Today at the open track day at the Bahrain International Circuit. That thing is fast on the straights. Watch how he runs off the track at the end.

Thanks guys. Honestly this was supposed to be a warm-up lap and the ceramics were still not performing at their peak, so I was braking quite early. Would've been interesting if he hadn't wiped out, but the gap kept widening through the second and third laps.

I was going to comment about warming up some more first. I'm sure once the tires and brakes came up to temp, you could have been even closer. Also note the Lamborghini does not hit his apex quite often.

Mike.

The distance increased significantly over the next 2 laps. I agree, the Lambo was all over the place - needs practice.

Thank you sir! I should upload the rest of the vid, I think I did much better times on the next few.

Come to the track on the 11th

It's a beautiful track. This was the GP track (F1). We have a more complicated inner track with 1 straight and lots of twists, which puts more pressure on the brakes but is just as much fun.

I am severely jealous you can drive that track.
I love living in SoCal but I don't have that luxury readily available. I would love to show up to a track and put the Porsche to work.
Very nice indeed
