Hope you enjoy!

How interesting. Nothing to hit if you leave pavement. Do cars dig into sand and flip? . Is it rocky? Never saw this track.

Never seen a car flip there and I have been to this track about 6 weekends (12 track days), but not to say it can't happen.

They are about to add another 3.1 miles of track with some high speed straights and will be able to connect the 2 tracks together so total lap will be 6 miles.

I have seen a few cars filled up with the desert dust, but the loose stuff seems to just let the cars slide and spin freely. I enjoyed driving the track and will do it again when I get back to CA. I do recommend you tape up everything you care about. I ruined a brand new windshield when I was there.

Alain I'm going to hand you the best advice you've ever heard. Ready? Get your *** to the grid the moment the group in front of you goes out. You left seconds (not fractions) on the table because you were stuck behind slower traffic. Get out first and don't give it up next time. You drive well and were very consistent. I see you turning 55's....

Yes for sure but being this is was my first day in Red group I have no idea the driving styles of the other drivers like I did for the Orange group that I been in the last year and safety is top priority to me above my lap times.

Not to mention there is a couple drivers in the Red group that like to start drama with me because of the car I drive so not trying to go down that road since I joined the Porsche Club of America, not the Women's Club of America (no offense to any women )

I am sure though it won't take long for me to figure them out and then will be able to push a little harder.

My favorite misogynistic part is where you intend to throw out an insult and then say, "no offense". You can always tell how big a dick a person is by that alone.

Are you aware you drive a quarter million dollar GT3RS with the most horsepower, best suspension and best electronics available to a P car? The car practically drives itself and maximizes available grip thousands of times a second via the electronics. You don't even use the paddle shifters and leave it in automatic!!. Tell us, do you practice heel and toe on the PS4? Do us all a favor Alain and jump in someone else's analog car with no ABS and for a session or two and let us know how that goes. I'm sure you will be just as fast as you are in the RS

Wow.... You haven't posted on RL in 3-1/2 years and come back to call someone a dick and question their driving skills because they're piloting an incredible car? Whatever's wrong with you please go away again for another 3 1/2 years until you become less judgemental and can offer some beneficial advise. You just sound bitter....

Has it been 3.5 years? Didn't seem that long, but thanks for researching that John, very creepy of you indeed -- I guess when you're overseas in a remote area, being on RL isn't exactly a priority and sometimes it's better to just keep your mouth shut.

There's no beef with you John, I'm sure Alain can pull up his big boy pants and speak for himself especially after remarks on a public forum about other drivers and then insult about 50% of the population. I'm pretty certain some of those females in the Women's Club of America could show Alain a thing or two - in his incredible car or not. No one's questioning the car's ability, in fact, it's just the opposite, that car is doing most of the work. Like me put it like this.... it's like the guy born on 3rd base, but truly believes he hit a triple.

Well, you did put up a "hey look at me" video, didn't ask for constructive criticism, and then showed a little less than a sense of humility.. you have to expect a negative post, this is Rennlist!
