Wow this was a tremendous race this is just brilliant skilled driving. Just a ferocious battle between the Lambo, 458 Italia and the Cadillac CTS

C7R is in the ALMS series. That was the Pirelli challenge I believe.

Ok is incredible how lighting quick this DCT are.I don't know the shifting speeds of this cars but it have to be below 100 milliseconds.

The lambo is not the fastest in acceleration but the brakes are really good it can brake later and deeper in the corners.

Those are racing sequential gearboxes I'd guess, not DCTs. And the driver of the Lambo was awesome. Fantastic late braking into corner 1(?); out braked everyone there.

This cars generate huge downforce that allow to take the corners at insane speeds..

Yes but different 911's. The ALMS series ( and cars) are the top tier. There was a C6 in the Pirelli series, would be nice to see a C7 in it as well.

Talking about a sarcastic post from over a month ago that you and Glen Hughes did not get. Really got a chuckle as his own joke.

You missed the bus on that one old fart.
