BTW, It would appear that the mustard was crossed frequently as well. Far greater concern, at least from the camera angle in your T and the front left wing (fender). 🤦‍♂️ Excessive speed, crossing the mustard, off road excursions, and frequent fatalities are why there is a good presence of TN/NC LEOs at TOD.

Also, the RS was staying within the lines and clearly held up by people in front quite often. Your dad going over the double yellow and off the road, hitting a pothole, was pretty terrible.

Wow…Good drive! Felt like I was in the car with you guys. The GT2 was so planted you guys kept right on his *** for the most part. 👍

Did the car suffer any?

Yeah, there was a few, but I think my pops only did that when he had a clear line of sight to do so. a rock went into the wheel well, but my pops were pushing the car to keep up. we did not go off into the grass.
It was close, and looks like we were about to from the camera angle.

Yeah, I cannot take credit for being behind the wheel, it was all my dad, but there was no damage, just a rock hitting the wheel well, so everything was all good, thank you for asking!
But as you can see from the vid my dad was pushing the car.
We were also on PS4s
The GT2RS was on cup 2s

the RS did go over the line multiple times, and you must not have watched the whole video as even when we were not interrupted my dad was staying behind the RS.
I am not saying my dad was in the right going over the lines, but we were not the only ones doing it.
The first was not a pothole, a rock was kicked up into the wheel well.
The second, we didn't go off the road, we were close to it, but the tire didn't go off the road. my dad was able to barely get the tire on the asphalt before the grass.
seems like your judgment is biased in favor of the RS

Certainly two of you in one car made a difference too. Could you see if the guy in front was solo? Yeah, your dad kept a good line.

He was solo, we pulled in the the Tail hub and the RS came later, it was one person inside, we were able to talk to the person and he was a great guy
His car was wrapped oslo blue, it was speed yellow underneath.

Keep at it fella! My sister in-law makes handmade / hand painted pottery professionally. Lots of artists in family from that to concept car designer. I consider my mad turntable skills on the 1s & 2s art also, ha. Some gifts she’s given me in past….

Here’s a pic of a concept car designed by one of my family member’s team way back in the day….

Agreed Vernin. I have been on TOD many, many times, both on Motorcycles and Auto's and that was a very precise, controlled and fast drive by your Pops. Especially considering he basically stayed right with the RS the entire time! Tell him great job from someone who has driven that road quite often.
