Chasing a Honda S2000 at Hallett HST

First a couple of laps trying to keep up with an M3 - not much success! Being chased by Andrey's S2000 at the same time.

On the main straight I wave Andrey by, then try to keep up. Unfortunately there is only one chase lap - this was the last session of the day and the camera batteries died shortly after my bobble at turn 10. We had a super run for four or five laps after that, with me very very slowly gaining until I went off altogether at turn 6 just pushing too hard! My passenger sure got a thrill. Maybe next time . . .

Thanks. I was pretty consistently in low 1.36s without a passenger. This session was with a passenger though and I think they were mostly 1.37s and 1.38s (extra weight really affects 117hp!). Tires are also about done - I got a 1.35.063 earlier in the season and have been chasing it ever since!

Very cool man! You were hitting it pretty hard. What was your best time of the day?
