Working on Leon's track day video right now and will be up later today.

I wanted to give you guys a few excerpts from his driver's summary of the autocross day as well.

To give you some context on his perspective, Leon has driven his S2000 in 5 track days and as mentioned earlier is one of our Engineers. This was his first time driving our BRZ (or any BRZ or FR-S for that matter) in a motorsports event.

Here's some of his comments:
  • Left TC and ASC on first run, very intrusive
  • Car is very grip-limited in all aspects: braking, cornering, accelerating
  • Lots of turn-in understeer as well as mid-corner (steady state) understeer
  • The throttle pedal, on the other hand, is very annoying. Engine does not tip-in until pedal is depressed by ½” or so; makes smooth takeoffs and part-throttle modulation more difficult than it should be
  • Need more headroom! (Leon is 6'2")
