Had the great opportunity to be a part of the first PDE to run on PittRace's new full course. I think the new section of track will really put this place on the map. Had such a great time!

no worries come say hi and next time, I am planning to make some changes to the car (new thermostat, header and front pipe) and hopefully make it couple events at RMP in August or September

Calabogie Motorsports Park (~50 minutes from Ottawa). Great track, first time I've made the trip up there but definitely won't be the last!

Track: Gateway Motor Speedway
Car: 2013 FRS
Mods: 225/45/17 Direzza Z2 2013 model
Notes/Comments:
-First time on this course. Second time on a Road course.
-There is another session on my YouTube page along with all my autox videos I've made.
-Also Gopro Hero 4 Silver, first time I have ever used protune and it white washed most of the outside of the car video. Wont use protune again.

Anything shot with protune that isn't color corrected in editing is pretty much guaranteed to look worse than if you aren't using protune. If you're editing properly you can get much better results though.

Thanks for the info.

This is spot metering on, protune off, and a bit of color editing in iMovie:

2015 NASA East Coast Championships (TTD) - Virginia International Raceway
See video description for car mods

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBAxIFB4Gww"]Fastest Lap @ East Coast Championships - 2:12.605 - YouTube[/ame]

Ended up coming in 3rd place, a little over a second behind 1st place, 1/2s behind 2nd. Pretty happy with my time though, given how I was running Maxxis tires and not Hoosiers like the rest of my competition. Also, I'm pretty sure I was the only person at the event with a full interior, although that is on my list of things to change for next year

Also had a big slide earlier in the same session in T3 that was quite fun:
