thats right i forgot about that ! LOL that was funny as hell ! when i lived over there i would go to the ring once or twice a month at 1st my times were very slow . because the laps are so long 12.9 miles i think they are it is very hard to ever turn the so called perfect lap . but like any track themore you run it the more you get to know it and on any track that is the key . i do know that track now like the back of my hand . every little dip ripple and bump on the track . there is also the fact that you have to know your car as well .

when it comes to driving at speed there is no substitute for real seat time . i go to the track once or twice a week and have do so for the last 17 years . any time i can get into a car i do ! i will go race one of my 944's then days later i will be in the 962 then in my F1000 car . by doing so you keep your driving sharpened to a razors edge .

i really hate to say this but one big reason you will not see that type of thing here in the states is the mind set of the drivers here . the US drivers really are not that good .

i don't want to start crap from me saying that !

you would have to drive in other countrys to see just what and why i said that . when your at the ring other drivers let you pass then and you do the same for them . here even on track days you get drip sticks that don't even want to give you a point by . on public roads you get dip sticks just sitting in the passing lane then for no reason they move to the driving line and then back to the passing lane . they drive all over the roads from one lane to another with no though at all . other countrys driving is a privilege but in the states it's a right .
a driving test here in the states is a total joke and people fail it here ! go over seas and take a driving test . there 10 times harder .
