Yes,
Very impressive. Those GT3's must be a total handful in the wet.

Feck me !!

They've got some fair savage settings on that !!

Trouble is they have such godawful turn in bite that unless you want to be setting it up with your left foot all the time and consequently losing time the tuners end up putting some feirce camber on and such, so on the road or in the wet the thing becomes almost undriveable - as ably demonstrated by Mr Rohl there !! If you watch it again you'll notice that quite often he is doing nothing more than just aiming for a tight apex and then using lock to open the corner out, add in a few trail brakes, throttle pokes and the odd kerb hop and you end up with the worlds slowest, but most sideways GT3 !!

Looks good though and its nice and relatively slow, so easy to catch, although I dont know what tyres he's using but a couple of times it looks like the thing has bit proper on one side whilst aquaplaning on the other still and hence extended the slide way past what he was expecting !!

I wish I knew the place like he does though, that takes some serious setting up on some of those corners in order to not end up in the car park the quick way !!

I have issues !!! :ack2:....I used to be average, now I reminisce !!!

Until you have done wet laps around there you just cant comprehend how slippery it is at the corners he was proper sideways around. It is like ice.

Great skills :thumb:

Ahh okay, I should read the full thread first :wink:

Slighty off topic, what events are you going for the rest of the year Dunc, be good to meet up at one as I would love to come round in your car on track.
