Wow! That street circuit has it all. 4" tall apexes (sic), open sewer grates, you name it! That's a great training tool to ensure you hold the proper racing line, although the price for failure is a balled-up race car, or at least some interesting camber angles. Great videos, thanks for posting.

Love the SPA video; the GT40 pass is EPIC. That little 904 is just too quick to catch!

The yellow 911 in the pittsburgh video was very quick. I spoke with the driver of the second place 914-6 in that race. He runs a 2.4 S and said the 911 was pulling lots of torque out of the corners ... and it is a 2.0 liter!!
The 914-6 finally caught him in late laps.

We went to the PVGP and the Teeners were well represented both in the parking area and in the races.
Mostly sixes in the race and a couple sixes in the parking area.

This might be the 911 you spoke of, and is that the 2nd place 914-6 one car behind? I didn't go to the pits.

Yep that's the 911. The orange six in the picture came in second behind a very fast 2002

curbs, jersey barriers, hay bales, light poles…pretty unforgiving course. the course worker standing behind the j.b. @ 1:56 with his back to traffic needs to find something different to do.

On the video from Spa - can someone explain the empty transponder mount on the passenger side wing window?
Love watching the 914 play chase with the Vette! Especially in the corners.

Compared to the traction of the 914, the Vette looks like it's running on wet ice in the corners. But it's very impressive down the straights, like Usain Bolt running away from the field.
Here's another from the 2014 PVGP. Some early punts and bunts but then the 914 gets it together and passes everything in sight ...

This clip of the PVGP was fantastic. Having lived in this area all my life it was great feeling like you are in the drivers seat running this course past all these landmarks I grew up with. I was on the edge of my seat.
