Whilst some may see 924 racing as the 'poor' relation when watching from the trackside, this vid may put a different perspective on it. My mate Karl is in the red and white 924 in second place before sliding past into first. Watch how much these guys are pushing these cars around that you often don't see from a far. Karl got 1st spot in both races. Top weekend for him

Towards the end of this race 1 see how the Boxsters start to elbow their way through, quite literally!!

Awesome stuff! Are those 2l turbo cars or just na? Those 6 cylinder boxsters aren't exactly running away are they...

2.0 NA's. Karl's aim per race is not to be lapped by a few of the faster Boxster S. Depends on track. Only just started a get lapped towards the end of the 20 minute session. The 924's did overtake a slower Boxster in the video.

Yep, he had a new suspension set up and it gave more confidence to push harder

Loved the action.
Karl was superb at placing himself in the way but fast enough to stay in contact until an opportunity arose to take the lead.
The 924 is way better than it looks on paper.
Thanks for showing the vid. :D
