Default Video 996 GT2 on Semis on Track
Having fun warming up the tyres, then a hot lap (for me) in a 911 996 GT2 at Sydney Motorsports Park, Australia recently. Re the first lap, we both had pretty cold tyres at that point. I'm on stock suspension, semi slicks.

That looks awesome, and you did very well keeping up with a car with full slicks! And the new Eastern Creek is awesome!

^ OP definitely drives the better line, getting to apexes, etc. Other driver does use all the track,... and then some

Putting the power down from apex in that beast seems exciting, lol...

Well done!

My fav part was the big save right at the end. Quick hands. And the laughter afterwards.

Love seeing another fellow GT2 owner drive it to its true potential

Great videos, enjoyed it, good driving, love the ending That's natural instinct , something you are born with no matter how much skill you develop!

I'm a total beginner, and this is no where near as exciting as your video

but, here's my GT2 requiring some "unwinding" of the wheel.
