His R32 GTR would power away on the straights but your late braking and corner speed are showing up the power and skills of every driver ,in all your vids I've watched so far. So does Samellio. Check him out if you don't already know him or know of him. Cheers for another great vid

      +V8kila I looked at the videos of Samellio. I don't know him. He has a good driving skill. His GTR is fast in a straight line but it is lacking a rear train and brake. It has to balance the performances with my S2000.

    • @V8KILA
      @V8KILA Před 8 lety +1

      +Xav_ S2000 Your car has been set up very well as your laps show. Possibly better than Samellios R32 GTR. I'm not sure what you mean by rear train? I thought the braking of his GTR was very good. I did ask what upgrades he had done but can't remember exactly. If I get a chance to get back to the UK and France I would like too watch these track days. In the mean time,I'm subscribed and will look forward to seeing your next outing. Thanks

      Only the cooling might be a problem.

    This video is so annoying. Twice I have watched it and both times got to the end with a COLD coffee by my side. Totally engrossed from start to finish. We had the Mexican wave now we have the French version. 3:15 Master class of late braking 5:30 at hairpin. 3 thumbs down! cobra driver porsche driver and friend of porsche driver?
