Is the z/28 that much better engineered that you don't need to do that?....OR....is the violent style the kind of driving you need on a dry track to be in the 20s? See also the recent Porsche Spyder run...a bit less violent but still violent. Both guys are pro drivers...NOT employees of the company and I believe both are German and both have tons of hot shoe hours on the ring. I am not taking away anythign from this run and I think he did the best he could with the dampness...just speculating. They should shave given him 6 points and a hans at minimum...the belts would have helped I'm sure.

I'm gonna guess the damp/wet track is why more of what you describe isn't seen on the video with the Z/28....Hard in, fast out of several turns seemed mild, and the few he did he got squirrelly when getting on it....
I'm sure he pushed it as hard as he felt he could without crashing...
What little tracking I've done, any sliding or corrections cost time....Maybe with these cars, smoother is faster....I dunno....
