500hp 1962 VW Time Attack Bus

[Tekknikal]

That wasn't a typ-o. Apparently some Germans thought it would be a good idea to give a VW bus the internals of a 911, and then take it to the track as a "taxi"...

This is how it started...

And the aftermath, video footage from the track:

Notice how the Aston wouldn't let the Porsche GT3 (camera car) pass...

:eek: Help me out here dread. Did that bus just blow past that porsche?

[Tekknikal]

yes sir..apparently the bus was braking later and harder into the turns than the 911 GT3. the Aston tried to hold its line to prevent the GT3 from passing.......but then the bus took advantage of it, passing both the GT3 and the Aston. The gt3 eventually got past the Aston but it was too late...the bus was already gone and braking for the next turn after that :rofl:
