My first DE outing at Watkins Glen....simply awesome...words can't describe it. I'm simply overloaded by the immersive visuals of it all. At the drivers meeting this guy offers to give coaching so I sign up with him. Turns out to be Pete Argetsinger....I drive half the session then he takes over! Whoa baby! He made Kermee dance out there...I mean point by's from GT3's! Like he dives into turn 1 in 4th and upshifts to 5th going into the esses! Flat out all the way to the bus stop and he doesn't leave any loose change there either. World class.....what a day. By the way Josh--he pats the dash & says "nice car". Way to go buddy--good work.

Matt, welcome to a World-Class circuit! 914s do well at the 'Glen, but you have to keep the momentum up- especially up the esses, into the bus stop and through the off-camber turn headed toward the front straight. Gearing is important as you should be using everything except 1st. Glad you enjoyed it.
