Default 918 Hot Lap at Road America

Well trying to stir the pot here with some 918 experiences. Road America is built for the 918 and vice versa. I've run at other shorter midwest tracks but this place is really special. Car in "hot lap" mode. Enjoy the video if I can link it in correctly.

Very cool Car57. Thank you for sharing. Did you request your car have a "Black" color Salzburg striping? Never saw that before. Salzburg striping is Red and from what it appears you have Black Salzburg string. Very cool if it was done in Black. One of for sure.

Drive safe,

I did ask if the Salzburg stripes could be done in black and Stuttgart said yes. There are just a few out there that I know of. Wanted a black and white theme with red interior. Did custom white wheels from factory too but use black Forgeline for track. Also ran my 991 GT3 RS (lava orn) which is so balanced at the track. Unbelievably good tire and brake pad wear. Sadly racing season is over!

LOVE the white wheels! The black graphics helps to break it up so that it's not "white over-load". Well done.
