Wow! 2 things come to mind...1 if you can't run with the big dogs...stay on the porch. 2 throttle commitment! ...I could not even dream that.

I had to stop and rewind a few times " did he really stay full throttle through that..."

ridiculously good driving but also a great willingness to take risk…..

Confidence and competence can overcome a lot of risk...

Impressive how Manthey has mastered the skill to optimise GT cars. Been there last Monday and got my GT4 optimised, great people. And Lars Kern did a terrific job, I like his driving style much better than Kevin Estre’s who drove the GT3RS lap.

These supercars are just getting crazy fast. And that was a hell of a lap!

Love the driving. Short and smooth on brakes, quiet hands and soo early on throttle..
A thing of beauty.

Michelin Cup tires R compound, KW coilover suspension, different brake pads and hoses, wing at steep angle, I believe that‘s it. Manthey typically transforms cars by doing a proper set up....
