This was part of my 3rd run where I had another forum member with me... there were 3 other GT350's that night- 2 Techs and 1 Base. Unfortunately they all hit the now infamous limp mode after 15+ mins on the tarmac. All 3 ran in the Novice grp. In this session, I first took out with me one of the other Tech owners but I still have to upload that run... so this first below was during the middle of the 3rd session where the passengers swapped. This is in the Intermed/Advance grp. I felt bad for them... but we had a little fun picking off some fellow participants.

This one was my 2nd session:

This was my 1st session... still daylight and as you can see the depth of field and the overall feel for the track is more predictable.

I ran in Sport mode all night and drove 8/10ths through the corners especially moreso when I had a passenger.
 
Nice driving. Novice and limp mode doesn't bode well for advanced drivers in a base or tech car.
 
No issues... I've done Homestead in Dec with it... this PBIR one... and twice at Sebring already. I transitioned from my C7 Z06 so a big difference in when to put power, in the feel and the limits. I'm getting more confident in the 350.and I haven't even been braking very hard yet.... next step is lighter wheels and stickier tires. I'll be back at Sebring on 3/27.
