When Marco pointed this driver by, I don't think this is what he had in mind...

welp, i'm glad he didn't try to turn in and be a hero at the last minute, at least.

and man, the first time you come up to 3 on the outside, you're in for an unpleasant surprise />/>/>/>
yeah that is my classmate that went off lol.

Lol oopsies.

No worries, that was me. I was frustrated that that guy wasn't pointing me by and then when he did I got excited and went into that corner too fast. I realized it would be too dangerous to turn in there, so I went rally racing /> Besides, the fastest way around the track is the dirt road. I think I turned a 1 minute lap />

I ordered up some new brake pads now. Those HP+ pads are getting sketchy!

Lol fastest lap of the day.

Wow good thing he didn't catch tire there! Turn 5 had me siked out all day, I really did slow down for it because I didn't feel like I had the balls to go over it without over compensating by either gasing through it, or braking too late.

I just sort of let off and rolled through it and got back on it mid turn haha. Whether it was the right or wrong thing to do I'm not sure but it kept me on the pavement for that turn all day. I can't speak on behalf of turn 8/9/15 though
I was behind you in the Sebring AP1 when you went off track. I'm glad you and your car are ok.
Yeah thanks I ended up being fine...Car and all. It could have been much worse.

Think I can get one more track day out of these brake pads?



I've only had them for 3 track days.

Here's my final session of the day.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7H5rE2l9jU

Not my quickest session. My tire pressures were far too high for the day but I had a blast my first time to Thunderhill and my first time driving the S2000 on track. I was pretty conservative most of the day.

On the beginning of my third lap of the session my low fuel indicator came on so I slowed down at the end of it and coasted around back to the pits.

My quickest times of the day were around 2'12.x-2'13.x but with better use of the track and braking zones (and proper tire pressure) I think I should be well under 2'10 in a stock S2000.

The custom GT5 style HUD is something I have been playing around with so this was a good opportunity to use it. Measures lap time within 1/24th in this case with 24fps (.042 seconds). Camera is a GoPro Hero2 mounted to my helmet recording 1080-24fps ProTune, sharpening added back in GoPro cineform studio and simple color correction done in After Effects. Also a slight EQ applied to remove some wind noise.

Yes, XP10. Edwin recommended the RP2 for similar feel, but longer life.
Edit: OK, not quite the same feel, but still good:
