A heart-stopping shift-lock moment in the wet at Sportsland SUGO. Published deliberately as a symbol of how frightening WET running is.
A pathetic sight at Sportsland SUGO in the rain I got a shift-lock and scared myself silly. Picture quality C It is a pathetic sight, but the wet is (((( ；ﾟДﾟ)))ｶﾞｸｶﾞｸﾌﾞﾙﾌﾞﾙ and this is a symbolic example of it, so I am putting my shame on display.

先日SUGOにて走行会に参加する。 あいにくのWETコンディション。 コース上はSPインコーナーと馬の背立ち上がりのみドライ SPインへの進入は急激にグリップが回復するため 絶えずオーバーステア気味・・・ それ以外はほぼWETでのコース状況 RX-7はヨコハマのネオバ 964RSはパイロットスポーツカップ ポルシェ964RSでは ４時間の走行のうち３０分ほどタイヤが暖まり タイヤのぬれが無くなったときにベストラップ １：４９秒台 これ以外は１分５０秒前後のタイム こんな日はがんばってもしょうがないので、 そのタイムのままFDで楽しむことにする。

| Period | Car | Best | Tire | Length | Summary | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Porsche 964 Carrera RS | 1:36.997 | Michelin Pilot Sport Cup | 1:54 | Dry throughout, with the personal best improved by about 1.2 seconds. Rated a time that stands comparison with that year's PCJ Cup results. | ||
| Porsche 964 Carrera RS | 1:40 | P-ZERO CORSA (other car) | 3:10 | A 964 RS chasing a 911 GT3 RS. A record of the time coming down from the 1:45 bracket on day one to 1:40. | ||
| Porsche 964 Carrera RS | 1:49 | Unknown | 6:57 | Every lap within 1:49 plus one second. In the wet at Sportsland SUGO the kerbs have extremely low surface grip (μ), so they are barely used. Audio removed. | ||
| Porsche 964 Carrera RS | No lap time | Unknown | 3:55 | A 911 GT3 RS spin recorded from both the onboard and the following 964 RS. The sense of being pulled away from on the straights is on a par with a 993 GT2. | ||
| Porsche 996 GT3 RS | No lap time | Unknown | 6:05 | 996 GT3 RS running. |
