That was pretty awesome! But this video should be titled "This Is What Happens When Your GT3RS Becomes Worth Too Much Money, You Turn Your Under-valued and Even More Rare GT2 Into A Race Car"

Actually that was probably the original title but it wouldnt fit on the cover of the book lol

They're testing settings and tyres for wet conditions here. Suspension takes those small jumps pretty nicely and did you notice the glow from exhaust pipes...?!

^+1, chassis looks very composed
almost wonder if its using an engine-based(spark retarding, cylinder cut, etc.) traction control giving it that heavy growl

WOW! C'est pas mal!

So this is how it gets done...hmmm...

I love how it tries to bite and fishtail when he gets on the gas! The true " Widow maker " !
