He was running pretty quick and consistent. But both the Ferrari and my car were not optimized for a track as rough as Nelson
I'll be at Mid Ohio for the NASA event in July, stop by and check out some racing. Better yet, sign up and drive on one of the best road courses in the US

did they chop the F430 engine in half for this challenge? it should have 2.5 times the horsepower you do yet you were pulling on them in the straights, that should not happen... gotta love pansy *** rich people who can't drive.
the F430 challenge cars also weigh less than your 2850lb curb weight at 2701lbs curb weight, there's no reason they should be lagging behind unless they had governor's installed to keep the throttle from going further than 20%.
i just don't get it, unless they were instructionals.

Let's get silly...

So a torquey motor with a fairly flat power curve is ideal. To give you an idea, the most dominating cars in these classes are sometimes boosted cars that run high boost at low rpm but bleed it off as the RPMS rise to have a flat power curve...

We were both running laps averaging over 90mph. Look closer he was putting buslengths on me in the straights. He may be rich but he wasn't being a pansy. It takes ***** to hustle a car around Nelson Ledges, some drivers refuse to race there claiming it's too dangerous.
