I looked up some more lap times for the Glen and your 2:15’s are now even more impressive to me. nice tune lol Seriously though…great driving as always. I’ll make sure I watch this video a bunch of times before heading the Glen. Watching you shift into 5th gear at redline before entering turn 2 really put your speed into perspective because I know how long those gears are. :tup: I wonder what you could do with the front aero back on, but more aero all around plus more power will be fun next year. ---

Thanks guys :tup: And thanks for the fantastic tune Mike, I have no doubt it contributed to the flawless execution of the car this season! Can’t wait to see what we can do with the V8. ---

Nice video Mike! That’s the only bit of driving I actually saw of you or Dave from the event, other than the few seconds down the front straight. Sad I missed day 2, where it appears you got a lot more run time than day 1. ---

great driving, you carry the speed with such confidence. When I go back and compare to some of my better videos in the evo I can see how much I’m chickening out because I don’t trust myself. I can’t wait for next year in the E30 ---

I took a few random photos, but I’m sure Ian has better.
