I just drove Mid-Ohio in iRacing the other day and loved it. I think the technical nature of the track (especially T7-14) will really suit the FRS/BRZ.

Mid Ohio is a great track, just not very forgiving :/

This...

awesome track but you need to be focused and slowly explore the limits. There are spots where a mistake can be VERY costly.

Ah, won't be there. I help run the ITR expo event which is two days t mid Ohio in sept for $395 including a catered banquet one of the nights so basically $125 more than auto interests event but includes another day for a bunch more seat time, event tshirt, good dinner one night. Austin (gtm) will be at my event also. It's sept 9-10 in case you are interested.

I registered March or April for novice. Thanks to OP for the heads up. Working in retail means that weekends belong to the company.

Gotcha! There's a chance I may be able to be your instructor. That'd be fun!

Great seeing so many of you guys out yesterday! Little bit of rain in the AM making things interesting, but it dried up real nice by the afternoon. Post up any footage or photos you have!

I had a blast, especially when it dried up. I really can't wait to get back there!

Here's some pics I have..I think I have a short video but my phone ran out of storage a few minutes into a session.
