Now I know this has something to do with track, but it seems some people enjoy watching some of these videos in the GenV section. If however the mods want to move it to the track section then I suppose that's fine. Its for entertainment and to put our car in context with another great car.
Just got back from Zandvoort Holland. Fantastic little circuit. Used to host F1 races in the past.
Here's a little tussle between my ACR-E and a 675LT at Zandvoort. Apologies for the sideways of the camera towards the end as it seemed to be sliding that day. My first time at Zandvoort and early in the day. The LT driver had been to Zandvoort before so knew the circuit a bit better than me. Through the first lap you obviously can't see the LT as he's behind me and pushing me. On the second lap he passes me. But I'll add in my excuse(as one would!) You'll see that during the second lap I come across a Renault Clio Cup-which my son is driving with an instructor. Its his first time in race car and first few laps ever at Zandvoort. So I slowed down a bit so as I didn't want to unnerve him and unsettle him off his line. This of course gave the LT an opportunity to come closer to me-and with his superior power to weight punching in the straight had an opportunity to dive on the inside of me. It was then me giving chase. You can see how the LT pulls through the straights much more convincingly. Add to the that the flappy paddle box makes it much easier and quicker to extract the performance. Great fun all round though! Oh and by the last lap my tyre pressures had creeped up to 40PSi so where getting a bit balloony and had to slow down at some point.Hope you guys enjoy it. If you guys want I have another good tussle with a well driven 991 GT3RS on the same circuit on the same day on my channel!
