Awesome race, that thing comes off the corner like jack the rat, good job!
I love racing in other countries, I have no idea what the announcers were saying, but you could tell they were getting into it.
Give me some info on the Dunlops, I'm not familiar with them, but I can dig around. I was on the "Dunlop deal" back in my karting days.
Looking for some code or info on these tires but not much to see so far...they are the rear tires for the 911 Gt3 Cup series. I think they will last longer with 4 degrees of camber up front.

4 degrees of camber, heck how much do you have now??
usually -3.5. This time had too rush and could only get -3.... No enough. Zero toe and 3.5 gives your slicks a long life!! I think these dunlops will need a little more... They also run with 24psi hot!

Bill, saw a mach 1 here at the track on Sunday, but it was ejected for pulling 100db on the track!!!

One of the " Blessings" of living in the Midwest is that 103 -105 decibels seems to be the upper limit allowed at many tracks, so the Mach 1 should do just fine in Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri. My favorite sign is at Motorsports Park Hastings where the Fast Ford and Mustang Roundup is held ( Sept. 16-18 ). They have a big sign on the side of one of the storage buildings near the paddock and it has a sound decibel limit sign with a big " Ghostbusters " circle with the crossed line going through it. I am sure some of the radical Stangs that show up for the killer event are exceeding 103 decibels, but it is simply music to the ears of those friendly folks from Hastings!

Well I lost my appeal and am a Unsportsmanlike driver.....Got knocked down from 2nd to 5th place. You can't see it in the video but the GT4 Clubsport had to swerve to avoid hitting me... I think he did not see me coming or he would not have left the barn door open.

Who cares the Girls are gone already and the Porsche driver knows he's a boob.

He had to swerve because he is clueless and does not watch his mirrors......................wow, up here in the US of A he would have gotten a penalty for not being aware of his surroundings! We like you even more , now , you dirty Merican bully driver!

Naw RES, the Country song would be, " The boobs are gone but I just found another!"

Or in German , to the tune of the Beer Barrel Polka , " Du bist eine Bruste, und ich bestanden du , du kleine titten!"

Whoa, wait a minute , there was no protest from the Porsche driver nor did he complain?! If that is the case you need to get the driver's together and form your own committee. This is completely bogus that there was no complaint, yet you got penalized. Who knows who it will happen to next time, but you need to take some kind of action as this explains a lot. No issue at all, just a vindictive judge. Boy, this makes SCCA and NASA rules seem super fair and reasonable. Now we understand why you got robbed!!
