keeping those 997's behind was not easy but very doable despite a huge hp disadvantage and gearbox handicap


here is the video taken from the 997...

Great drivivg ability, just goes to show biggest is not always best. It would be interesting to see the specs of both cars.

Great Video, thanks for posting. There is more to getting around the track than how much hp you have!

WOW! Nice smooth driving...way to go. I'm surprised at how much oversteer the 997 guy was struggling with. That was excessive...

imagine 90+ cars each track day, 5 times a year, plus street driving, we talked to Michelin and they won't bring the Cup tire into Mexico despite this and other more interesting numbers from other clubs, so we need to import from the USA, guess who's becoming rich (hint:tirerack)... simply idiotic if you ask me... so any supplier welcome
