First Laps Around Portimao

June 18, 2025

Drove some laps at Aut贸dromo Internacional do Algarve in a Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S.

Crazy fun. Now I want more track time, probably with my own car next 馃憖

Instructor praised me for smooth and precise driving multiple times, so cool to see that sim racing translates to real life.

And it鈥檚 a tricky circuit with big crests and blind corners.

I was cautious under braking, over-slowing a bit, but I exited corners flat out at the limit of grip, which felt awesome.

Honestly surprised at how quickly I felt comfortable. Need to plan more track time now.
