You were driving very well and it always warms my heart when I see someone give chase to Erik and give him a hard time ;-) You really reel him in into T17
Not sure why, most years i'm actually faster in the dark then during the day, but this year i was definetely slower in the dark. Must be getting old

That 07 RS in front of you have a serious re-geared transmission, he upshifted 4 times when you shifted just 2, and your RS already has a short R&P.
Yeah, sequential shifters feel like cheating. The guy with the Viper ACR last month said he could not gain on me on the straights, and asked me if I had any modifications done to the car (power wise).

Gavin Riches GT3 needs to be compared to a cup in lieu of a standard GT3
I belive he is running 4.0 rear and re geared transmission. He is at the top of sixth entering T17 (I have been in his car before at Sebring). Complete interior strip, soild mount suspension, I think Motons, cup exhaust. It is the car he races in Targa New Zealand.
Here is an old video of it

Hi Guys Amy here, Gavin's girlfriend. Our GT3 RS has a 4.0 R&P and we have moved 5th to 6th and replaced 4th and 5th with shorter gears. 1st, 2nd, 3rd are standard. And of course we are running the Sequential Shifter which is fantastic when you are shifting 30 times a lap!

It's the same as an Oakley, but they do not actually make the Sequential Shifters. they are the UK importer for them. The same Identical Shifter in the US is called the AQ Sequential Shifter. They are all manufactured by SQS in Europe.

It is neat watching someone like Gavin navigate in an open passing session and still drive at the limit
