The over under at the parabolica. Classic trackday driving.

I don't see too much wrong with it. The inside pass on the GT-R was a bit close. If you've been to a track day in Europe, especially Italy, that's pretty much the norm.

Only thing missing is the latte...



On a serious note the 650 seems to be able to toy with the gt3.

Italian free for all, complete with necessary hand gesturing. Clearly they are all driving FLATOUT.

No way I would be part of that event. Different cars and different skills all mixed together, with hand gestures all over, and a 650S that can't turn at all. Some cars were doing 60 mph perhaps. A few misses, thankfully. this spaghetti is not for me

Until he attempts to late brake with the GT3 and misses the corner. Something about 650 hp and All carbon Fiber lightness seem to show the benefits of power/weight ratio. It would walk away from TUDOR cars if acceleration was the only aspect of racing. Crazy fast turbo acceleration. Need a GT2RS to compare.

If I was on track with this guys antics , words (possibly more ) would be exchanged ... In uk the guy would have been black flagged and warned ..no matter how good you are you can never judge the guy infronts ability skill level and awareness ...this guy is just an accident waiting to happen...

Seems like an awesome track day. Every body here gets so uptight. Would love to be there. I drove Monza in July but there weren't that many cars out there. Can't wait to do more European tracks.

Doesn't seem any different than the open passing groups I've run with. I wouldn't personally have taken some of those passes, but there are others who are totally comfortable with doing so. At least the guy in the video knows how to drive well, unlike that z06 vs gt3 video. That Mclaren got the red mist and went in way too hot, but knew how to drive straight off instead of trying to save it and cause a disaster.

I instructed for some of the first Viper Day events. Those were truly Roller Ball rules events. Sort of made the above look on the tame side.

Default reflex...

I liked the reflex around the 9:35 mark where he comes out of a corner and reaches to shift up and then realizes he isn't driving a stick....
