This video is the Porsche 911 GT3 going around the course Jackie Stewart dubbed The Green Hell. It's 7 minutes and 33 seconds of a view from the cockpit, and it's pretty amazing. What gets me is the light: You're doing 280 kph through a forest with the road in deep shadow, when suddenly you're blinded by the glare of the sun as you have to slow to 95 for a tight curve.
The driver obviously knows the track very, very well -- the way I used to know my favorite ski runs, like The Ridge at Tod Mountain at Kamloops (now Sun Peaks). Sun, shadow, sun, shadow -- very challenging. Nurburgring -- beautiful course!
