Balls of steel - one of the greatest driving videos remaster

Post by Jonttt »

Recipe:

- RUF CTR yellow bird (fastest production car in the world at the time, a beast to drive)
- a driving genius
- the best driving circuit in the world
- pair of Sunday loafers and white socks

Result: a childhood dream.....

What a coincidence it should get remastered as that dream is fulfilled :D

"Not only is this movie seminal, original and one of the greatest bits of automotive history to ever be committed to tape. It's also one of the reasons why many of us just love the Nürburgring (and brown loafers).
I am, of course, referring to the RUF CTR Yellow Bird promo video starring the Stefan Roser. Something that was shown in a handful of dealers and the kind of thing for which you'd mail a carefully prepared self-addressed envelope to Pfaffenhausen, Deutschland.

And now Japanese video masters Option Auto have got hold of an original tape and uploaded it to youtube in the best quality they can. Prepare for over 16-minutes of 1080p "

Enjoy.......
