Default Putting in work on the Track!

So had a track day this weekend and got to take my F and FRS. Great time and it was day and night between the two cars. To be fair I have never driven a manual car on a road course so the rev matching needs to be something I work on. The F was 20 seconds faster then my FRS but I was running all season tires on the FRS.

Now dont think the FRS is a joke on the track I got passed in my F by an FRS on some race tires and stop tech brakes and he was Na. lol I guess only so much of the track can be straightaways. lol

I got point by's from a Cayman GT4 and a brand new ZO6 so cant complain to much.

Cool

Where was the point where the Porsche waived you by? I thought that part was in the video......

What are your mods again? Are you RR-tuned yet?

Awesome video though

Sure enough it was brief but after re-watching it I saw where he waived you by.......

Shouldn't the re-tune be dropping soon like today I thought? Can't wait to see some rolls with your friend in the RCF with the new intake and tune

Thanks for sharing. Looks like lotsa fun.

The Z06 & GT4 is da bomb, you must be a pretty fair wheelman to be keeping pace.
