[QUOTE="Voltwings, post: 15783741, member: 155561"] The problem i have with this (and this is in NO way a personal attack) is that you have these people who show up in these high dollar DCT cars and think they're the shit because their money is taking them around the track fast when in reality they're terrible drivers. The modern car has made way too many people too comfortable. I'm in one of the more advanced run groups and we had a guy with an M4 show up talking about how great he was and that he needed to be in our group... this guy spent the whole day nearly causing wrecks and he actually drove straight off track right in front of me. I'd be willing to bet he wasn't half as good as his car made him think he was. I think having to focus on shifting, apexes, brakes, etc is part of the experience, you need to be able to do all of that to be more aware of what's going on. Again, i understand that there will be the casual HPDE guy who simply just wants to come out and enjoy his car, i 100% am ok with that. I am not Ok with all this fancy tech boosting egos and hindering fundamentals. We also had a guy in a supercharged 800 whp Camaro come out and fly straight off the end of the straight, and he ended up going home on a flat bed. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of run groups start putting restrictions on what people are allowed to bring due to the increasing liabilities. 755 is WAY too much for the road course, it just isn't needed.
