Summary

Three generations of Porsche filmed from a 964 Cup onboard; the 993's acceleration stands out, presumed turbocharged. A paid open pit-lane session after training at Porsche Zentrum Essen. Two tour buses at KESSELCHEN, and a rider's right-foot signal used in place of an indicator, are also recorded.

Original description — as written at the time

Onboard footage from a 964 Cup that caught three generations of Porsche. The acceleration of the 993 stands out above all. Judging by how it accelerates on the uphill right-hander after the bridge in the town of Adenau, I reckon it has been turbocharged. After the training at Porsche Centre Essen, on one of those pay-by-the-lap open pit-lane sessions, this looks like footage of running with mates who get on well. (there are pylons lying around all over the place) It is mostly about filming, so it slows down here and there. The highlight is that explosive turbo tune on the 993, I suppose. In Japan you almost never see a car like a 993 Bi-Turbo. Also, according to what I have been told, two buses appear at a corner called KESSELCHEN. (a tourist coach takes about 40 minutes round the Nürburgring) Just before overtaking the first tourist coach we pass two bikes, and the rider behind kicks his right foot out. On the rough surface of the Nürburgring it is dangerous to operate the indicators at 160KM, so this is apparently something often done instead of indicating.

ポルシェ3世代を捕らえた964CUPからのインカー映像中でも993の加速度がずば抜けています。アデナウの町の橋を通過後の右の登りコーナーでの加速度を見る限りターボ化していると思われます。ポルシェセンターエッセンのトレーニング後 1周幾らのフリー走行で気の合う仲間と一緒に走った動画シーンと思われます。（パイロンがAスペックに転がっているので）撮影中心で所々減速しています。見所は爆裂的な993のターボチューンですかね。日本では993BITURBOみたいな車両はほとんど見かけないので。なお情報によりますと KESSELCHENというコーナーでバス２台がでてきます。（ニュルは観光バスで走ると約40分） 1台目の観光バスを追い越す直前に２台のバイクを追い越しますが、後方のライダーが右足をけり出しています。これはニュルブルックリンクのあれた路面で 160KMの高速でウインカー操作をするのが危険なためウインカーの代わりによく行われる動作とのこと。

	late 1990s (estimated) estimated	Porsche 964 Carrera Cup	No lap time	Unknown	10:44	The 964 Cup as camera car, closing in on four cars over almost a full lap. Motorcycles and a tour bus appear as well — mixed traffic typical of the Nürburgring.
	late 1990s (estimated) estimated	Porsche 964	No lap time	Unknown	9:22	Anything-goes open pit-lane running at 15 EURO a lap. A motorcycle and an Impreza turn up part-way round, which made the high number of bike accidents easy to understand.
