Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately the GT3 in Oak Green Metallic found the wall in turn 4 at Road Atlanta. I’ve tried to erase it from memory. This is GT4 #2 for me.

It speaks volumes to me that you came back to a GT4...

GT3 has a beast of an engine and everything felt so huge.....it's trying to kill you. The GT4 fits me much better. Gear box, clutch and rev matching is superior. Cabin is tight and steering is nimble. I couldn't get a faster lap out of my GT3 at three different tracks anyway.

...and that rear steering. WTF.

Oh that's just awful Joe, do you mind telling us what happened, were the nanny aids on?

Welcome back to the GT4 fold, like Jimmy said, it speaks volumes.
Interesting you weren't any quicker in the GT3.

Thanks all... no worries. I'm all good. I was on the track when another RL member went off in his GT3 on turn 4 at Road ATL last year. Thought how that was an odd place, left side before the esses... and then fast forward a few months and mine went off there too.

Wasn't even really pushing it. 3rd session of the morning, everything warm and the car just kept going left - *** end into the wall. Engine block cracked. Total loss - but Ben and the crew at Open Track took good care of me. It sold at a local auction.

Told a PEC instructor about it and he stared at me for a bit - then told me about someone at ATL PEC who put a GT3 into the wall, *** end first, on their tiny track. There was some discussion on how that one happened too.

Anyway - found this CPO GT4 ver 2 in NC and had to snag it. No track time yet...but I did see it made it into this month's Peachstate PCA mag!

Wow, it appears that track and the GT3 are not a good combo. Glad you're OK Joe and really happy for you and your new car.
All the best to you.

New to me Birch Green GT4, very hard to photograph. Here's an iPhone edit by me and a professional photographer edit.
