Looks like fun, seem to be lugging the motor alot in corners but
we can do that since we have so much torque. The 997GT3 guy had
completely different apexing lines than you.
thanks for sharing, great fun on the track!

Wow that is a tight track - there's barely any room to run the car and cool the brakes down.
Are you the same Mikelly that used to have a Corvette? I think we've met at VIR - I used to have a silver Z06. I haven't been to the track in quite awhile, and recently picked up a C4S which I will probably track lightly in the coming months. Hope to see you out there when I make it to an event!

Mike I love you man!!!!
Does seem like you coulda been in some lower gears at some points.
I am usually at 5-6k rpms as much as possible if not at redline. I would consider dropping an additional gear in several corners and see how that goes when the GT3's are not slowing you down!!
thanks for sharing the vid, was great fun.
