This video starts at the end of the second lap of the race, when I spin and lose all my hopes of getting near the front pack.
Fortunately, another driver appears from behind, and this is the start of a great battle for that 3rd place, which lasted the whole race.
The driving isn't great in this video, but it's a good example of why you shouldn't give up the moment you spin. Awesome race.

Very nice driving. 👍 Watching your replay, bother inside the car and outside, it didn't really look bumpy except in a few places. I haven't driven Sebring in quite a while because it was way too bumpy for me to enjoy. I know there is someone working on Sebring. Are you familiar with that "Reboot Project" of famous tracks?

I know you put a lot of work into this, so I'm going to hold off watching it until I can give 100% attention to your Hypercar Showdown. 👍
Great video! 👍 I watched it all...
Your spin that started the video. Ugh... I've had so many of those. Uh-oh! Oversteering...need to countersteer...tires decide to bite and now i'm spinning the other way...FANTASTIC!!!
So, he made a nice run out of that corner and overtook you. I rewatched him lose it on the Corner #1 entry several times. I can't tell exactly what he was doing. I'm guessing he hit the brakes too late from looking in the rear view to see what you were up to. I can't figure out why he would lose his rear-end like that.
You must have been so psyched to take the lead over him so quickly. That freakin' sand has gotten me in the exact same spot so many times.I think it was good racecraft on your part when he slid off a little bit on that downhill right after you went into the sand. You possibly could have pushed the issue and got him on the outside but the risk was way more the reward would have been as you would have been in bad position for the next double right-handers if you guys were side-by-side or even if you had half a car length. Plus, you never know if he's going to lift for a split second to admit defeat from his mistake and let you overtake...if he turned into you even a slight tap you would have spun because it was downhill. So, I think you made a very wise choice there.
On lap 5 when he got squirrely and you took the lead back I was so afraid you might carry too much speed into that right-hander coming right up and understeer like a mofo...very nice driving on your part. I was so surprised how quickly he was able to get back on it and start making a move on your right. Two questions: 1) Did you go wide on purpose to close that door on him? It was a perfect move on your part. 2) Did he bump you there? That would have totally sucked if he spun you after the nice charge you made on Lap 5.

My guess is that either his brake bias was too much to the rear wheels or they locked-up due to the lack of rev-matching in a downshift.I rewatched him lose it on the Corner #1 (...). I can't figure out why he would lose his rear-end like that.
All of what you're describing came to mind in that split-second decision. 👍
1) Was it that obvious!?
2) He did, but I'm pretty sure he never meant to throw me out - he just saw an opportunity and tried to go for it, especially being so close to the end of the race.
He was a good sport himself. 👍
You really watch it all carefully and interpreted correctly all the important moments. You'd be good race official. 👍

@35mm It truly was a good video...I thoroughly enjoyed it. The back and forth right away really sucked me in. I admit I was getting rather worked up as Lap 5 progressed. I kept thinking, "Come on! Get this guy!!" 
I think that you going wide was a brilliant move. You knew immediately that was his only move and closing the door on him there would increase your odds for a finish before him - the U-turn corner coming up next and the quick chicane aren't really passing opportunities, so that worked in your favor. I have to admit, when you came to the final turn, the big sweeping left I started thinking, "Oh lord...Don't let this video end the way it started." 👍

Magnificent video.
Very professional. There's no question whether a lot of time was put into creating this - after 3 minutes you'll know there was. I really enjoyed your comments & analysis of the the vehicles. I'm feeling a little bit better about myself because many of the comments you made reflected my own thoughts on some of the cars. Now I know I'm not nuts. Thanks for the great video!

Magnificent video.
Thanks for the great video!
Thank you very much. I am glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully if things work out I'll be able to make more of that sort of video. And hey, how do you know that you didn't watch the opinions of a nut?

Another online trackday at the Nordschleife, this time a battle of Lotus.
If that 240 was a bit faster on the straights I wouldn't have stand a chance... It's a great machine and its driver was very good, too.
Also, this was my first time trying this Series 3 Exige. Not as raw and fun as the Series 2, but a nice car nonetheless.
