Was that in your cab? Brings back memories of my roadracing days, 8 years hundreds of events, motorcycles, Supersport, Superbike, Formula.
Looks like he had motor on you but you were braking later, you'd nearly catch him in the turns.

Ok......what the heck was a SUV doing out there? If you liked the day..welcome to the "slope". Tires, pads, suspension. Looks like you had a great time! +1 on riding with an instructor. Get as many rides with them as you can. The first time I rode with one he made look at his feet going around the course. I almost saw my breakfast for the second time. Bet you were giddy...yes? My first DE of the season is in 2 weeks and I'm driving the course in my sleep.
I'm too much of a newb to weigh in - BUT you'll see in the video just before I pass the Cayenne that my instructor is reminding me NOT to follow him or get distracted by him. The thing is massive, blocked my view and was distracting...

That 911 was fast on the straights - but after lap 7 he had to give it up to the 996! You'll see at 2:51 on the video he goes wide on that turn - and that was just enough for him to have to give up that lead....

Nice vid!!! It was a hoot to see the Cayenne out there... I had always wanted to take my Cayenne turbo to the track but never did. I think it would have done pretty well for an SUV, especially as an SharkWerks tuned Turbo!
