A little bit of history from Carl Rydquist´s driving career, from beating 1000 contestants in the Eurosport Super Racing Weekend Challenge 2001 (gocarts) and winning the 2001 Swedish Endurance 8h/12h GT Racing Cup (Porsche 964 RS), to notching up podium finishes visiting the Junior Touring Car Championship 2002 (Volvo S40 Racing) and the Scandinavian Sportscar Challenge 2003 (Radical, sportscar prototype). From then on it´s all Porsches - Carl won the Swedish Endurance 3h GT Racing Championship in 2004 (Porsche 993 RSR), became the runner-up in the same championship 2005 (996 GT3 Cup), then went on to be the first Swede to ever win the Zandvoort 500 that same year (996 GT3 RS), had a 9th in class finish at the 35th annual 24 hours of Nürburgring 2006 (996 Cup) and qualified 18th out of well over 200 cars in the 24 hours of Nürburgring 2007, running in the top 10 in the race before the engine broke down (996 GT3 RS). The video also shows footage from sponsor events, track days, Carl's everyday work as a chassis test engineer, precision driving for Volvo Cars and magazines, tuning work for a World Record holder's sports car project (930 Turbo) and some behind the scenes footage never released before.
