Default Video of 700hp GTR/ 700hp Vette & my RS @TWS..

Here is a video of my second time in the RS at TWS. Fast forward to about 6:00 min. Had a great run with a 700 hp GTR & Vette.. you can see how hard they pull me on the straights, but I managed to hold my own.. I'm starting to get used to the RS...

The cost of turbo's and an extra 800lbs

Tires, Temps, or Brakes or all three. When they are that heavy and pushing that much hp. They are not good for more than a handful of laps at a time (if that). The ones in this area, fall off dramatically after 2-3 laps.

Nice Driving.

Problem is with the AF, at certain times the camera is hunting for focus points
since it's moving around a little.

I would say:
- way to far away from the steering wheel
- hand(s) change position on steering wheel
- to much head movement
But - having fun is the key
