Gotta say - that thing looks WAY out of place on a track. The car looks looong and cumbersome. Not faulting the GS here though, as it was never intended to be a track car (nothing from Toyota currently is). It's much better off tuned VIP-style and cruising in the fast lane on the freeway. In that regard, it shines.

The DRIVER is the one that makes things happen at the track.
If you read the thread, KevinGS states he spun out in his 300ZX and a guy in a 280Z died after he lost control and flipped.
Kudos to the pics, he shared the WHOLE story, not just the good parts. He showed us "yes I lost it" due to the balance transfer but he regained control.
At Road Atlanta, a similar corner has been responsible for COUNTLESS wrecks. Basically, you speed up and the road goes up then WHAM, the road turn sharply and goes down and then turns again.
Very tricky.
