Red face Driving Cricket's GT3

Last weekend I had the opportunity to drive a friend's GT3 at Road America. It was setup is very similar to mine, very interesting to drive two different GT3's on the same racetrack. I was very comfortable in his car after a couple of laps.

Mine had larger brakes, a more solidly mounted roll bar, and stiffer bushing links.

I could feel the difference mainly under braking from high speed, his car would dance a bit. I was driving the car conservatively (not my car) and with a passenger, towards the end I banged out five 2:39 laps in a row consistantly.

Thumbs up

Special thanks to GMG for that fine sounding exhaust, and their support with my GT3.

GMG has been killing it lately with incredible stuff, very impressed with Fab and James.

My car does that a bit too, also tires and pressures attribute to that!

Sick video and GT3 Jim
