Default Very good beginner Ring guide

This is NOT how to maximize your speed but a familiarization low speed guide.

Dale is actually very quick in real life and has driven in the N24. For anyone who might want just to cruise the track and know how it all works, its well done.

I would really liked to see a race prepped tesla car do this track , I mean really it is going to be about suspension and tires but would be interesting to watch I think , that car is no slouch.

For sure. A friend of mine test drove one in Ludicrous Mode. He was flabergasted. He said no amount of reading material and on line videos could prepare him for the level of thrust this car produced.

Close to 5000lbs from the factory, I say you could maybe get 500-700lbs out of it.... Those brakes wouldn't last long.

The Tesla is just astonishing. I approached it with deep suspicion before I tried it. It is just not the unbeleivable torque. Its the silence. It is also a great place to be in heavy traffic, tremendously relaxing. Wonderful car

Forget worrying about losing our flat sixes to turbos.
With bags of torque and Mission E the future at Porsche could be internal combustion free.
