Default Video of my first track day at Mosport in my IS-F

Here is one SLOW lap around Mosport. This was my 8th lap around the track, EVER.

How fast were you going when the other ISF flew by? That dude was taking no prisoners.

I slowed down to let the other ISF pass. It was a lapping day, not a racing day, so if someone catches up to me, I have to signal him to pass. If you look at the first few seconds, you can see me reach for the turn signal. At that time, I let off the gas and let him pass. At the top of that straight, he should be hitting around 230 km/h. I was probably at around 180 km/h at the time.

Ya, there is only one really slow corner at the hairpin....the rest is 3rd and 4th gear. I still have lots of spots to make up time. Still learning the track and car.

Great camera view! It would be nice though to be able to hear the car with a light mix of the music. Other wise...

Unfortunately, I had set the mic level to low, and it actually didn't pick up any sound. So instead of dead silence, I dropped in some music.

The camera was stock to the drivers window. Thinking about it after, it might not be a good spot, as it was a bit close to my head. will have to play with some other spots. But I also like the angle, and the view of my hands on the wheel. I was shifting with my pinky!
