Good driving and some nice drifts in the rain there.

You should also look into using the spot metering feature (assuming you have a GoPro) and making sure it isn't aimed directly at your rear view mirror in case you did have it on. You will get a much better view out the car and still be able to see your work on t he steering wheel, shifting, etc.

I do a lot of iracing as well since I run spec miata series. Great tool for learning tracks and race lines.

Nice driving, especially the drift turn!

Kept hearing "The Distance" in my mind while watching...
"The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup,
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns,
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.

He's going the distance.
He's going for speed..."
-Cake

Nice driving, I went out drifting with my scion today for the first time, we had went and dry weather I personally love the way she handles the dry pavement. Did you have any mods on this car at the time of the video?

How is that uphill turn with the RWD? For some reason in Simraceway I always lose control and spin when going over that hill. Now I fear going to the real thing again haha
