Man, I can't believe you let that red CGT pull away from you so quickly, not once, not twice, but three times!

Nice vid! I don't track my car so this is not an "educated" comment, but you had a few good "saves" there! If I were to go to VIR, after my first session, I know that they would owe me money for keeping the grass "nicely manicured!"

It's not me, my brother is teasing saying Porsche drivers can't drive. I tried to explain that it has to be that guy's first time, I hope.

Appears to be an "instructor" in the passenger seat. Or maybe someone on a ride along.

But at the same time, it appears it was not the driver's first time.

Pretty tough for a first time driver to save like that and that often.

Cool video...looks like the driver had problems at the same corner combo (left-left) on each go around (btw I am not familiar with the track layout at VIR so I do not know what corner numbers they are).

In regards to the CGT...damn that thing can move but then it should.

Thanks for sharing.

Interesting that the left left gave that guy so much trouble... it's almost like he was trying to slide/drift the car on purpose...... or else he's just missing his braking point every time .

I sure hope that all the guys that went off track, exited, pulled all the stones out of their rim beads and checked their cars.

Were they handing out free beer that day? I don't see that many screw ups in a whole season.

The guy driving the 993 needs to learn how to feed in throttle at the apex (watch the graphic when it's there). You'd think after encountering oversteer that many times, he'd have figured it out.
