997 Turbo at VIR

I had a great weekend at VIR with BMW in my 997tt. This was my first time to VIR driving the full course, the turbo killed the almost 1 mi. long back stretch, however it does get a little unstable at 130+mph, something the new 991 shouldn't do with it's longer wheelbase.

I uploaded a short clip to youtube from one of the sessions Sunday afternoon.


I can't wait to try the new 991 at VIR next time.

Yes, Billy Idol makes great music for driving, it's a good thing I don't listen to his music on the track, that would put me in the wall very quickly.
