Default GT3 clubsport video on French track Dijon Prenois

It was a really good day, time laps are geeting better and better.

Did 300 kms during the dat, was a bit disapointed with the Toyo R888, i personally prefer Michelin PS cup...

Enjoy the magical Flat6 sound!

Bien joue! J'aime beaucoup le pseudo "Biturbal"!

Can you tell us what the rules are in France? It looks like you don't need a point-by, and you can pass anywhere. How many groups are there, etc... Merci!

Merci!

In france, you can pass everywhere, slower cars let you pass when you're really faster, and sometimes, you need to fight ! And i like that !!

Very cool to be authorized to race "like" competitors, passing on the right, on the left etc...

Thumbs up

Congrats Smookey! I like your lines and your gear shifting, although the brakes are not in the play quite often

May I ask for the actual top speed/gear selection at the end of the straight line before braking and turning into the fast right sweeping bend? There might have been quite a few track-attackers seeing your rear wing at that day

thank you man!

I'm about 255 km/h at the end of the straight line, when i brake hard....you can't miss that point if you want to turn corrctly into the fast right lol

True that many people saw my wing, but it's my second time there, so i think i have 2 or 3 seconds to win practicing the track several times....

Thanks for your comment!

Marvelous video quality -- what camera mount? I don't know the T900, but I'm wondering how you avoiding wind noise.

As for the driving, you're certainly confident and smooth! Impressive relative speed with other cars like the green 997.1 RS and Gallardo (Superleggera?)

With so much traffic, there's no use "critiquing" your driving, but it does seem you're "cruising" between throttle and brake rather than going from full throttle to full brake ... perhaps this was just to preserve the car and to retain some safety margin.

I have a black one too and I have to say, while it's a constant chore to keep it looking that good, seeing yours makes me question why I'm selling mine to "update" to the "new" one. : ) The grass is always greener!
