Mom in the F 488. Instructor slower than GWiz.



Driver commentary is hilarious. Claims 130 on backstretch, hits 126. Claims 100+ in another turn and is actually doing 55. GWiz vaporized this guy. :lol:

I like the burble of the Merc, but the Pista owns EVERY category possible. C8 sounded better than the Merc to me. In the Pista, sound, handling, power, comfort, speed vaporized the field, ..... but again, for $390,000 I would hope that would be the case.

So, some updates since yesterday. They have to fix G's gender in the standings, but she now holds the FEMALE TRACK RECORD BY 1 FULL SECOND in the Ferrari Pista, she's 7th of 1,091 women in 2020. She is 17th all time (4,565 women), and she and I are 5th and 7th of 992 drivers for all of October.

Woah, look at that! I'm #1 for men for the entire month of October. That's great until you add females to that metric. :leaving:

Put this in perspective.....GWiz has NEVER road raced ever!!! She's been autocrossing for 8 years, but to be 7/10ths off of Mario Andretti on her first day ever at that track, or any track, it speaks volumes. She may be a natural. Might need to dig into this sport a bit more.

You know how old Mario was when he did his lap? 78 in 2018. That said, she would beat me by a couple minutes.:leaving:

I'd have to look it up, but yes, I know he's up there, but then again, he has a 50+ year racing career. Having said that, there are a boat load of professional drivers in the ranks at this track.

GWiz is in the top 1.1% of all drivers ever. 541 out of 47,595 drivers, having never set foot on a racetrack before in her life. :faint: I'm 1,048 :(
