Well, I have to say that it was one of the best "drives" I've had. Ian didn't know what he was getting into when I quickly jumped at the opportunity to lead the final group through the run.

Leading with free road ahead means you can set the pace. I'm glad Ian was as vocal as he was during the run as I was able to gauge and anticipate a lot of the heavy braking (esp. in the middle of some hard turns) based on his reaction as he had a much better view of some of the left turns and also noticed him looking through the trees on some right turns.

Because of this, I was able to keep the car balanced and the turns nice a tidy... though at times, break neck speeds... the only 2 cars that were able to keep up was the 911 Turbo and a Red Diablo... and that was only because we ran into slow traffic every 5-10km...

There were no "kits" but there was a Lambo that was not 100% real but it was fully custom built so it shared all the dimensions and about 40% were original. That custom built Diablo is probably faster than the real ones... and was the only Diablo who kept up with us!
