I thought I'd share this video with my fellow track addicts.
I'm from South Africa, and we don't have many racetracks available for track days, etc, but this track is one which we enjoy, and it's the closest for me (about 280kms/175miles) from my home
This was recorded in April at Scooby Fest where us half-Scoobies were very welcome, and the very hot Evo which you'll see in the video was welcome too.
It was a great Petrolheads day with 150+ stunning cars there.
The track (Red Star Raceway) is 4.2kms(2.6mi), has many tight corners, and almost nothing to crash into
It was built as a motorcycle track, but is now open to cars too.
And we love it because it's safe, slow'ish and technical.
It's also a bi-directional track, and they change direction every 6 months which is great leveller.
Just as you think you've got the answer, they change the question.
The STI's and the Evo in the video are all about 600hp, so it was a forlorn hope for me to stay with them because I've only got half that power, but I had more local knowledge and my 86 is quick in the twisties.
It was fun anyway, and I nearly hung with the big boys.
The video starts on our warm-up up, so we only put the hammer down about 2 minutes into the video.
I'm quite an old wrinkly, so the music is from my era, and is one of my favourites.
I hope you enjoy the video.
I've added a pic of my car and the track layout.
Guess what the section between T4 and T8 is called?
