Default Chasing down a GT3 and some donuts

I finally brought my gopro out to Buttonwillow and got some footage. I had a blast chasing down a 996 GT3 in the first video! The car was super loose, so there is a little sideways action too. Got down to a 2:06.7 in the 3rd session, can't wait to go back on tires that aren't as shot.

Good driving, you need a bucket seat though. You'd probably shave a couple seconds with that change alone. The stock seats are ass for track use.

At said track....one can pick up a COUPLE SECONDS with a seat upgrade?

Is this track long enough to circumnavigate the globe?

Hey! It was great meeting you dude, I'm hoping to go back later this month with my friend and his brz actually. Still working on some of those changes you suggested I'll def be there in March too if the car holds up haha. The throwout bearing has started to make some noise...

And thanks B serious!

Hi,

Thanks for the vids, excellent.
Can you mount the camera forward of the rollbar.?

By the way, I agree with the seat comment, perhaps not 2 secs though.
I tested a Formula Ford with a foam lined seat, I felt totally disconnected from the car's "feedback".
Same day, I was in a different car, proper glass moulded seat, and achieved vastly improved times.
