Evaluation of myself. I'm an autocrosser and haven't road raced in about 4 years. I break way too hard and am still not as smooth as I should be. I look forward to taking ownership of my own C8, but am convinced that my 3 year plan to dump it and replace with a C8 Z06 is absolutely the correct decision.

Observations:

I fit just fine...way better than the C7.
Still love the LCD rearview mirror.
Handling was great, but this being my first laps doesn't do this car justice.
Power is weak.
Fit and finish is awesome.
I scored this one 3rd behind the R8, but if the course was different where power wasn't rewarded, the order would have changed.
*brake

If the instructor grabbed the wheel while I was driving, he would have received a forearm across the face.
