    Videos were taken on the E6 in Istanbul, Turkey. Outcomes, I found, were suprising. 550 has AFM exhaust,sounds glorious..

    Ok, took me a week to download.

    Apart from that, it al looks a bit tweaked...

    550 walks a bit easily from the 996 TT, and the M5 from the rest...not sure, everybody pushes really hard...
    Anyway, really fun to see You turks are having fun. I really enjoyed Istanbul....

    yea sorry,Rapidshare blows but hey its free.

    I agree with you. I think the 575 driver may have been in wrong gear, cause he was so busy trying to get everyone in line and honk etc. The m5 vs 360 from 0 really displays the weakness of F1 without LC i believe. But i think the 360 braked after he saw there was no chance to catch up.

    Fun anyway !

    Again, istanbul and surroundings are big fun, though i prefer Cairo, as it's more oriental :)

    Glad you like it. To me personally its the best city in the world. Cruising down the Bosphorous shore, through the costal suburbs on a late summer evening. Thats what im talking about.

    Sure that's nice.

    Frankly i enjoyed the city, though i might be biased, as i have quite some friends in Cairo^, while the few turksih guys i know live in Geneva !

    this doesn't seem to be that far off. I've seen videos of new m5s walking 550s and gallardos.

    remember it's a 7 speed gearbox and the top speed without limiter is rumored to be around 205mph.

    in the last video (against the 360) the guy hits the 270limiter so fast. I found that to be the most impressive thing in the videos about the car. But i think its too quiet. The 360 engulfs it completely with its exhaust :)

    How does the 550 pull so hard vs the e60, turbo & 575 in the second race ? The 575 has no show..What happened ? Wrong gear ?

    That's just my 2 cents, but from the noise, with the exception of the M5, nobody swaps at full RPM....

    that could be an explanation :D

    i highly doubt that. I dont think any Ferrari owner is gonna "let" himself be passed by someone else...especially in Turkey.

    FYI some of the videos are on Racingflix.com, for those who cant get em from rapidshare

    Hahaha, i like the remark....

    But again, from the sound, it doesn't sound very high pitched....so i don't know....
    Anyway, the M5 is a very fast car...maybe they made it so fast so we don't have to see its ugliness for too long :)

    Windows media player....

    on XP, it runs Divx, maybe you have win2k and need a divX codec...

    it seems pretty high pitched to me, and the shifts seem lightning quick. All things considered it was a good show by the 550. After that Gallardo vs 550 farse, which made the 550 look like a dog. This is much much better.Im just dissapointed with the 575. Im in contact with the guy who took these videos, if u guys have any specific questions lemme know ill pass it on

    I don't think the 550 is stock that's why the M5 didn't pull early. I don't know why you would be surprised about the M5 stomping all over the 360. It's not even a fair race.

    BTW the 550 was at full song when the M5 went bye bye.

    edit heres a much easier place to DL.

    Mail me and I send you the right codec packs to install.
    Be sure that your mailprotector allows me to send .exe files.

    All together just a few mb. henkie1000@planet.nl
