Yup!

You'd be surprised how bad some drivers can be on track.

The phrase "All the gear and no idea!"  often springs to mind when I see people in exotic cars getting in the way of lower powered cars simply because they don't know how to drive/know the track.

It's not a shame being slow.
He just had to drive on the right and let the Golf overtake him.

+1 . Everyone is slow at first on the ring. You just have to use common sense and let the faster drivers pass !

I am far from an experienced ring driver, but having done a number of laps round the ring on track days and public days, I love it when something that shouldn't be coming up quick is. My time round the ring has been with E30 M3, E92 M3 and a 964 C2RS.

It teaches you lines and carry speed very quickly if you let them past and tail at a safe distance. I would want far better brakes in my GTi to get that close to a GT3 tbh.

I was well hounded in my E92 M3 by an old Mercedes. I let it past and tailed I simply wasn't competent to stay with it for half a lap...... I then found out it was a very heavily modded 2.5 cosworth on Avon slicks, the guy had clocked sub 8 minute laps in it.....

I did think the E92 M3 was moving round more than I had hoped !

The best you can do. Tbh I prefer not beeing in front cos it makes nervous
and so causes mistakes.

Markus' ED30 has a huge Movit BBK, Michelin PS Cup and KW clubsport.
Guess it brakes as good as the GT3.

That's right. Movit brakes are super expensive also, that's why you don't see too many around here also !

The 911 driver could have learnt so much by pulling over to the right then trying to tail the Golf. Entry and exit lines, braking points. Guarantee his next lap would be 30 seconds better.
