Very Cool.
The ring is always crazy. He seemed to get a little ragged in spots.

WOW. My hearts still beating fast. Once around that track, I'd have to take a nap.

Gives new meaning to the phrase "a happy tire is a squealing tire"

I need to get out of the Canadian section more often. This video has been posted no less than 15 times in other forums.
But I got it first in the Canadian forum.
This track is on my TO DO list before I pass. Klaus (csurfer) was there a couple of weeks ago. He had a blast driving the Merc diesel rental.

The official GTR time was 7:29, the 7:25 run was not an official timing.

Very cool video, I only wish I could have those kind of driving skills, a place to do it and of course that car.
