[Video] 911 full-throttle at Road America | GRR
Can you remember what it feels like to be behind the wheel of a furious flat-six as you scream around a sun-soaked circuit? Us neither…
At least we can get some idea with this epic onboard courtesy of our friends over at Historic Sportscar Racing. Climb behind the wheel of the Green Bean as the driver Brady Refenneing hustles it around Road America.
But this isn’t any 993. Under the bodywork of this 1976 911 is a part tube-frame chassis, a 3.4-litre race engine and the transmission from a GT3 (if we had to guess, from the gear lever we’d say it’s been pulled from a 997). The pace of the lap makes a little more sense now…
Watch the metrics as Refenneing cuts a fast line around the four-mile, 14-turn circuit during the 35th edition of the Elkhart Lake Vintage Festival, over a weekend in late September 2020.
