Default 992 GT3 Cup putting on a clinic at VIR!

The most entertaining and well driven fifteen minutes you'll see of a Sprint Series 992 GT3 Cup on a mission at VIR.

It's smart. Smart racing.

Yes, obviously knocked off the track, Turn 1/Lap 1 of the second race, but instead of getting mad, just put her head down and focused forward.

The patience to set the drivers up she wanted to pass is significant. You can see her hedging her bets on timing by the throttle pedal to go to WOT at the earliest point she won't have to pull it back, but before the person she passes gets to WOT.

Also, her discipline to stay WOT until just past the point where the overtaken driver does into the Turn 1 and Turn 13 braking zones, then modulate the brake pedal so so carries more speed deeper in the brake zone and closer to corner entry to control the corner and take away options from the overtaken car to turn in on her is significant.

It's quite remarkable also to see the consistency and lack of fibrillation on the brake pressure in the longer brake zones to maintain a consistent, high deceleration rate.

She's braking to what the car will do, most others are braking because that's what they THINK that the car will do.

Super educational for a lot of folks that want to go faster. It's really about the best execution of fundamental skills.
