I think that's what I saw. correct me if I'm wrong.
I won't correct you, but I thought the Mustang driver was out of control way too many times.

What do you mean about "out gearing it in the sharp turns" or "outmuscling it in the sharp turns with superior gearing"?

I've done a lot of track days but still don't pretend to be an expert, but the Mustang driver was WAY too sideways WAY too many times.

If you are driving on a track for the second lap, you know what gear to be in. You cannot out gear another driver. And the Mustang driver looked cool with the dofirto but that is not the fast way around a corner.

What I took out of this video is that a FR500C can pull a C5 Vette on the straits. Wow, just wow.
