Very Nice!! Almost kissed the rear of the other cobra on that first lap with the Corvette cutting in. I'm questioning his line around the track, seems to me it could have been better and I've road raced for a while. Still a very enjoyable video.

What was that squealing noise? brakes??

Yes some of the lines could have been a little tighter, buy overall there is a lot of speed carried through most of the corners there. Maybe the Vette missed a shift or it popped out of gear(?). Squeeking was hard brake pads.

Rick,

Nice post!

Great driving & footage ... nice editing too, around 6:40 the white Tiger disappears only to magically reappear and be passed a bit later !

I was surprised the Porsche didn't get passed, must be a well prepared 911R ?
