The black Porsche in front looks (at about 3:30) looks like it is taking evasive action to avoid being targeted by a GAU-8/A Avenger 30mm cannon

You have to feel for the guy in the GT3. He's spent something like $300k on his car, and there's an MX-5 up his trumpet!

Took over 20 secs to overtake the MX5 which was slowing down after it crossed the finish line!

Porsche was poorly dríven whereas the NC was very well dríven.

Drove a BRZ there years ago and overtook Audi R8 etc like they were standing still,
more likely their caution as I checked with the local tame racing drivers and my
time was nearly 45 seconds off the PB for car I was driving.

It takes more than a few laps to get the hang of the place, and your enthusiasm is
tempered by knowing damage to the barriers is on your dime up to and beyond $20,000 AUD

Still the absolute best piece of tarmac in the world. everyone that can go should.

That's Robert Serwanski though... Koenigsegggg's test driver. Plus, he's a proper mx5 racer and has dríven the ring (edit: in THAT car) a million times... bit unfair I think
