yeah agreed this is definitely a drivers race at the end of the day because both cars make similar power at stock, FBO, and FBO tuned levels. the e92 has a slight advantage cause she is lighter than the isf. honestly I tell people this all the time the my old dct e92 felt faster than my isf down low cause of the flat torque curve but the isf felt faster up top. you can see even in the vids had you guys kept going you would've reeled him in

With that amount of races I can see your strategy was to wait for his rod bearing failure to occur

Looks so close that the light weight wheels could have been the difference maker.

lol well I'm surprised his car is still running strong and he just crossed 100km.

The funny thing was at the end of the races his brake pads were cooked and faded pretty bad, mine were still good.
