Yes Tony, racecraft is one of the many things I have to work on......

Too bad I can't learn it by reading a book........

Thanks the the input and looking forward to race with you.......

Nice work Paolo. Although, it is a bit humorous to see a car which held the class record at many tracks being called "no fancy car."

Thanks Brian.....

And yes in its prime time (9-10 yrs.) and with a much better driver, she was very competitive.

Nowdays, with me at the helm, the car in need of a new motor and with the
F class getting filled with much more modern cars such as the Boxster S, there is only so much she can do...... except......

me striving to become a much better driver than the rest of the field......

.......and that will be my lifelong dream........

See you at NJMP......

I like a man who knows his limitations. Just one trophy girl, but I seem to have made her quite happy.

How about late braking in turn 1 would that work?

Paolo,
I just had a minute to watch your vid.
Two things for next time:
-point your camera down a bit, less headliner and we'd have seen your hands
-instead of following so closely to a car that's not in your class, consider putting that guy AWAY.
Great go, on your second time out!
Now I want you to start studying passing techniques, there are no more point bys.

You brake too much in the BS and 10, T11 is one of my favorite places to pass... all in all a nice job!
