Cool video and you hung with the GT4, 385HP vs 250'ish (when new) Boxster S? Very impressive!
I am going to be watching this video again before I go to Road Atlanta in November, my shifting is like this (2000 Boxster S)
I go into turn 1 in 4th gear and leave it there until turn 5 when I go into third. If I was feeling brave I may go back into 4th for the esses (although I never got to any speed that needed 4th) and back to 3rd for turn 5 and then back to 4th on the way to turn 6. Back to 3rd for turn 6, and I leave it in 3rd through 7, then up through 5th until 10a when it is back to 3rd, then to 4th under the bridge and to 5th on the front straight.
That one time I have been to Road Atlanta it was my 4th ever track day.
I noticed you went to 3rd through turn 1, that probably helped you get up the hill a lot better than 4th. I also noticed you went down to 2nd for turn 7 which I guess helps you get a good pull at the start of the back straight. I tried that once or twice but my heel toe was not there and I think it slowed me down. I will give those a try.
Thanks for sharing the video!
