Good to know, thanks man.

I think it says a great deal about the car that the owners are so passionate about them. Probably does the brand good to have owners talking with prospective buyers about how much we enjoy these awesome machines.

I'm glad I noticed this post. I just signed up for the 4-5 time, which is in only 3.5hrs! Now I need to sneak away from work.

Just got back from session 1 and all I have to say is WOW this car is amazing. By lap 3 the front tires were pushing out a bit. My friend went with even though the session was full but they let him sign up there. If you are reading this during the event stop and get to PIR and drive the crap outta these cars! All my in car video is a joke from all the movement so bring a suction cupped camera. There was a guy who was taking pictures at the far end of the course so I gave him my email address to send me some high quality pics! I want to go again!!!!

Oh ya and you get an FR-S hat!!!

So.. much.. fun! Plus the freebies are cool! lol. I must say the stickier tires works wonders for this car. And is it just me or did these cars have better throttle response? Could it be the c.b exhaust?

Hahahahaha.... that was funny. I turned TRAC off and then tried to drift the corner, but since the car was an automatic I couldn't get teh rear end out (and we were forbidden to use the parking brake) so I understeered the entire corner. I only took out three cones? I thought it was worse than that! Hehe... a little embarrassing, but still fun.

Probably cause he was the only one to turn TRAC off. lol. I was tempted to take TRAC off, but I didn't wanna go against their wishes (it was poorly blocked off to begin with).

I enjoyed the course though. Tires put the car on rails around the first hairpin and going high speed through the slalom was loads of fun. Car felt very confident. Got to push this car harder than I've done to my own.

You may have hit more, but you stuck one under each front wheel and one to the rear bumper. Literally ate them. Nom nom nom.
