Had a great chase behind this green Mclaren 650S. Sadly, my GoPro failed during my stint with my fastest lap, so I don't have footage of the 1:55.70 this time around. Looking at the telemetry for this lap, I lost about 1.3 seconds behind the Mclaren in the final sector compared to my best lap, but gained 0.2 seconds back in the final 2 turns: imgur.com/a/Pp...

Very nice video! Pleasant to watch. What is your favorite between gt3 and Exige s v6? What can you tell me? I have a 350 sport right now. Gt3 could be the next... I don't know. Thanks.

Thanks! I don't have a lot of experience in the V6 Exiges (mine is the second gen ~900kg 4 cylinder one). From hearing about them and seeing people drive them, I feel like I made the right choice with my GT3. I prefer the extra character the car has both in handling due to the rear engine and in emotion due to the flat six sound of that engine.

funny is that most exige s 350 are slower on the track than an gt3 on semi slicks, which for me was very surprising, could be the driver could be the car... I guess both cars are fast and it is probably more difficult to drive the exige s on the limit, Gt3 are not so difficult to handle as what media tells you
