what stuck out to me in that video, is that no matter how amazing the car, heavy weight and cold and/or overinflated tires both conspire to make the handling ****ty, especially in a tight course like that.

Last Friday I was on the Porsche track, in a 911 Turbo S, then I tried a Boxter GTS, then Saturday in a 911 Turbo S on the International circuit. What a car. It rained in the afternoon, but didn't spoil it, doing 142mph down the hanger straight not being able to see much from spray in front was exhilarating to say the least.
There were some professional race drivers getting some tuition from some 70's F1 driver, they were in an M2.
Shows just what a different league these guys are in, they just left us mere mortals for dead. On bends in the wet, in a rear wheel drive car against a 4 wheel drive 911.

That was fun to watch...super quick hands...but drivers are drivers...I love how F1 to club racing...everyone is the same...like a little kid having the time of your life no matter what you are driving on track.

When they gave us November for the Performance course we hoped it wouldn't rain, actually I was happy with it, since a artic pulled out on me in the rain some years ago I have always backed well off in it on roads.
Unfortunately Porsche wouldn't let me take my dash cams in the car.
My son has an MR2 turbo , its just about ready to do some tracks. although Silverstone's a bit far for it until we get a trailer.
