Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. Frustrating day it looks like being held up by traffic, but the rovals always like that. Big HP cars get you on the straights, slow you down in the bendy stuff.

i think the is the story of the Twins lives. getting held up in the turns all the time. then the higher horse power cars motor by and you blow past them in the turns again. happens to me all the time

They're actually not bad drivers. This was in the Advanced group, and I was simply taking advantage of the FR-S's strengths, specifically, it's ultra light weight. This is most evident by me being able to brake deeper and harder, even with just 225 street tires.
The lower power also makes it much easier for me to stay WOT through the banked turn. |

nice driving man. i was surprised at how late i could brake compared to bigger cars when i went to the track, it was a definite advantage even for a novice like me. how ever i was no match for their "put right pedal to floor" skills
