Crazy Dutch Clubsport!

[Talk-torque]

Been watching YouTube, via a FireStick, on my mancave TV, for a while, with an ever expanding list of subscriptions. This video popped up tonight of a pretty impressive Clubsport.

Hard to watch him driving so fast on a two lane autobahn! 😬

470bhp is impressive - but have you see the 540bhp UK one??! Which actually looks quite driveable still. Guess that comes down to the tyres and suspension set up.

Two things:

1) Why should a more powerful car be any less driveable?

2) LLF deserves to be locked up, the way he drives people's cars so recklessly. Ridiculous

1. It shouldn't, in fact a well mapped high bhp car with steady power delivery can be a better driver then one that is boosted stupidly yet has less power.
2. Agree. The man boy needs to be locked up.

The dutch guy was far more reckless. When he got to 275kph he passed a group of 4 cars fairly close together in the nearside lane. He's relying on their judgment not to pull out at the wrong time.

I didn't say it did but doubling the power of car would normally have some sort of effect on driveability. 500+ bhp FWD cars aren't normal as 300 is considered a good threshold.

German autobahn drivers are completely different to what we drive like in the UK. They are much more aware than most Muppets in this country.

Oh, that’s definitely true. He’s still doing 170mph, not all german drivers will have good speed judgement.

yes agreed but if you are on the unrestricted bits you'll be more aware, hopefully.

Still high risk when the gaps are small.

We managed 184mph (speedo not GPS) on a 2 lane autobahn in my mates Cayman S on a road trip back in 2008. It was pretty clear stretch though on a quiet Sunday.
