    That looks a whole lot more fun than when I drove an Audi A6 on the track this year. LOL. I wish I had my Viper there.

    That guy spent waaay to much time bouncing off the rev limiter. Nice drive through the forest though.

    So did the ACR during its ring record. I've always wondered about that.

    I think shifting into the next higher gear in these particular situations would be counterproductive as you would have to shift up and shortly after that shift down again which at the end would cost you too much time.

    Only in the 1st ACR run. The 2010 had 5th changed, better aero, and a more aggressive driver. The Gen V's gearing is much improved.

    The only time wasted bouncing off the rev limiter would be straight line, which I saw very little of. When you are approaching a turn with only a couple hundred feet left it's better to maintain speed bouncing off the limiter than to either slow down or upshift only to down shift instantly after, squid!

    What colour scheme is that, was that a stock colour or custom? Looks like a Silver car with Gunmetal stripes? Anyone have any other pics of the car?

    You know that BtG is a lot shorter right? Evo's do it in 7:45. I look forward to thor actually getting on it next time. He picked a good time to run though, as there was very little traffic for a tourist track day.

    Still fun to watch. He has the lines sussed out. I bet he knocks 10+ seconds off his next run.

    The only car I Knew of is Max's Red Viper who used to run the German VCA?, I don't know whose the car is in the VIDEO, I guess it must have been a personal import, No idea which country the car is registered in?

    Beautiful day. Didn't hear the tires singing much, so there's some left. Don't screw up because it's nothing but Armco all around. Bucket list.

    Guy definitely knew the track well...my butt hole puckered multiple times, especially when he ran up on some slower traffic.
