Thumbs up Exige vs Evo8, Impressive track video.

Video poster claims the Exige is running a Bemani Compressor.
Evo with 345HP and Exige with 265HP... great white knuckle driving though.

The Evo was hugging the corners tighter than the Exige. From what I can tell, I think the Exige has a lot more room to go faster in the corners. I could be wrong.

I may be a wuss, but I would have let the Evo pass way before the Exige driver did on last straight.

It also seemed that the Evo driver was a little more skilled than the Exige driver, in that the Exige driver hit the brakes a bit sooner than necessary.

i love the sound of the exige as it stays next to the evo down the last straight

i wonder what the black exige had that was in front of the orange one, it seemed to pull away a considerable distance by about a minute and a half in

Cool video.

One of my favorite "virtual" tracks (GT Legends). Have not yet seen a video of it live. That straight is looooong.

I agree after the long straight the guy in the lotus braked way too soon.

The Lotus driver was missing his apex's by a mile. If the Evo wasn't blowing by him on the straights, the Lotus would have been a lot faster IMO with equal drivers.

Is it just me or did the Elise leave them both for dead?

I agree the Exige driver needed a great deal of work. I'll give him this, he needs less work than I!

I him for being out there in the first place.

Cool video. It seemed the Exige driver started missing the apex by a wider margin as the EVO got closer.

The Exige was missing the apexes way too often, that can cost you maga time at the end of a lap. The black Exige was gone! though.

Yeah, Evo driver was definately braking later. Going into turn one on the first full lap we see is where he makes up just about all of the distance. Then he stays right on the Exige's rear until finally passing on the last straight.
