Default Sebring Sprint Video - 991 Cup

So, this is probably the least entertaining sprint video I have had. P1 checks out, P4 (Andy W in new GT3R checks out) and everyone else is behind for the most part.

If you don't like transmission noise.... don't watch!!

Most open track I had all weekend. One GTA2 car passed under yellow when I slowed a bit for it. Plus he was killing me in 17 and 1. I think that would have been a good race had he not been black flagged.

Any and all input and criticism welcome!

It's good to see your patience with going to the throttle, and thus only doing it once.

I will send you some observations privately.

Nice driving. Like your line through 16.

A welcome change to see PCA black flagging drivers for passing under yellow, if in fact that was the reason.

That was the reason. I was all over the radio on that one. Had they not thrown it it would have been a good Race anyhow.

Nice driving! I was in pit lane with 4 Cup cars in the race. The 911 R's really put on a show. Nice driving on your part. Wish you had speed in the video. You made it look easy.

what were you signaling at 13:50??


oh.. looked like a debrie flag at turn 17 with a debre at start finish with a hanging yellow? (should have been waving yellow), there was a car on the left stalled.
so, i think you need to complete the pass by the time you hit the start finish, and he might have thought it was a "tie" so he took the pass and completed it anyway. (well passed the start finish and just before the stalled car) is that why he got black flagged?

Thanks for sharing this! I've been searching for 991 Cup videos the last few days trying to get up to speed for 2016.

Fun to watch Chris. The acceleration of P1 and the GT3R at green is astounding. Nice driving.
