I'd say he is a great driver. He was passing everything. Wish they had showed the rpm & mph at the same time. That was one screaming engine!
Y'know, i might be wrong, but...

And I thought I could corner at fast speed. This guy would be sitting at the finish line when I'm just starting. He is simply talented beyond belief. Nascar needs to hire him to teach American drivers how it is done.
Hans Stuck is certianly one of the fastest drivers in the word. He is equally talented at left and right turns.
the Nurburg track is awesome. it was nice to get a guided tour around it

His closure speed on some cars, like the Porche, was amazing....
Did you see the car, about 4:30 sec. into the video, that used his turn signal to show which side of the road he was taking, allowing Hans to make a clean pass? Amazing!

I love watching the really good racing drivers.
They appear to have so much time on their hands.
I guess the old 7Ps apply to racings also.
(reminds me of a local car mag story of Peter Brock driving the Holden Statesman Magnum around Oran Park)

Now if you want to experiance driving the coarse the amazing thing is ...Grand tourismo 4 ..for the playstation 2 has that coarse is it ..is unreal how acurate it is .I mean to the letter ...right down to the graphitti on the road ! WOW !!!!
What??? 8 minutes 37 seconds to go only 14 miles? I could show him a thing or three on some Carolina backroads.
What happened about a third of the way into this video. Got fuzzy for a second or two. Did he hit the warp drive at that point? But I was waiting, and bracing myself, to see a deer jump out in front of him the whole way. And yes, its always a joy to see a driver perform at speed.
On a related not, has anyone ever seen the video of that Ferrari driver going through the streets of Paris, at suicidal speeds, with a camera on the front of his car? I havent seen it, but supposedly it is a very exhilarating, and scary, movie to see.

that was an education.
Three letters, one syllable: WOW!

I wonder what type of 20wt. oil, Stuckee, had in the BMW?
This clip shows a Master, at work
Where could we see The Ferrari, drive through the streets of Paris, at speed?
Cheers,

Holy crap. Is there anybody he didn't pass???
WOW

I got Hans to autograph a model of the BMW M1 he used to race back in the day. He was super nice!
Impressive all right, but don't you guys think this has got to be an advert for BMW? Those Porches and their drivers cant be THAT slow! Also check the source of that video- BMW..............
I am not familiar with this race series, but based on other European set-ups, this may have been a qualifying run for the BMW. Unlike in the USA, many European qualifying runs are made during "practice" sessions, so you have some teams checking out systems and others driving as hard as they can. Sometimes it is difficult to get a "clean" qualifying run due to slow traffic.
