AMG GTS on Bahrain International Circuit
We had an event called TrackFight in Bahrain. Took out my car to see what he can do and have to say very impressed!
My best time was 1:15.72
In comparison with other cars to those who aren't familiar with this track,
Porsche 991 GT3RS: 1:12.10
Porsche 991 GT3: 1:13.67
Porsche GT4: 1:15.27
Ferrari 458 Italia: 1:15:67
Mercedes AMG GTS: 1:15:72
My braking was very early as you all can see and i was turning very early on a few turns. Im not a very good driver as you can see with the video, been getting a few tips and cant wait for the next session. Aiming for 1:14s hopefuly, and incase anyone asks, the car is bone stock and tires are Michelin Super Sports and nope, no ceramics on this one!
Video of my lap is is below

Love it! Don't worry about not being as fast as some others. You'll learn to brake later as you learn to trust the car and see its limits and yours. The guys who go too hot into a corner spend too much time correcting and being sideways. Sideways is slow! Looks like so much fun. I can't wait to get out on the track with the September Laguna Seca AMG Driving Academy for two days. That way I can push someone else's GT S to the limit and go through someone else's tires! Randy Pobst has a great video of him driving a GT S on Laguna Seca - although I'm sure I won't be able to get to his time!
