That guy knew the track really well. It was priceless when he answered the phone.
I wonder if that's the cf member that lives there.

Well, in all fairness: the Porsche driver was HORRIBLE!
Didn´t know the lines, braked where you simply DON´T...the list is endless...

Nice day for a drive and a spectacular venue to boot! The driver really knew the layout of the track.

I don't have the nads to do that but it's nice (and a waste) to know that my car can do that.
What kind of event is that where every type of vehicle is out there? Scary. I thought I would see bicycles at some point.
I would hate to be a passenger in that car. After I cleaned out my pants, I would punch the crap out of that driver. Like I said, no nads for that...

If you ever get a chance to drive the Ring, do it. I did it twice after taking delivery of new BMWs. It is a hoot but as you can see in the video, there is often a lot of traffic including tour buses on some days.

Awesome video and he passed everyone.Well that is the closest I will ever get to tracking my Z51. Felt like when I was younger and played the race car driving games at the arcade ! Thanks for sharing the video!

Either he didn't know how to set the car up for a track event or didn't want to. He wasn't in track mode and Active Handling was flashing that it was active through a large percentage of the course.
