Finally got some video up of the event at the Circuit of the Americas. I only had 2 dry sessions, and this video was the second session. Times were dropping every session (15 second drop from the wet session! and 5 seconds from the first dry!) And there are still a few more seconds out there for me. But man oh man, it was AWESOME. The facilities are world class, the track is wide, consistent and literally awesome to drive. I've never driven anything like it. Still grinning ear to ear!
I hope everyone gets to make it out there some day. It really is something to put on the bucket list!

Great video - thanks for sharing. I was there on Saturday in my 997.1 GT3, but it was pretty much wet the entire day.
For those who weren't there, COTA was watching this event VERY closely as a litmus test for future organized track events. The DE group who ran the event implored everyone to dial in back a little and be extra courteous, so as not to ruin it for everyone going forward. From what I heard, there weren't any notable incidents.

Also, the Ferrari 458 Challenge cars were running 2:18s or so in race trim, which is about the same times as the Gold Cup cars at the same race (Fast Platinum cup car was at 2:13). If I drop 10 seconds, I'd be at 2:22/23. I'm fairly confident my almost 10 year old street car won't come within 5 seconds of new Ferrari/Cup car or within 10 seconds of the 997 cup cars. There may be another 5 seconds in my car with a good driver. Unfortunately, I don't think there's 10 more seconds for my no droving self.
