Now here is one for the folks back East. To be honest driving that one at 9 tenths would be hairy. The guy in the Porsche had two wheels off at one point, but saved it. Also think he won. Counted 5 offs in the results. |

I'm sure all of you have driven hard and 'Yes', smooth is best............All I'll say is that after living and driving those same mountains from southern VA to northern GA, even the smoothest road has frost heaves and undulations that can't be seen from the video.
I suggest that he had to make course corrections mid corner just to maintain car attitude and line. Those roads are just that.....roads used 365 days a year by all types of vehicles including large trucks. Like I said, I grew up running those roads and it is a blast. Of course I wasn't running a GT3 but the lowly '70 VW Squareback. |
