Some great driving, and a few interesting cars as well, such as the yellow
Alfa Montreal that blows away early on.  He’s pretty much kicking butt on
everybody.  Dramatically different course, certainly more manageable from a
safety and spectator perspective.

Hi guys,

Surfing the internet I stumbled across this video, showing Dr Martin Jörgens
racing his well-known blue with white stripes Pantera at the Oldtimer Grand
Prix at the Nürburgring:

Note that this is the 'new' course, not the old mountain course.  The in-car
telemetry is interesting.  I think he may have a taller 5th gear installed,
as the rpm drop between gears is fairly pronounced.

There are links to other videos from previous years, different events etc.
on the side.

This car is a standard USA L-model that was imported to Germany a few years
back, completely gutted, and turned into a race car by Willi Braun.  His
company, De Tomaso Tuning, specializes in race-preparing Panteras and
Mangustas, and building killer street cars (no bling to be found here!)
Here's his company website:

Good stuff!

Mike
