    Default First Track Day Experience (E63 content)

    Had my first track day at Race City this past Tuesday. Had such a blast. Managed to get some footage with a GoPro (audio is pretty bad unfortunately) so thought I'd share.

    *edit* Can't seem to figure out how to embed the videos so I've just pasted the links below.

    First vid is me trying to keep up to a GTR



    This second vid is just a fly-by on the straight.




    Enjoy!

    Fixed your embedding, the tag is [*youtube] without the *of course.

    Sounds deadly on the flyby, can still hear it rumbling way down the track

    Great driving! The GTR was all over the place, wrong lines, but still pulled on you in the corners. Gotta love that car on the track, makes it look so easy. You're much more confident in the braking zones than the GTR, you're reeling him huge braking at the end of the 2 straights.

    Great job!

    Thanks, Rage!

    The GTR was unreal. I knew they were fast, but the way it pulled away from me made it seem like I was in a Kia.

    I was really impressed with the way the E handled, though. I was expecting it to be a barge through the turns but with the suspension on its firmest setting it cornered remarkably flat. And for such a big car it was actually quite tossable.

    Hoping I can get out there once or twice more before the end of the season. I think I've become an addict. Need to get another fix.
