On the Racetrack with Walter Röhrl!

Intro [Music] Today we are taking you to the exclusive track day together with our customers   the Sachsenring and we have another racing legend with us who you will probably know at the end   I'll go for a ride with him and he'll show me how   Vehicle moved correctly This will certainly be really exciting, so it will definitely stay   The cars turn it, and I'll show you now which cars, tomorrow we'll all be there, we really have quite a few   some exciting cars, so I'll just go into the highlights now   For example, here is a 992 GT3 RS, we have 720S McLarens and actually from the 993 to 992 GT3 RS they are all there.   At the top there is a 996 GT3 RS and we even have a Dakar with us so I'm excited   The way something like this moves on the race track will certainly be funny everywhere you look   awesome cars. That's why I'm super hyped for tomorrow, I hope you are too. It will continue soon. We   Briefing: Racetrack rules We'll get a short briefing and then we'll go straight to the [music] tomorrow morning. [Applause] [Music] Racetrack. Yes, we are now at the Sachsenring this morning   really great weather, even though it rained all day and   Now there's a quick introduction and then we'll get straight to the track, so come on   With such a lovely good morning I'll try to speak standard German when you drive out   Now we're going to do the driving, just see what the line is like, we won't let ourselves   Dräen it's not about speeding, we just want everyone after these 10 or 12   Laps where we are driving now know where we are going outside rules of conduct if a faster one   Coming from behind, he either has the faster car or the better tires and better material   Every now and then, look in the rearview mirror where it's stress-free for you   Perhaps the advice given on the subject of overtaking has become so ingrained that we are always on the left   Overtake because it is a left-hand course but please also give time to those who are slightly slower   be a little considerate, don't slow down in any way, stick in, we all want to have fun   It's not about lap time and as I said, it's every inch of it   The most important thing is to save tires, gas and make everything clear quickly and have fun [applause] [Music]   So today we decided on the 992 GTS rear-wheel drive car is configured in chalk what   which looks really good and I'm curious to see how it drives on the road, luckily   We have dry conditions otherwise it has become a bit tricky without all-wheel drive but yes the the   Conditions are perfect today and it's going to be really warm and I think the track is warming up   Introduction: This is the Sachsenring This is going to be really cool so we're starting here on the run-in lap so we can just take a look at the route   Yesterday Walter already had the entry and exit points on the Sachsenring   Curves are marked so that we know when to enter the curve correctly and yes, I am now   I'm curious how to drive here properly because the route isn't that easy either   Walter said, for example, we are currently coming to the Omega from the Sachsenring, which is famously correct   I can never say how it drives, there is a curve that was B but I think it was W   then when we drive properly we find out or maybe he   Walter will also show us [music] later, so here's what we'll do for now   We're slowly trying to memorize the route a bit so that we can then drive properly Here we come down at real speed and here we go into the   90° curve where it goes up the mountain, that's a bit challenging I would say   because there's a lot of speed there and you have to brake completely here and then here drive up so here we have the gradient now is actually the   Fastest point on the track then down before the end of the curve you have around 240-250 kmh [Music] yes and if you also want to take part in one of our exclusive events then   Sign up for our newsletter, you can find the link in the description of the video   I'm looking forward to seeing you, so let's let off a little tire pressure now, we just had it on   from the back, almost 3 bar at the front, 2.7, it's just so heated up   and the tires are called up, which is why we make it approximately 2.6 bar at the back   and we are now running 2.3 bar on the front axle and we'll see how   the next few laps because the track will probably get even warmer   and the tire will heat up even more, we just have to watch it [music] First lap (slow) yes folks, we're on the first one here right now Round W wow wowow [music] [Music] Second lap (fast) So now we have just 992 GT3 RS behind us, now we have to pretty much   Accelerating because otherwise it's difficult, I'm excited but it puts me in a great mood [Music]   [Music]   [Music] [Music] [Music]   But here you notice something like, let me say, a quotation mark   Normal GTS can actually do it, so it's really crazy [Music] Well, that was the first lap at the Sachsenring, it was really brutal, as you can see   what a normal 992 can actually do and in the end we only had one   992 GT3 RS rear view mirror that was really tough but I think I fought pretty well   can and ultimately managed to not overtake us, so I'm excited   If Walter shows me again how to drive properly, what else can I get out of it? I can just speak to Walter, he said we can do it straight away   Walter Röhrl drives Go for a ride, it has started to rain but I think it will anyway   Really exciting, maybe he'll give the car a little sideways, I'm excited. Come with us, we're looking for him! Now it's starting slowly. I have rear wheel drive, yes. Thanks for making that work. Yes, I'm excited, but with the rain, yes, you need a lot of courage. You also have to be careful with the track because it is so fast. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Have you ever raced on the track? No, I didn't race. I only ever had courses. Okay, and once I was there for a sports car competition that involved lap times. Yes, with the Omega I noticed that if I cut in here and then move out again a little, the corner is cut well. Yes, if you drive straight ahead, stay about half a meter next to the pylon. Then you have a good radius. Okay, then I could have gone further out there, with the Omega. [Music] [Music] When it's dry, can you drive the passage at full throttle or do you have to take your foot off the gas? You have to be really careful when you take your foot off the gas. [Music] [Music] There's a lot of water coming down back there, right? Yes. [Music] [Music] How is that? Do you drive a different ideal line when it rains? Yes, that means, especially down here in the curve, it's best not to drive into the wet area, but around the outside. Okay, now I know. [Music] [Music] Have you driven in the rain before? Yes, I know the principle. [Music] But it's more dangerous if you get into water unexpectedly. If you're a passenger, there's not much you can do. [Music] [Music] [Music] What are the lap times here if you drive fast? With a car like that it's about 43, 44 seconds. You've really got the hang of it. Here is... [Music] [Music] Respect, when the electronics are turned off it's much clearer. But when electronics intervene, sometimes you don't know what's going on. So it's better if it's turned off. Thanks, exciting! Cool, respect! But as I said, you can't avoid physics, especially in weather like this. Yes, that is difficult. You have to drive with feeling, very gently and not accelerate too much. Like on the public street. You have to drive with foresight and see where it is wet. Otherwise you have no chance. Cool, great! I thank you. You're welcome! 98eratur great everything Good luck, yes, that was a lot of fun from our driver training on SAR   Sign up for the next event I think everyone else had it too, although we still had a bit of rain at the end   But that actually made it quite fun because then you could   Sometimes you could switch off the traction control and drive sideways a little   Get to know his car yourself and would be happy if you were there next time   As I said, just subscribe to our newsletter until next time, thank you
