Dang, that looks like way too much fun. Can't wait to finally take my BRZ out to the track. I'm guessing this was you in the video? What cameras were used to record this?

Yep, this is my fourth or fifth time on a track and I have a handful of PDXs in this car as well.

I am using two GoPro Hero 3s. The battery life is the only thing that is meh, but it is still about an hour and a half of recording.

I went through one set of RS3s this season and did <10 events (PDX or AutoX)

Need a new set of rubber after winter is done.

Mine is stock, and he had previous track experience, since he was in the intermediate group, but I will say he was babying it in a few of the corners.

Yeah, I am working on becoming an SCCA instructor so I swap rides with the individuals who are already instructors in my region just to get more practice.

boxer 2.5 09-30-2013 03:38 AM

Awesome! And yes that Porche was babying it. Maybe running stock tires?

Go to track with the stock tires at least once, so you know what to expect from better tires in the future runs.

"Guess he doesn't like turns. Maybe he should take up drag racing." LOL!

Quite possibly, but he isn't even grabbing rumble strips. As well through the schicane, turn 1, after the front straight he was taking at about 80mph, which I normally take at 110-120 in the Toyo. Could just be preference though, since PDXs aren't races.

That was very anti-climatic.
