Mace is less dangerous for trakcar

It's like cars, I don't intent on cleaning or maintaining, I outsource that part. Just driving. Just shooting. With shooting I will need max cheating, laser guided and spray bullits.

Or a diet.

996 cups are 1:15s I think

And to put it in perspective, Leh Keen did a 1:15 at RR in a street M3. He is not human of course.

Thin people have sleep apnea also. I'm not over weight and have it. True, though losing weight can often cure it as well as providing other health benefits leading to longer life span.

Hope you're feeling better now

I think that they will also do the latter decades, as a possible buildup to the 12 Hours? I subscribe to the ALMS newsletter, and get regular updates. That is where I saw this vid.

The 60th anniversary of the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring Fueled by Fresh from Florida gives us a chance to look at America’s greatest sports car race through the years. We start today with the 1950s.

It was largely a decade of battles between Jaguar, Ferrari and Maserati. But the first three years were won by Frazer Nash, Cunningham (in the first FIA World Sports Car Championship event) and OSCA (driven by Sir Stirling Moss).

Check back over the course of the next month for more Sebring retrospectives…

I believe he ran a 16.9-17.0 in the M3 on sport cups which is hauling the mail for sure.

Just for reference here are some other lap times for RRR.
Nissan GTR on super sports 14.7
2010 997 cup 9.1 gen2
2009 997 cup 10.1 gen1
2005 996 cup 10.6
997 GT3 RS Gen 1 R888 w/ big passenger low 18
993 twin turbo (suspension and mild hp mods yoko slicks) 14.2
997 GT2 (tpc hp mods on hoosiers) 15.9
spec Boxster R888's 21.4
Grand-Am ST class 987 boxster mid 18's

I'm still faster through that section but I fear my days are numbered. We need Traqmate data to see who has the highest ultimate speed through Bishop's in terms of equipment...
