Watch and learn - fast hands!

Fellow NASA racer nearly buys it in Road Atlanta's turn 12. Could have ended ery badly, but is an epic save!

Well done! Hitting that wall would have been a lot less fun.

Always great to see a quick reaction. That's when you need a quick ratio, highly responsive steering rack. She instantly responded to every move.

Nice save.

Nicely done! Interesting how much left input he got away with just before coming off the dirt, but once back on pavement he never over-corrected.

Skilllz!


So we have ABS, TC, SC, PDK, 4WS in the 991GT3....now all we need is drive by wire, and the computer can take care of these tank slappers too.

Nice save...ugly place to go off
Not a good idea to be opening up the wheel before track out when your running out of track

Heck of a save but I wonder how it would've gone if he hadn't gone straight at the second part of the chicane, which forced him to check up, and then early apex'd T12.... not that I could've done better...lot's to learn here.

I saw that too, maybe would have been less of a tank slapper if he eased back onto the pavement. So easy to criticize from our computers!
