I think is is an old C5T1 keeping pace with a couple GT3. C5's are just plain fast.

Fun vid! It looks like the p driver really gave up a lot in braking, then gained a lot on corner exits.

Well you can't beat them up at their own event they may not invite you back.

The Falconator drives pretty good for an old man. In fact, one of those laps was a 2:06.7, which is cookin' around VIR, especially on old 710s. With some new shocks and fresh tires he should have a shot at Chris Ingle's 2:05.2, which I think may be the track record in a T1 car.

Nah, Chris' record, although impressive, was broken last year by Andrew Aquilante. Don't have the numbers available right now, but my recollection is something like 2:03.xx.

Yes 2:03.xx It is amazing what a great set of Shocks can do to drop lap times.

Not to mention AJ is a great set up man AND driver.

That was some excellent driving!! I bet a down shift into 2nd at Oak Tree might have resulted in the Falcon pulling on the GT3.

In any case great driving by both.

What are the best times for a C6 Z06 at VIR Full?
