To be honest I was thinking it was the GTR or the LFA that would win. The LFA driver pushed to hard into the S turns and under steered. That gave the GTR the chance to slip ahead. I was surprised to see the GT2RS pass the LFA the way it did. I am, and always will be, a GTR fan. The car literally defies physics. Consider its weight, HP, and size and its even more impressive. Great race . Thanks for sharing the video

I was on that too. Of all the cars, the LFA had the best cabin sound by far. The Porsche driver seemed to almost be fighting the car to keep up. I've heard that Porsches are demanding to drive fast and can be a handful. Now I can see why.

Nevertheless, the GTR's speed was unexpected and amazing.

You mean it's disappointing to see the LFA's driver fall 3 seconds behind the GT-R's driver. I'll bet if you switched drivers, you'd get an entirely different outcome.

Yeah but we can debate driver skill until the cows come home.

you never know. The 2012 GTR is no joke. They amped it up and made some very significant changes
