You had him in the twisties!

Shame about the ring tourists getting in the way.

A very enjoyable video thanks for sharing.

That was really good fair play. To keep up with the Ring Taxi shows you are doing at least a semi decent job

Very nice lines.

Each year I've get caught out once in the foxhole. Just carrying to much speed in the right handler and fail to get round the left.

Hopefully I'll remember next weekend

Superb bit of driving. Can't quite get my head around how you were sticking with him on the straights though. Shorter box maybe? I guess you can see him pulling from you towards the end on the final section which.

Sorry mate don't have any vids, 330bhp STI type r, should tell you at least the car is capable of getting a similar time considering it's about 100+kg lighter, even if you think i'm not.

But the thread is not about me or my car.

It was a nice lap with good lines, the man can drive, and you don't often see that.
