Welcome back.
After a week off for some r&, ITTFRP is back with a step by step lesson in dancing the Ring as taught by none other than the legendary Hans Joachim Stuck.
Hans Joachim Stuck
The sun of a legend, Hans Stuck was born for racing glory. His father taught him to drive on the Ring. His first race was in 1969 at the Ring and in 1970 he won the 24 hrs at the Ring in a BMW 2002 TI. He would go on to win the 24 hrs at the Ring two more times in BMWs. Stuck also made his mark in prototype racing with the dominant Porsche 962 Endurance team of the 80′s.

Currently, Hans is a spokesman and occasional driver for BWM. Which brings us to today’s video.
How about a well guided tour and driving lesson in a modern BMW GTR ride. All kinds of mashing of un-synchronized dog clutched gears, solid differential,screaming v-8 and carbon fiber brakes with Stuck’s commentary giving us an inside view of the ring from someone who knows it even better than Sabine Schmitz even if he does not look as good.
Do Not Fail To Turn It Up!
As a closer, check out this video of Mr Gymkhana himself, Ken Block, explaining the meaning of the word “Hooning”. Block gives a good explanation but the best part is, if you listen closely, Stuck’s, who is sitting in the Auto Union Silver Arrow Grand Prix car driven by his father, reply to Block asking him if he will Hoon the Audi.
See ya next Thursday with more Ring Porn….
