HI Guys, All I can say to those who are criticizing Ezra's driving just don't know what you are talking about. It is easy for the average guy to sit at a computer screen and claim that a driver is not going fast. It is entirely different when you are behind the wheel, with 300-400' drop offs and no guardrails. I won the event, and I look at my own video and say it looks slow, but then I remember that was not the case when I was at speed on the 341.

Thanks

@gallardogt He explained his choice in Automobile magazine Oct.2010 issue. "Look, if I were going to buy a 911 Turbo for myself, then I'd get the one with a manual transmission. However, I'm trying to set the fastest time possible up this hill, and Turbos with the PDK gearbox are simply quicker than Turbos without it." He does say that he used the PDK in "ultra-aggressive Sport Plus mode" and shifted manually.  Just FYI

@tobiasbo Covering 5.2 miles in 3 minutes 33 seconds means he was averaging 100mph. Hardly "driving like a girl..."

This video gives a good view about the new Turbo although it's very disappointing he uses the automatic mode of the PDK ... even after 10 laps!
