So did GTB drivers get slower YoY, GTC faster, or both?

In PCA the tail end of every class always intermixes with the fast drivers of the next slower class in addition to the fact that comparative lap times will be composed of very different sector times. My expectation is that Mo will be one of the faster GTB1 drivers, hence my comment. To clarify:

Race 1 last year:


Race 2 last year:

thanks! Great and telling videos! Great driving! I got crashed into at road america which left me with a pretty bad handling car going into to the enduro which started me behind a few GTC3 cars. They held me up really badly which really ruined the race for me. I’d get by them then anyplace between 14-1, 3-5, kink-12 I’d get passed and held up. Eventually I got away but it was too late to catch the front runners in our class. The fast GTC3 guys are obviously quicker than us by a fair amount but the middle and slower GTC3/4 guys really can be a challenge. Looking forward to VIR! I’ll be lucky to just learn the track and chase you fast guys 🙂!

praying for no rain too! I’d have to get rain tires on the spot! Otherwise some old street rubber will have to do! Plus watching Franklin kick *** in the rain makes me realize we’d be in big trouble if he was on actual rain tires!

Maybe best not to looking at spread of fastest lap times within GTC3 and GTB1...

Hey, all good fun here Frank and I know dumping on Cup drivers is a favorite pastime on Rennlist but reality of club racing is there are fast and slow, experienced and inexperienced drivers in all classes. Learning to manage this in mixed-class racing is part of the craft and the fun.
