Thanks for the kinds words! This was about my 5th ever track weekend and I was super proud of that pass. Watching it back now I see all the mistakes I made on the lap :) RaceChrono Pro is what I used for the overlay software.
@@rfelkey love it man. I've watched this like 862 times lol. What obd device is plugged in? I have one but it sucks -_-. Ilbe out there in June with a track day organization called jzilla. I'm excited.
not sure why part was struck out - trying again - I assume that you realize that you are behind a 2000 or 2001 F360 CH Ferrari - not an F430 much less an F458 Ferrari. The F360s are all 14-15 years old - When they were new they had about 100 - 200 less HP than the GTR new - the differential is probably bigger now. The F360 weighs about 2.800 lbs empty - about 3,000 lbs with fuel. In the Ferrari race hat followed - one of the F360s ran laps in the 1:34s and the one in second place ran consistent 1:35s. And IMHO they are pretty good looking too. The 458 was running about 1:20 laps... ) but I love the GTR too - Its a cool car
Ken Marlin I was timing the 458 race leader Saturday night at 1:30 flat in the early laps and a 1:34 - 1:35 as the race progressed and his lead built. (far from a 1:20 but still an awesome time from my perspective) The middle of the pack Ferraris that I timed were mostly running 1:40 - 1:45. I did realize it was an older Ferrari on that particular lap (I'll find and post some of the other passes later.. there were several over the weekend, most of them just had a lot less build up). The GTR (in my case) is about 4,000 lbs wet (I have a lot of stereo and sound deadening in it, plus a roll cage etc) and 4,200 with me in it. So I'm giving up a lot more weight, not to mention running on street tires. All of this as compared to a much lighter Ferrari with what has to have been a much more experienced driver on racing slicks. Thanks for the kind words! I was pretty pleased with my times over the weekend.... especially since I've only been doing track days for about 6 months now. It's all good fun and I was pleased to have some faster traffic out there to drive with. It's always more exciting to have some fast cars on the track with you.
+Ken Marlin You may not have noticed (it takes a trained eye), but that was a special lightweight version of the 360 - it had the rearview mirror removed. LOL!
Doug Narby actually now that I watch more of it, it's really interesting how much faster you are than him in some places where you didn't seem to be working so hard. very different cars...
Doug Narby Yeah... I think he thought he'd pull away from me in the corners but he really wasn't able to. And I'm totally eating him up in the straights. I would've thought he power to weight ratio (that car probably only weighs 2500 pounds) would've kept him faster than me there also but the GTR is a phenomenal car.
R35PCT I also thought it was neat that I got my best lap of the weekend after passing him so I can sorta compare what speeds I was carrying with him in front of me versus what I was able to do solo and see where I was able to go full throttle etc.
GTR is a Great car no question. And pretty. And you look like you were driving it well. and the GTR probably is about 800 lbs heavier than that Ferrari - and 1:36.6 is a great lap time at RA - congratulations! (I own one of those Ferraris - not that one -and I own a Nissan. I assume that you realize that you are behind a 2000 or 2001 F360 CH Ferrari - not an F430 much less an F458 Ferrari.

I was gonna say you didn't eat him then I saw the footage after the pass and I was yeah F car got ate and you were nice about it. Nice Driving.

1:29 best lap of the weekend from a 430
R35PCT sorry... 1:29 best lap of the weekend from a Ferrari in the race.. and it happened to be a 430

Awesome! LOL dude you were working for that ;-)
