Default Video... 2 interesting saves at Homestead

Turn 6 is pretty slow but I managed to get loose and save it. But on turn 10 coming down off the banking into the infield--turn in is at 100-105. I managed to get pretty out of shape and made a pretty exciting save!

Good quality video, short with just the 2 incidents and some slow motion for effect...

Outstanding!

Note - The video I downloaded only shows the save at turn 10. It's the more exciting one, but I still want to see the other.

I forgot that I cut out the slow one... Didn't want to have a huge file.

Nice job with the save.. On what tires? I don't know the track; was the cause too much speed, too early on the turn, something else?

Hey airsport,

Excellent save. Hope you have the racing seat with the wipe-off easy clean surface. Will you be coming up to road atlanta this year? I would love to take a ride.

Thanks! Kumho Victo's. They just re-paved the banking at the track so the line had a bump getting back to the infield. Too much speed was also involved but what started the show was the bump. I was trying to sort out the smoothest line--there are lots of lines for this turn--and found a dip in the track just before the pitch change to the infield.

Also I did a drifting style turn in a slow section half a lap before and the kumhos were pretty worked up... And it was my first session--tires heated up to 40psi.


ORIF 1, I'm looking forward to my next trip to Road Atlanta. Just don't know when it is...
