I'm getting clowned by non porsche owners

Man, I can't believe you let that red CGT pull away from you so quickly, not once, not twice, but three times! Nice vid! I don't track my car so this is not an "educated" comment, but you had a few good "saves" there! If I were to go to VIR, after my first session, I know that they would owe me money for keeping the grass "nicely manicured!"

It's not me, my brother is teasing saying Porsche drivers can't drive. I tried to explain that it has to be that guy's first time, I hope.

Awesome!!

Fun video! Talk about going into some turns too hot!! Nice car control (for the most part...LOL). Thanks for sharing. J

What tires are you running?

Appears to be an "instructor" in the passenger seat. Or maybe someone on a ride along. But at the same time, it appears it was not the driver's first time. Pretty tough for a first time driver to save like that and that often.

Fun video. Thanks.

Cool video...looks like the driver had problems at the same corner combo (left-left) on each go around (btw I am not familiar with the track layout at VIR so I do not know what corner numbers they are). In regards to the CGT...damn that thing can move but then it should. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting that the left left gave that guy so much trouble... it's almost like he was trying to slide/drift the car on purpose...... or else he's just missing his braking point every time .

you made my day!

I sure hope that all the guys that went off track, exited, pulled all the stones out of their rim beads and checked their cars.

Sure made me miss my days at the track- may have to reconsider some DE's. Thanks for sharing.

Nice video, reminds me of how much I love my car. Peace, going for a drive!

Were they handing out free beer that day? I don't see that many screw ups in a whole season. The guy driving the 993 needs to learn how to feed in throttle at the apex (watch the graphic when it's there). You'd think after encountering oversteer that many times, he'd have figured it out.

Cool video, thanks for sharing.

Yes, I was thinking maybe it was just the bad turns he was showing. Turn 1 and turn 4 were kicking his a**! But then again, turn 1 can be interesting. 4 he consistantly early apexed. I've been out in those fields before. they're not as smooth as they seem before you go out in them. Darn sure smoother that the tire walls, though

Exactly my thoughts! It looks more like a go-kart event of a school class than DE.

Finally somebody else who turns on their windshield wipers at oh sh@# times

Phew. I was begining to wonder was this how all Porsche DE's were. He kept letting off the throttle in the turns.

Man that looks fun. Thanks for posting.

wow that was horrible. the instructor should have made him park the car and take the bus home.

Very cool - thanks - you made my Monday.

Very humble of you to include only clips of you getting passed. When you get a minute, please post some of you passing the GT! Thanks for sharing!

+1 Disclaimer: I've never been to VIR and am unfarmilliar with the layout. Are those guys trying to wreck those cars?!?!?! While drifting the car (sometimes successfully) through the turns might impress the high school kids, it shows me terrible driving skills sprinkled with moments of nice car control. If I saw those guys in front of me on track, I'd pit and wait for them to get half a lap away from me. If I saw that many incidents in one session, I'd go home. Hopefully this wasn't a Porsche sponsored event.

that was a Chin Motorsports event. the CGT spent more time in the grass than on the track. the boys with band-aid racing or whatever these jersey miscreants call themselves are apparently irresponsible and careless. i had one of them snap spin in front of me in turn 1. i opted for the off. i wonder what Mark would think of this obvious showboating were he to see this video. f'ing morons, they could have hurt somebody.

Not sure why anyone would applaud this behavior. Clearly the drivers knew what they were doing to save the cars (sometimes) and were working to unsettle them to show off. In the meantime they endangered everyone else at the event. As a right seater this stuff cannot be tolerated. People get hurt doing this crap. And we wonder why insurance companies are excluding coverage for Driver Education events... If they were not intentionally doing it then they just were pretty bad drivers and should have been reigned in a little more by the instructor. From experience, this can be hard but is sometimes required so that people and/or property are not hurt.

That was cool. Thanks.

very cool! Thanx

Somebody forgot to bring the black flags..........when they find them they should sew them together and give a few blanket parties starting with the instructors. I thought you were supposed to learn from your mistakes, not repeat them on every lap?

interesting responses....almost manic
