It's a amazing how fast the GTR was going into the corners and some of those time he hit the curbs were scary.

Talk about ego. He didn't have a chance in hell to pass her. I don't know what he and his passenger were on about? The car under-steers like a pig into the corners and was loose out - terrible handling for what is supposed to be a 'super car'. He's going on about how 'he' slowed him up in some sections or he could have got past. Sabine was slow in one section to be quick through the next two sections. It's a math problem...

He's not being honest with himself despite the fact he misses all sorts of apex's and you even hear him say the tires have given up not more then 3 minutes in...

He should be happy with his lap and the fact he can still see her instead of going on about the 'guy's been around here before'.

Wait till he sees the 'guy' in the car! Ball retraction mode...

+1. He's all over the place and lifting after the apex. Not that I wouldn't be doing exactly the same thing if I didn't know my way around (which I do not) but when the car in front of you is perfect through every corner, it really shows the difference in driving. He's lucky to have that video to study, though.

From both your comments sorta proves that the GTR can be driven sloppy and bad and still be able to keep up to a properly driven RS. That to me says it's an awesome car that can make any zero into a hero.

Greg: that what I took from it also. Given the weight differential on a relatively slow track, the GTR is certainly no slouch.

Trade cars, let Sabine take the GTR and let this hack take the RS. He would be in the weeds driving like that. He needs all that stability stuff to go that quick

Then there's this beast... (I know, not street legal...)


Peter Klutt (Legendary Motor Cars) has #16 of 16 sitting in his showroom in Milton. He's providing support/service for the client who owns it and wants to do track days with it. I *think* I know who the owner is, (this isn't his first exotic he's owned) which if you live around Halton Hill's - you've seen some of his other cars... We're keeping an eye out for it this summer at Mosport.

Default GTR was quick...

Come on guys give the guy a little credit. The GTR is a mighty quick car but he knew the track pretty well and hustled it around there just fine. Ronan should know he's done more laps than most and to keep up with Sabine is nothing to sneeze at. Computers can't overcome physics or stupidity on the ring. The GTR had a ton of grunt and if his exits were a little cleaner he would have passed her.

Great vid in any case... I'd be totally content to be behind Sabine... in fact... ok, well I might as well tell you guys... I have a bit of a crush on her.
