[quote name='rhudeboye' post='40056' date='Aug 17 2007, 03:15 PM']LOL I think it was a civic that you came upon near the end of the video. You definitely got more aggressive when you spotted him as I could hear you really winding the gears out. Way to put him where he belongs, behind you![/quote]
Ahem, that's actually a 944 Turbo, but you would
think it was a Civic... You're right about my reaction, though. I even forgot to change into fourth and hit the rev limiter at 7,1. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/unsure.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

well thats a rare mistaken identity. but hey, the sun was in my eyes <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/rolleyes.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
I re-watched the run and noticed that your pass was done in a split sec. I think that turbos spooled lowers your confidence when entering corners. That or your a mad man.
I love my 968 for what it is & don't hate it for what it isn't!

[quote name='Renalicious' post='40081' date='Aug 18 2007, 07:16 AM']Man does that track look like something out of an old Sega racing game or what? Clear blue skies, bushes along the track side, and wind turbines spinning away. Awesome!![/quote]
(Sorry about going off topic for Modifications here. Perhaps a moderator should move this whole thread to Racing?) Anyway...
The track is beautiful indeed. It was built only recently in a limestone quarry on Sweden's largest island, Gotland. It's currently 3.2 km long, but they are working on an extension to 7.4 km, which will make it one of the longest race tracks in the World. Check out
the Gotland Ring website for more.
