I really, REALLY want one of those and I generally quit lusting after supercars about 20+ years ago.

It was pretty neat.
First time I've been passed on the back straight twice -on the same lap ...

I really didn't see the point in mentioning that part ... as Mark Vitacco says : "Don't lift in turn 10" . Perhaps in that car its more like "Don't *think* about lifting in turn 10" .

One of the Mustangs rolled in T10 just after the Porsche went off.

The inevitable Driver's meeting followed ....

Well, that was less damage overall than I had when I screwed up 10 in my spec miata, but his repair bill will be a *lot* higher than mine.

Nice find, it makes you think about your approach to HPDE's. I have ALMOST had that same incident in turn 10 with my Talon. Its easy to do, luckily I didnt lift and didnt run out of pavement.

I think that GT3's tag needs to be changed to RSUSED2B.
