Seems that you had a lot of fun! Very nice engine sound and - from what I can see - your 1984 928S Euro auto is in fine clean shape.
And for the Dutch among us: piepende banden hoort bij het racen.

What a great track. Nice job in keeping it smooth inputs, not ratcheting the wheels around the corners, etc. Just keep working at it, build up to manually shifting your A/T, get the hang of left foot braking, you'll get to the point where you can make those GT3's work for those passes.

Keep going back, you will get faster with each event. Read some books too. It will help A LOT now that you have had your first track event. "Going Faster" is my FAV go fast manual for learning and re-learning!
I love the track, but have not been in awhile, I am hoping that late this fall or early next spring I will be back in action!

Hey thanks for the nice comments everybody! I thought I'd be the laughing stock driving like that I'll make movies more often!
I did had a great time. Very exciting to do for the first time. Quite a different experience than driving normal. Especially the corners, you really get pulled to one side and wonder if your car will stay under control. And zig-zagging over the whole pavement and getting taken over left and right is weird too. Great fun.
I'll add a photo and a 911 skid from a car in front of me at the top. Low-res, but perhaps interesting.
