Hey guys,
I was lucky to be invited by Yokohama to attend today's event. That's is why the cones were out already.
You get to drive 4 turbo mini cooper.
1- w/ Yoko ENVigor - a new all season tire
2- w/ Yoko S-drive
3- w/ Yoko Run Flat - same design as the Advan Sport but harder sidewall
4- w/ Yoko Neova AD08

The Track is not too hard, just a few S-Turns and off-camber turns. There is a-lot of gravel out side of the lanes so be careful. Try not to stay off the throttle too long because there is a long Lag time for the turbo to spool up again. You'll understand when you drive the first car.
We didn't need any helmet or gloves.
Just wanted to give you heads up on the track.
FYI: my best time was 37.7 with the #4 car.

Have Fun!!!!

Depends if the weather/conditions are comparable. I'll be sunday morning at 9am, probably quite a bit different than saturday afternoon.

You are betting against Voo on an Auto X track?
