Default Me at Toronto Motorsports Park

Went out on Friday night with some friends, I'm an amateur out to have some fun. Best fun I've had in a long time! Here is a couple of laps. Filmed with a cheap $60 ebay camera.

great video. Nice driving , and the car sounds great. The track reminds me a lot of Wild Horse Pass, but the surface there is in much better shape. Thanks for sharing. Nice to see some more F owners driving their cars on the track. Most never will ...

Lol, I didn't think I was going to make the turn, the factory brakes I think are a little too soft.

It was in M. Again, I'm an amature so if it appears I was driving in D that's the reason why

So I returned to the track last night and felt I improved. Went out a few times with nannies on then removed all drivers aids. I didn't know how bad it was to drive with nannies on until I read info posted but Lobux. I got a real good feel for the car and lost control my first time out with aids off and tires at 45 PSI lol. Lowered tires to 35 PSI and went back out to hunt down our enemies...LMAO

Great driving !! You and the car did very well. Man you had that Audi on the run . Obvious after looking at the video that we have better brakes and more pull on the straights. The M3 let up but great pass. Thanks for sharing the videos. We are some of the few who have taken the cars to the track and we need to represent and maybe inspire some of the others to see what their cars can actually do. ( Come on guys I came from an LS460 and I have been on the track twice in 2 months after owning the car for only 4 months)

Your car sounds great too!! Great for someone to post a clear video of the interior noise with a good mic on their camera.

RIGHT ON COMPTHIS !!


F!!!

Keep in mind, you only proved you are a better driver in your car than the other two guys were in their cars. I guarantee you, a talented driver in the M3 would not have been a pass at all.

Thanks for the kind words guys, wait till I post the video of me chasing down a GTR. I know Lobux, I don't have a chance in hell in the real world but this guy was on the run. I just need to edit out some of my "not so nice" commentary: He wouldn't let me pass and I had to eventually just pass him anyways. You normally can't pass unless you are granted by the driver in front, otherwise you have to stay behind.

Imagine how painful it was having to wait for him at every turn. At first it was pretty cool that I was behind a GTR, then it got pretty annoying.

Nice job but remember to continue to drive your line you were at times following him and his horrible lines as your frustration grew .

You should have passed like the winged car did much earlier
