Hey chris have you raced at the Glen? if so do u remember a lap time?

Ive been studying the track like crazy making sure im the best prepared. Plus this whole racing thing is what i love to do. I think the GT3 is going to be my best challange. but to drive that car around the track well you have to be a REALLY good driver. from what ive heard porsches are one of the hardest cars to drive around a track. The guy in the camaro will be right up my butt bc he has beem racing for years and goes to the glen all the time.

Yeah if the Camaro guy knows what he is doing and knows the track then he will be pretty quick even on the crap rubber.

I have not raced there yet outside of iRacing. Using previous club results as a guide I think you will be in the 2:16 to 2:20 range on the race rubber. Probably towards the latter given that this is your first time there. That's where I hope I am anyway when I go there in September.

be safe, not much runoff at the glen...

the only way you can beat them is because you are a better driver, you dont stand a chance car vs car..

with your new tires, 2:15?

The guy that owns the car isnt worried about 80k. they bought that car just to race. his 20 year old kid is driving that, along with his 500whp srt jeep. he owns the gt500 too. Hes the guy w the huge trailer.

im an extemely quick learner and i actually listen when people talk. non of the guys im going with will listen lol. First time on a track they moved me to HDPE 2 bc i was almost laping guys in 1 durning the first session of the day.
