Much thanks to all of you guys! It's been crazy having to keep this a secret for so long haha. I'll be posting some more stuff tomorrow when I can . Ahh this is crazy!
Maybe I'll just make a separate thread tomorrow to make it easy haha.
Whoop! Whoop! First post with the new sig!
I'm going to try and setup a thread here and a facebook post with the same message if I have the time tonight on what I've been up to lately and the future plans. There's a lot to go over so it will be a long post haha. I'll keep you all posted. For a post for my racing where do you guys suggest I post it? GT Academy thread?
Since we know it can't be ALL, what percentage of the last few months HAVE been in fact, cakes and ponies?
Great last episode, really glad that it was an hour and they had lots of coverage of each of you with the instructors + lots of qualifying footage. đź‘Ť
Congrats to Nick
ON a side note, did anyone notice the 2 GTR's used in the dog fight were not the same car? If they were "as delivered from the factory" as far as the engine tune etc, the silver one was a newer version and would have had more power. Using the GTR on Stowe is kind of like a bull in china shop anyway so wouldn't matter as much.

We took a spin while the guys were doing their practice laps and it's way too much car for Stowe. Stopwatch timing and my cell phone data logger showed we weren't getting better lap times than the Z even though it was going a good 10-15mph faster on the straights the slow corners are just too slow and the straights are too short for the extra power to make much of a difference.
I'd describe it as more of an angry bear on a leash.
I was wearing a Go-Pro when we did this. In case anyone cares, here's the footage from that (sorry for that bar across the top ):
You can hear the Helicopter in the background filming the other guys for the show.
You looking forward to go back next time?
I believe you only get one attempt when you make it to Race Camp.
Wish I could drive that GT-R.

To be honest I was not pressured into the mistake as much as just struggling with a car that had no front bias on the brakes and locked the rears anytime you broke even slightly late or slightly underblipped on a downshift.
