Did two laps in 1971 while in the USAF. In my 1970 LT-1 with white walls! No video phone of course. A real hoot.

Give him a break!! You have no clue unless you have run the Green Hell.
The hole damn track is APEX!!! Narrow as all get out, one mistake and guaranteed Armco action.

Nice VID OP thanks for posting

This year they raised it to 120€ per 4 laps so it's getting expensive out here, and about the braking on the apex, when you start feeling the nose sliding toward the wall I try to slow the tire so it catches again lol. That track is pretty fun though and really tricky, although it sucks how one mistake could cost you the car easily

It's a very high speed track with very little room for error. Getting through it without going off course is the prime objective, lap time is not.

I would hesitate to criticize anyone's lap on a track that I've never driven on.
