        That's nauseating. But awesome! What was up the one time it looked like he had passed you and then he just went straight throw the turn and then was trying to catch back up? Was he worried he was going to be cutting you off in that turn?

          Yeah, he missed his braking point and didn't want to hit me. I had waived him by and had slowed down so that he could cleanly pass, but he waited too long to brake. We were playing cat and mouse every session, I would slow down till he caught up and then get on it again. This session I missed a few of my lines because my tires were just about toast. At the end we catch lap traffic, and if you look closely, after I pass that black fox body I catch a Maserati. Lapping a Maserati in a Festiva is an experience I think we should all get to have at least once. lol

          I have a Video where I'm chasing the Vette for the whole session. I'll post it soon. This is the same vette that is in front of the 997 turbo in the "festiva chasing "real' cars video.

              I might also add that Justin gets paid to drive expensive sports cars around race tracks and has over 2000 laps in that corvette at that particular track. I talked to him for quite some time and verified several times that he was not holding back at all. When I was tailing him in an earlier session, he was driving so smooth and consistent it looked like he wasn't even trying, so I didn't think at first that he was pushing the car, but he said that he didn't have enough tire to pull away from me. that felt good! He was a little embarrassed that he couldn't pull a Festiva in a corvette. He's a great guy though, fun to drive with and hang out with.

                          okay, here is the video I took while chasing the vette. This was before I had met Justin, he came over to my pit after this session to see why he couldn't lose an econobox.

                            Nice balanced setup charlie. And good cornering with realtivly low steering wheel angles. Looks like your car response well to steering inputs.
                            Very interesting. My other car is a Clio RS 172 itb, but no way canīt keep up with such cars like vettes(rare cars here, M3 are the yardstick) etc. Maybe Iīm a poor driver LOL.

                              You should let him drive your car for a couple laps sometime! And you can take whatever expensive car he's got around the track!
