated. Like the dark side of the moon album cover, a pure example of why simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

[@irjoecamel]

It's nice to see these cars show up at track events...... truly museum pieces........

[@963robw]

the engine sound on this thing is INCREDIBLE

[@meteormedia7021]

In my opinion one of the greatest racetracks of all time

[@oldschoolracinggames5729]

Totally true.

[@tmlm9782]

Yeah, but normally it's speed-limited to hell, you can go no faster than 80 kph but for a few hundred meters. The curvy section back to the timig tower is the worst at 60 kph... Obeying the speed limit a lap takes about 12+ minutes, depending on traffic lights, other cars etc. But beautiful and exciting to drive nonetheless, just did some 'laps' earlier today :D

[@SH-ly1uy]

What a wild ride....very much like racing back in the 70's.

[@leonardgmiller8924]

bloody beautiful my Father had a genuine Porsche workshop from 1968 to 1973 and we had the privilege of having a 908 for the motor show in 1969 we dropped the engine and gearbox out as a unit and had the car set up so people could see in it created a lot of interest and i had the what i thought at that time was fun i got to sit in the car and steer it when it was getting pushed in place of work and steering it hey not much but more than some, fond memories working in the family business like going for my license in a 1953 356a 1300super the only modification done to this car was a disc brake front beautiful motor car to drive it did a genuine 106mph, pity it ever got sold.

[@slickrick3010]

This video makes me want to take a drive. Awesome footage

[@Thecrazyheadphoneguy]

The flat 8´s sound is just so mesmerizing.

[@patrickarmitageWWW]

Great to hear what it actually sounds like in car. Thanks for sharing!

[@fabbux]

wonderful! just to think what fantastic emotion was to drive that car in '70 for professional driver. the view is spectacular, the sound incredible!

[@FranklyF]

I usually don't like this kind of videos - they get incredibly boring -, but I've got to admit that this one is really cool: beautiful car, beautiful sound, beautiful track, and beautiful drive! Great job, man: honestly, great job.

[@rolux4853]

Boring? How can those old Porsche masterpieces be boring? If you want boring, go watch a modern F1 race..

[@SH-ly1uy]

The last part of the track, Mahdental, is absolutely incredible. Drive it on a Sunday morning without traffic and don’t get caught. Amazing experience

[@riceski]

The 908 chewed em up and spit em out - man that car is fast.

[@raidr_actual]

Dude this car is a BEAST.

[@Mick_A_Knuckle]

Yup, 1100 lb and 375 HP makes all other cars on this track into pylons.

[@Casey_J96]

Amazing car. And great job passing, you could tell you were really waiting to make sure they knew you were there before flying by them.

Yeah irreplaceable car.

[@briangriffiths114]

Very enjoyable video with good picture quality and fantastic engine sound.

[@granturismomh]

Awesome historic Porsche 908-3 plus more racing cars. I really like the onboard view of the Porsche 908-3 battling the worthy opponents and racing to victory. Plus the Porsche are race into the legend today. Keep doing what you love and enjoy.

[@snail415]

I come back to this video time and time again. Curious if you ever pause to consider that if you hit anything...your legs are immediately behind you. I’ve got a pair, but they are not made of brass... Great stuff, and glad you had the opportunity.

[@alex0711a]

What an absolute dream doing this awesome track in this incredible car without upcoming traffic

[@ielnaxd_21yt21]

May be 7 years late, but now there's a mod for Assetto Corsa of the Solitude original track of the 50' or 60', for people who want to run here.

To be honest, I can't think of too many other cars in which I would be quite happy to be "stuck in traffic".

lecam yves I doubt there will ever be an electric car as light as this (~1200 lb) that can last a 1000 km race distance.

[@drazenbudis7881]

amorag59 Not in this century for sure

[@drazenbudis7881]

Isaac Nesbitt Maybe but I don’t think so. Batteries are in developement longer than ICE

[@amorag59]

@Isaac Nesbitt "Who knows" ? It's not a walk in the park, I do the math: The 908-3 made 360 hp - say averaging ~110 Kw (150 hp) for 6 hours race time, you would need a 650,000 Watt-hour battery. Good luck getting that under 1,200 lbs in the next millennium.

What "race"? Lotsa sandbagging and feathered throttle. Unlikely they were at all prepared for real racing. That little flat-8 did sound nice when he opened it up. (First serious Porsche challenger in endurance racing, mind you.)

Great engine in a very light car. One of the best engines Porsche ever built. It cost too much to make so they went to the 936 which produced more power at a lower cost.

This is amazing! Beautiful cars, weather, open road and a bunch of people celebrating it. Something like this would never happen where I live. They would definitely close one of the two major bridges in the heart of the city during rush hour traffic for a stupid bicycle unity parade but close off some roads on the outskirts of town to celebrate historic race cars?? never ever..!! Back in the 70s, 80s early 90s maybe.. This goes for most of America today. They'll close off some roads for a race if celebrities are involved but if the cars are the celebrity nobody cares.
