Re: If you ever wanted to sit in Vic's lap
Thanks for posting that Adam , really enjoyed it . The Corvette really closed fast on the long straights after being overtaken ( HP ?) but Vic had the edge and commitment on corners

The Vet has to conserve his brakes they can heat up.

Re: If you ever wanted to sit in Vic's lap
really cool clip VIC great sound .. i kept looking for the track map in the corner of the screen like a video game LOL. Vic was turning some serious r's 7 / 8k wow. i was thinking the same thing Edwin and Thomas, the vet had the top end closed that gap super quick on the straights but definitely didn't have the breaking or the cornering , always braking early . giving vic the advantage .. what was the car out in front ?? looks like he just disappeared best of both worlds.

Re: If you ever wanted to sit in Vic's lap
Vic tried to get me to sit in his lap once but I declined....not that there's anything wrong with that.
Top speed at Sebring should be in the 120-125 range I think. Vic's lap average was 86mph.

Re: If you ever wanted to sit in Vic's lap
Classic!
Just like the old days.
The Corvette has the power.
The Porsche has...well, everything else...brakes and cornering.
(And of course Vic is maybe the best 356 pilot ever.)

Re: If you ever wanted to sit in Vic's lap
Really good driving, the black car had more power but
it didn’t help against Vic & Porsche. I would really like
to sit in the passenger seat when Vic drive.
Nice memories of Sebring where I learned a little how
to drive on track.
