Nice.

Its always amazing and inspiring to let an instructor drive your car and show you what it is capable of.

Then it becomes clear that most of the work is learning the driving skills and your car.

Looks like pretty fast track. Video usually makes it hard to tell the real speed but I could definitely tell you were getting up there.

My last track day at Bondurant's west track the instructor took me out in his 996 GT3 and I could not stopping laughing/smiling. He took the car so hard into the corners I thought we would not make it on a couple of the turns.

"I don't like to throttle steer".....I think I really heard you say "I don't like to ******************** my pants" lol.

Learning how to really drive fast makes you do a lot of things that are pretty counterintuitive to what we think we / the car can do. We all think we are great drivers......until a great driver takes the reigns and humbles us, it's happened to me also lol..........

that happened to me, in a 996tt sadly. I wanted to die feeling and promise myself to NEVER NEVER do this again in my entire life man. Scared to death

Love for the 2.5l f.o.r.e.v.e.r.

Oh, just go autocrossing, I've done it, and I'm a girl.

I bet if you google you'll find a club or group in your area.
