Ok, I am calling total bull**************** on this. You were flying with the same car that I have, a 2.7 L. Not possible. There is no way you were passing full race cars cars with 3 or 4 times the HP and grip that we have.

Did you possibly link to the wrong vid?

If you look at my lap time via the video time counter, it was not at all impressive. My best lap was about 2:12 second on the day.

Those Spec cars were driven by novices that came to the school. There was a 55 year old woman driving one of them.

I have my first solo run without an instructor posted on Youtube also. My times were horrendous at 2:25+ during that session. As I got more comfortable, I was able to brake later and hit the markers (guide cones) much better and my times improved. I have no reason to post a lie. I'm just looking for input like you did a short while back when you posted your experience.

Again, those were novices in those BIR Spec cars. Those cars could handily pound on my Boxster in the right hands.

Here's a link to my first solo attempt: BIR - My First Solo Run - YouTube
