So I checked my videos... lapping 4 to 5 seconds faster than last year in June. Only difference was my brake pads. Oh and practice.
I am also 4 to 5 seconds slower than MaxL based on his late May video. Max is quick. |

You were faster than me in the rain, though. My time was about ~1.5 seconds better this time than in that video - 1.39.3 actual lap (with a bit of passing) and 1.38.4 theoretical lap if I combine pieces from 3 different laps to get a clean one (I know it does not count :-)) Better brakes definitely helped, as well as warmer track surface.

I went to try out a few exotic cars in Las Vegas... (but mainly went for a wedding)
tried out a Nissan GT-R, a 911 Carrera S, a McLaren MP4-12c and a Ferrari 430 Scuderia The McLaren was 1.1 seconds faster than the Ferrari which was 5.5 seconds faster than the Porsche who was 1.5 second faster than the Nissan. I had the most fun with the Ferrari. 2 videos from Exotics racing in Las Vegas. McLaren MP4-12C and Ferrari 430 Scuderia |

Especially since its such an easy car to drive at 10 out of 10 limit. I'm curious did they let you drive with Nannies off?

Just saw the 2 videos ...
You lucky bastard I'm so jealous! The Ferrari had the sickest sounding exhaust. It was a beautiful symphony. Wow what a sound!!! So how did you like the paddle shifting? I'm assuming even the Porsche was PDK?

Check it out at http://www.exoticsracing.com/
expensive... but worth it. I wouldn't go every week... but once a year with new cars... why not? Ok, maybe every other year. Quote:
I agree, the GT-R would be quicker but I was learning the track with it. Quote:
I really could get used to it. I would miss the regular manual though. Maybe keep my M forever for nostalgia reasons. I tried an older Carrera S the previous evening on the streets and it had the slower tiptronic crap. That was a complete other thing. Sooo slow to respond. |

I wish I had the 458 to compare directly to the McLaren since they are more closely matched. Would have been nice to try a GT3 instead of a Carrera S. How was the Lambo? |

I checked with Billy and they still haven't even started building it. I used the Porsche PDK system last year in Calabogie and also tried out my friends gTR a well. I have to say the M DCT is sick fast and shoots you forward and I didn't even try S6. If you haven't driven an Mdct you can try out mine when I get it.

Hey Mr. Antoine nice videos, I liked the fairly relaxed look on your face while lapping! Looked like Mr. Cool!!!
