Brings back memories. Took a driver's school there in '70, lots more walls, fences, and guardrails now, but still a beautiful drive. And regardless of racing or just the club gymkhana, those peskie Super 7s were always a PITA. Nice drive, thanks for sharing.  :thumb:

Hi all.
That little Michelin yellow GoKart is really flying, on straight lines, but in curves,
look as if having a little problems.
Thanks, I've enjoyed that video. :thumb:

It's not the car, it's the driver's ability or lack thereof, which is why the Alfa catches him in the corners.

Hi ltr317.
Thanks for educating the ignorant Guy 13 from planet Vietnam. :lol:
I only drive a 110cc motorcycle and even if I've owned 21 cars
up to know, I guess I don't know much about car racing.

Since you drive a low powered motorcycle you might already know that momentum is the key to keeping up the speed around corners.  I used to race a low powered formula/spec car and in order to keep up or beat higher powered cars, I had to learn to brake later and some times brake less going into the turns.
