Nurburgring vs American Karussell | 911 GT3 RS vs RX-8

Comparison video between the famous Nurburging Nordschleife Karussell corner and the North American Summit Point Shenandoah Karussell. The video of the Nurburgring was captured during a lap record in a Porsche 911 GT3 RS tuned by Manthey-Racing (MR) on Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R competition tires driven by Kevin Estre. The Mazda RX-8 in the North American version is a daily driven Mazda RX-8 that is mostly stock and on budget performance tires (Kumho V730). The Shenandoah Karussell is claimed to be a dimensional replica, as close to the Nurburgring version as possible, down to the concrete surfacing, banking, and diameter.
