    Always that one rental which can't stand the idea of being overtaken, self-proclaimed king of the ring.

      That is why hey should ban rental boxes in the weekend. They are mobile chicanes....

      @@flat4-or you could argument that they should ban ppl trying to set fast lap times during TF. Its called tourist driving for a reason.
      That said, the guy in the Cayman should have checked his mirrors and let him pass. He was clearly not very familiar with the circuit nor the car.

    Enough power? Yes. But indeed enough driving skills!

  • @ElAmokoLoco

    A power to weight ratio of far below 4 kg per hp is plenty fast enough, if you ask me. Yes, it could have more power on the long uphill section towards "Mutkurve", but this is the only part where I would feel a bit underpowered. And thanks to the low weight you can bring so much momentum out of the corners.
    The Cayman driver is an absolute disgrace, absolutely selfish driving there. It is only for these occassions you would yearn for a "double the power for 10 seconds" button in the car.
    And before I end this comment, I want to say: Exceptionally good driving, as always on this channel. Stay safe.

    It lacks aero but still was very stable at high speed. Sector 3 could have been so much faster without that Porsche

    When the driver checked his harness, I thought they were doing the "sign of the cross" after that tail slide.

    was the red 992 gt3 at 2:12 a cup car? It just walks away from anything, during turns and in straights, like everything else are obstacles

    Well - if MX-5NC with that engine is good enough for Nords... and you take 600kg's from it... yea - it's even better for Nords :D

      With the aero of a brick, I wouldn't be surprised if the MX5 and Caterham were equally fast (err, I mean slow?) above 120 kph.
      Wonder if there are some acceleration curves out there...
