since i am a regular on GT3 board, i thought i post it here.
it's a mixed class race with some trans am 600hp +
the short vid is the last two laps of the race
but there are three BSR comrade racing each other in a sprint 8 lap race.
the track is thunderhill (CA)
taken from my friends car, also a BSR.
race one, white car passed me., of course, i wont post that LOL.
this race i got lucky, qual'd well and stayed front.
i am in blue car ahead.
my other buddy is in the hard charging white car, who won the previous race.
it was a close race, at some point we were bumper to bumper...

^ trust me, it's fun.
if i got more dough, i would race a cup car. short of cup car, i keep my BSR.
of course a 400hp boxster would make me smile to no end.

I have tabs on "I told you Mooty was getting a CUP car" :-)

Thanks for posting that film, looks like fun if you are into that racing kinda thing ;-) Your laps in the distance make it look like a relaxed DE day :-)

Great video of TH and the BSR's. Looks like a lot of fun but I'm not willing to part with my only comparative advantage which is a lot of horsepower and torque.
