Nice vid. I would suggest though that you did early apex alot of the turns, and probably would have been able to pass him earlier if you apex a bit later which would allow you earlier throttle thru the turn. I do that sometimes when trying to catch a car ahead of me which causes me to actually lose my line

Great video. Great driving. I know from experience that it is very hard to see anything that is right behind you when you are in a Gallardo coupe but he still should have gotten out of your way. That looks like a fantastic track to run.

- no, it also fits the narrow body gt3 - i have it on my car, you also need to order the 2 rubber bushings to fit over the larger bar

- Part Number for the rear bar is 997.333.701.94
- Part Number for the bushings is 997.333.792.94 (you need two)

Replied

I think i managed a couple of Sub 8's last Summer, but nothing to back it up yet, it terms of footage.

I'll be doing the Manthey Trackday 19th May, so hope to get some good footage then


Take it easy out there


Quick Reply: Some track footage followin a Superleggerra.
