Got it! Here is a cool video my son edited that features both Denny and I! You should definitely join us as the racing in our class is really good!

Nice video, and some great racing too. Thanks for sharing!!
Cool little cars - we don't have them here in Africa.
Pity, because they look like a lot of fun, and a big field too.

Track: Red Star Raceway, South Africa, 4.2 kms (2.6 mi)
Car: Toyota 86, std spec
Mods: Vortech SC low boost 0.44bar (6psi), decat exhaust, crash bolts, 225/45x17 RE11S semis.

This track was built for motorcycles, but opened (sometimes) for cars about 3 years ago.
It's very tight, very technical, very hard work, very safe with massive runoff areas, and it's a lot of fun!!

Bored, surfing around, and found this old racetrack video of mine from last year.
It remains one of my favourite vids.
Scooby Fest 2016, Red Star Raceway, South Africa - trying to hang in (unsuccessfully) with the guys that got double my horses.
I really like the soundtrack (Hotel California) which I put it in to smudge the bad sound on the vid.

Track: Palmer Motorsports
Car: 17 BRZ stock
Comments: For those that have driven Palmer, you have to try clockwise in the future. SCDA did it clockwise for their last event of the season there and I actually liked it better. Turn 4 & 5 which was difficult for me uphill, feels so much better down hill. Also ending the front straight going up through turn 14 and 13 is far better than ending the front straight in turn 1.
They did not renumber the turns for this event, so the turns are descending order.

MOVIN'! Seriously fast stuff, Robbie. Nice work.
I'm surprised you leave it in third gear going into T10. I'm bouncing off the limiter there.
Also, you leave it in third going through T11. I've started to downshift to second there based on our earlier discussions. Something tells me you're getting better grip than I am.
How fast are you going through T4? The best I've managed is 74 or 75. But anything over 71 there is a little pucker for me.
It's amazing to me how many different ways there are to shift on that track in these cars without one option being far superior than others.

Hey Pat, I’ve waffled between 2nd and 3rd in that corner and turn 2. It feels faster on exit to shift to second, but looking at data, there’s not a lot to be had at the speed I can manage through those corners and it makes the car less sketchy and I’m less likely to bang the limiter coming out.

Most of the time I’m doing between 74-77 through 4. I think I can still get more out of it. I just need to sack up and do it!

Being behind you in that last session was interesting seeing your lines into 6 and 11. I may try them and see if there’s anything there! Always fun to see you out at the track!
