Default James Sofronas drives GOMEZ car at Willow Springs Raceway

What better way is there to know just how fast your car can go, than to let professional World Challenge Porsche driver James Sofronas do some hot laps it it!!!

James Sofronas strapping into the #343 GOMEZ RENNTRACK.COM car!











James Sofronas just did a 1:30 at Big Willow testing my car. He said the car has a lot more in it than that. Pretty clean line! Study it! I know I will! lol

Not quite the 1:20 he did in his GMG WC GT3 Cup Car, but its only a 997S.

Nice. I was there friday too, but @ streets. There were two 2010 GT3 Cup cars there, one of which was louder than hell. Never got old hearing them roar by.

1:30 is a freaking fast time in a 997S or 997 GT3, especially running what seems to be Toyo RA-1. Slicks from the GT3 Cup would easily drop another 3 secs/lap.

The car is a modified 997S & tires were Toyo Ra1's.

James also did a 1:27/1:28 in a 2010 GT3 with stock pilot sport cups too.

I believe Dino Cresenti did a 1:19/1:20 in his WC GT3 Cup car (I was told with a passenger in it!)
