Nice driving Johan. The "new" car really goes, and it is fun to see how hard you drive it.

Thanks for the video, and that is some great driving. It appears that you took a different line then the Ferrari's, and that must have been an incredible blow to their egos

Nice. Were they just Challenges with wings, or 360GT's?

Nice helmet too, have you seen the 09 models?

Also, I would suggest looking into a wide angle lense, it would make for much better videos.

Larry. "Nice driving Johan. The "new" car really goes, and it is fun to see how hard you drive it." Thank you for your kind words.

morganabowern. "and that must have been an incredible blow to their egos" I did forward the clip to the Ferrari mafiosi. They have not yet responded. But then again, they are a bit slow.

anologmike. "That is one torquey engine!!!" 600 Newtons or 450 ft/lb.

95m3racer. "Nice. Were they just Challenges with wings, or 360GT's?" I don't know. I passed them too quickly to check. (They are 360's). Thanks for the comment on the vide angle I shall comply with the next video.

Below is the link in 2005 with my 2.7 whilst racing against Thomas Reib (cookieporsche) in his 3.8. This shows that I was able to hold my own until we hit the main straight. The 3.5's / 3.6's just came flashing past. I always enjoy watching this clip as it shows the apparent chaos in the cockpit of racing cars.

Why are you driving from the passenger seat?

Those were some great clips! The second one was really intense. I was actually sqirming in my seat as I watched you driving.

Greg. We run this chassis on tracks that have predominantly right hand corners. It helps with the weight bias. On tracks that have predominantly left hand corners we use the same chassis - 'cause it's the only one we have!

If you say so. We do not run a turbo. Go to www.almost.co.za for details.
