Mini GP2 v Porsche GT3RS

Thought you might like to see a video of the first part of my recent euro trip to Italy from Scotland, taking in a few Alpine passes in Switzerland.
A good time of year I think as most were pretty quiet, some great roads to drive on and mainly pretty good surfaces. The GP was in it's element here, brakes were superb the whole time with absolutely no fading. Handling was also great and never too far behind the Porsche, well apart from the straight bits I suppose !!

Nice video, just hope those cars are never on the Dragon. There would

be fatalities driving like that.

Not familiar with the 'Dragon', but I think with the wide angle camera it looks faster that it actually was, rarely over 60 mph on the clear stretches.

I don't think the title was very accurate. I didn't see anything that looked like real "hooning"--driving stupidly fast or dangerously.

Though I think I saw 102 km/h early in the video--that's about 63 MPH! What could you have been thinking?

I didn't even see any lurid slides, which should have been easy in the GT3 in the wet...

Don't have any problem with the speed it's the crossing into the on

coming lane that would get someone killed on the Dragon. I'm not

trying to confuse apples with oranges here, the Dragon is way, way

tighter than the roads shown on the video. That is my only point.
