Move up to something quite insane...

In the rearview camera, you'll see a red car lurking back there; that's the other 924 alumnus Chris Marsh of 4M Industries fame...
Be sure to turn up the sound!!

bumpy ride  i think the main cam should be the "shoulder" cam and not the nose cam.
anyway, great racing, as expected

LOL... thanks guys!
Everything looks rough when you're only 2"/4mm off the pavement!
Now you all know why my 931 is still in pieces...

LOL... it is short and twisty - 13 turns in 1.4 miles - but also NARROW! I have video from the 924 on Youtube showing a more normal perspective...
The lowest speed we hit at race pace is around 40mph - quite slow, for a race track!

 The kerbs look like our north shore mountains! And I'll bet that's exactly how it feels!

Sorry, haven't been able to view up until now (Africa internet will sometimes let you download, other times not, this other time was two weeks long).
Well done though. That car looks like a blast to drive...gotta love the full race suspension and an extremely light car.
Cheers,
Ian
