If you spend much time on a track in your Boxster, you will find that a well driven Boxster is as fast or in many cases, faster, than many more powerful cars.

This results in the yo-yo effect that you see in the videos: bunched up in the corners but rocketing away on the straights. It just becomes part of the challenge.

But it is nice to keep up or better cars (in total lap times) with much higher horsepower!

And to be honest, I was pretty close to contact with the green car when he parked it in the middle of the corner so unexpectedly.
