I was giving rides most of the weekend, but when I was not I could barley get below 2:25......and in that heat did not feel like pushing it, below 2:25 I would be doing the pitch and catch game in a few corners....also my LSD is getting worse and worse, and dont have your skills so need to brake in a straight line. I tried braking at the flagstand in 17 once and scared the crap out of myself
I did get a chance to drive my students GT2RS (after almost puking when he was driving it). I thought about doing a GT3RS to GT2RS review......but not sure I need to feed Reter anymore popcorn. My simple review is, Porsche can have their boost....I dont want it
Ian.....PM me your email address, I'll send you data and the next date we all plan at being at Sebring (you can mooch many rides with me just get me faster than erik)......we can get some solid data on my car then. I just need to make sure Erik will be there, I need a video of him pointing my car by (even if it is not me driving)

That was untill I rode in your old car and remembered how brutal the power was. The whole time I was riding in it I just kept thinking.... "was this thing this fast when I drove it?" Of course when your in the driver seat you don't think about the power. They always need more don't they? I need to give that new GT2RS a try.

Randy just have Ian wear your helmet so Erik thinks it's you as he fly's by and then have him pit and you sit in the car and when Erik comes into the pits...see you in the car...it's all good! LOL

You'll never get by. I'm going to be taking blocking lessons from Reter. Last time out he was better then Webber in blocking and weaving. I'm not worried :-)

Problem is that bright orange. Erik makes sure there are always at least 2 mirrors filled with orange to make sure it it in the corner of your eye for maximum distraction.

orange mist intimidation tactics.
be careful guys! having one eye on the road and the other on the mirrors, can end in tears for both parties. it's top fun, yes, and i have lol'd heavily while being in the zone, but concentration needs to be paramount.

yeah i know. it's hard because it's just so, so much fun running in close formation in a group.....but **** can happen in a split-second and there's little headroom left to make an alteration to your line.

when i start laughing in the car, is when i wake up and realise that i'm not focussing 100% at the job at hand, and 90% ain't good enough. that's when you back off....and cool out for a bit. let the train go.

If I make two mistakes the session is over, I just pull in
