Took the guy over half a lap to realise I was there and for him to let me pass.
IME, they come out the bend so slowly, they cannot catch you easily on the straights!

As far as tighter tracks are concerned, all 996 drivers are crap!


JB,

A set of tyres will last OK. Well, I nearly totalled a brand new set once. But they lasted the day!
