Maybe they were "beginner" drivers. Aren't there certain rules they have to abide by? You see them flagging the G35 ahead...I think that's one of the rules. You can't pass the beginners or less advanced drivers until they wave you by.

We are all beginners, and they were going full throttle......I just carried more speed through the corners.

In my group, you must wave-by faster cars.

Thanks, but the R-compound Avon Tech R tyres did most of the work!!

I was hitting the brakes as hard as possible, ABS didn't show up the whole weekend......

Nice driving. Don't be so modest, it Looks like you were hitting your line and using the whole racetrack. Just goes to show what a better driver can do against "superior" cars.

Awesome ***'n job X......nice first time shot at the editing as well. My son and I watched it 3x ....and will again...many times... I'm sure lol. I've done/raced most of all the big 'national' tracks.....but, only on two wheels. The 'in car' action was great (and ya picked the right lines too!) URCool, jbx

Second video is up---- 2 laps around the big track!

These aren't my best times (best=3:03), but the action is more camera-worthy than a bare track!

Congrats! Looks like a great time. Lots of fine machines out there. However, appears that you were the more experienced driver. Good job!
