Video: Track day with New GTRs..

Over the weekend, I had a chance to run with the new GTRs at the Speed For Sale event.. 4 new Nissan GTRs showed up. All I can say is they are impressive sports cars.

This was my first time on the track in a rain.. and all the GTR driver's first time on the track.. But they kicked pretty much everyone's ***.

Video of me running: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdADt5vNOxk

Here are the few pics from the track day (Speed For Sale event).

Here is another video of the GTR... I rode with the driver and used my 10.5mm Nikon lens with D90.

Racing V8 RX7 and GTR trapped just over 120mph and just over 12 sec... Bone stock GTR with just normal setting.

Fastest he got without launch control on was 11.8 sec.
