Sorry he wrecked his new car, but glad it is repairable. I bet he's  , I would be. |

This past Thursday evening, I did a four 30-min session HPDE at PBIR with my Z06... I typically run in Track mode w/ PTM Sport1 setting which means there is still some stability & traction intervention active when needed. PBIR road course is a technical layout with a number of decreasing radius turns... knowing and patiently staying in the right driving line is key. And one of my favorite sequence is the turn 6 thru 8 slalom leading into the long straightaway where I can hit high 140's prior to a challenging turn 10.
Here's a gopro vid of my 3rd session and after about 20mins of passing other participants, I slowed down in traffic to let a few pass me.... but then after tailing the two cars, the lead one spun out at turn 6 (start of slalom after a hot right) due to snap oversteer. The C63 AMG and I swiftly avoided him... I think the spunned car was a race-prepped e36 M3.
Then I had a low fuel idiot light pop up so I took the pit lane.... had to cut my run short.!
