A few laps around the local track in a 997 GT3
The track manager was nice enough to attach his camera to the roof of my car for a few laps towards the end of the day. The YouTube version loses quite a bit of image quality so I've also included links to the files if you want to download them:

GT3Ranger, the exhaust is stock with the plug pulled (doesn't make a difference on the track since you are WOT most of the time)
Luiscarlos, the wheels are 18x9 front and 18x12 rear with 255/35R18 and 315/30R18 respectively. The overall diamater front and rear are both shorter which is why there is a bit of wheel-well gap which is not there with the OEM 19's.

awesome car!
Are you a track event junkie? or are you a beginner?
Its nice to see people who own GT3s actually taking their cars to the track. I was behind a GT3 this weekend at Poconos East and got to pass him - we were both in beginner green classes. Either way, the GT3 is a beast. Good luck w/it!

They are Toyo R888. The wheels are Complete Custom Wheels C14's painted satin black.
Pistol, it was my first event of the year so I was a bit rusty and I haven't raced competitively in years. The last time I set a record was back in 2002 (Knox Mountain Hillclimb) and the last major event I won was back in 2004 so I'm sure my skills are not up to par.
I feel the laps on the video are maximum DE speed laps. They were perhaps 90% of a true race pace. In order to achieve a true race pace, I'd have to be willing to run over the rocky track out patches as well as to run the Pagid Yellows to maximize braking.
