My old X50 keeping up with a new GT3 at the track

At the track, I waved a GT3 in a let by. Then I proceeded to hunt him down. Later I found out it was an friendly instructor in a brand spankin' new GT3.

I will have to wait till it finishes downloading from my cell connection. Why not just use youtube. it is faster and really easier to view.

It'd love to do a few laps on this track. It looks great.

How did you mount your camera to 996TT?

Suction Cup mount for the GoPro Hero. I mounted in 4 places (haven't edited that video yet), one on the low-left (about mid-line of the wheel), just behind the wheel pointed forward; neat shot. One in the cabin, one pointed rearward and this one, one the front bumper.

Was amazed it stuck at such high speeds.

BTW - I was on street tires he was on r-dots.

Looks like a fun track. The minimal traffic appears to have helped you keep up a bit at times. Both you and the GT3 were movin

How many cars were on at a time?
