Well done!! That is pretty damn fast! My fastest lap there was a 1:48.751 but I had issues all weekend with my brakes. From pads that were breaking up to boiling the brake fluid. I think I have more in me but I would need to get some of my issues sorted out first.

Thanks, I am back there on the 25th, I had brake issues as well, as soon as you get in the 1:48 arena the brakes show up soft. I switched to amsoil 600 fluid $$$$$ though and just ordered carbotech xp12 and xp10's. My best lap is 1:45.71 but temps were perfect in the low 70's. I do not think it has anymore in it as a stock car, but who knows. Let me know if you can make the 25th....SFspeed puts on a great day with free professional pics etc....

You seemed a little passive on the skinny pedal.

Great shots! I love how low and wide your 1LE looks under compression on the corkscrew! How'd you fare against that GT#?

Thanks for the complement! It was very interesting, I have played around with quite a few of them out there. While they are faster by a lot overall, the comment I ALWAYS get, is how fast the 1le is for a 4000lb car. They thought they were just going to pass me at will anywhere on the track and that's not entirely accurate. My best times are around 3 seconds slower than an average GT3 driver out there, and way slower than a good one. Problem for them though, is sound requirements here, I NEVER bust sound, they do.

I will add a couple of straightaway vs standard 911 (I slowed down and pulled over so I could chase him down the straight) and vs GT3.....
