Here is a short clip from the 2nd floor of the event center. A little shaky, but still cool. It's not often I get to see what it looks like from the outside.

RL'er 87_944s first race ever in SP3, up from SP2 in a car he never drove in anger.
Car he is up against is a much more developed 968 which won two Porsche 944 Supercup championships.
Car he is in is a stock 1992 with sway bars and Hoosiers, half the rear wing components missing and running MO30 option Koni street shocks on the front....
He had to grab this car by the neck to run the pace of this aero 968 -

Classic battle of Aero vs non-Aero -- hard to keep up with him in the corners -- but much greater straight-line speed -- only to have to give it up in the braking zones.
Wow -- that was a 13/13 waiting to happen. Not sure how you missed clipping him on the 3-wide dive bomb.
Also shows the speed differential of 3.0L vs 2.5L passing the SP1's.

How was the Australian pursuit? Seemed like there were only 3 laps on RaceMonitor. Only 12 cars involved too -- if that's the case -- not much to keep you there another day.

There seemed to be some issues with getting the info to Racemonitor and Racehero the whole weekend. Not sure what the problem was. The Aussie pursuit ran 14 laps and ended up with the first starting car winning by quite a large margin. Max Energy #13 GT6 got the win.

I'm just an ex-racer and glorified grease monkey...

TheThe Aussie race was fun. As mojo said, it was 14 laps. I think we had 28 cars in the race. The few cup cars ended up starting 5+ min behind the first car.
