I have driving at Barber since 2012 and it never grows old - its a very challenging track especially so in a two-ton heavy weight. This was at a Porsche PCA DE event so it qualifies for posting here (at least that's my excuse)! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
What makes Barber challenging are the number of off-camber corners and crests; it also has some tight slow corners making it difficult to hook up. Enjoy the beauty of one of the nicest Racetracks in the world. Cracker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sxQexoHG2k One chasing a 911 around...and finally catching it!

Correct. My 914 is heavy but it isn't two-tons...this is the ZL1. The 911 and lower hp cars have a large advantage at Barber - putting the throttle down early without slipping the tires is huge. Horsepower is not always your friend.
