Seems like 962 or at least 935 power, wow....

Brake points are easy for them - lift when you see the end of the straight, then brake when you can see the apex lol

God don't I wish a GTL car had that power!

I think my Turtle was the first car built for the GTL class. The JWE GTL cars have bodywork manufactured by JWE that is 993 RSR-ish and so they look like a lot of other cars. A number of modifications have been engineered to make the body panels easy to install. All of us make ~315 rwhp, the class minimum weight is 2350 (with driver) and the class has a spec tire (Hoosier Slicks). While we have fun, the monsters in the video are much faster than us. I feel like I'm driving a 944 when running against them.

My impression of the DP car from RA was that the driver was learning the car and the track. I was watching at one point when he came through Turn 5 and planted it nose first into the wall on the inside when he lost control.

This car is the fastest accelerating car I have ever raced against. It would put a good 40-50 car lengths on my 991 cup down front straight at road America.
