Nurburgring chases are always fun to watch, but when these involve the car vs. bike scenario, things can get pretty complicated. Well, here's a pair that managed to get over such issues, with this involving a 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS.
Keep in mind that we're talking about the 2019 incarnation of the machine, with the owner having dropped plenty of Nordschleife laps. And during the lap found in the piece of footage at the bottom of the page, the aficionado happened to come across an uber-quick motorcyclist.
And traffic was obviously involved, with this having only spiced up the Bridge to Gantry (this is the tourist layout of the Ring, which skipes the main straight) adventure we have here.
The driver took the time to share some thoughts on how the machine feels on the Green Hell.
"The RS felt very good and I'm getting in the zone with it. What felt nice is how I can go full on the gas now at Ex-Mühle/Breitscheid and you feel the back hunkering down hard and pushing you up. This was way less with the GT4. Also now I felt the aero of the car really working at some places. You can lean into it," we are being told.
More importantly, the driver also addressed the potential comments regarding the dangers involved by hooning the car in the proximity of the rider.
"During this lap I run into a very fast and good driving biker. Before you post all the comments about how dangerous I drive behind him, my foot is standby on the brake and you know when you are driving behind an experienced biker or not. Also nice that he let me pass at the right moment. We also gave a big thumbs up to each other for the fun lap," the aficionado said.
