Fantastic! New glass? Please share the specs... I like camera gear almost as much as Porsche's!

A Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6 zoom. I needed it, no, I wanted it, for airshows later this year. It's almost too much zoom for a track like VIR but I needed time to learn how it handles. It's a steep learning curve!

Thank you!

No seat time for me this time around. Some random thoughts:

One of the yellow cars is running 19" BBS CH wheels with a spacer in the back and Hoosier tires.

One of the white cars is running Sparco seats with a harness bar across the back and no overhead hoop. I have some photos of that setup and will post them later.

All 6 GT4's are being driven in either the advanced group (black) or instructor group (red). Obviously very experienced drivers and track rats. No one in the lower groups with a GT4 (yet). If I was driving I'd be the only green guy with one!
