It's more of you being too humble as usual vs. us being generous. The reason I was asking about the GT3s is because you are typically faster or at least as fast as majority of GT3s (even 997s), but looks like there are too many unknowns in this case.... They could have been on slicks (black car also looked like it had a lot of tire stuffed under there), more agressive susp. settings, stripped/lighter, track veterans, or all of the above.

Hope you can make the OVR event @ Mid-Ohio in October.

You're right - I haven't seen many GT3's that were faster than me, but those guys sure were. It was my first day at this track, so they probably knew it better than I did. It takes a while to be able to carry speed into corners and pick up the throttle early coming out.

Not sure about October @ Mid-Ohio. I'm committed to Putnam Park at the end of October with CIR. MOR has a lot of openings for Putnam Park next weekend. I may do that one if the weather looks good.
