Took my RCF to the track
Hey guys, my first post to the forum. I have had my RC-F for over a year now and just completed my second track day over the weekend. I took some go pro footage I wanted to share with you guys. This was at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana. I saw a few other IS-F's in my group and talked to 1 guy who mentioned he was a member on here so I thought id post up. My best lap was a 1:59.
Anyhoo, here is my first session. Keep in mind its my first time ever driving on this track.
here is a clip from my second session
and here is a reverse facing video from my third session.
here is a clip of an m3 who spun in front of me

Thank you
Weather wasn't too bad, couple rain drops here and there. My car has lowering springs , wheels spacers , apexi exhaust, and an apexi air filter.

Nice videos & pics of your car, i've just never had the desire to take any of my cars to the track. I'd probably do it IF they gave me one of their hi-performance cars to drive, but i don't think i'd drive one of MY cars all out like you should if you're going to the track Some of these cars you see going around the track are going so slow, i just don't see the Thrill of doing that. if you're going to that track you need to drive like jeff gordon or whoever, not like your Grandmother (i just don't think i could do it in one of MY cars) But to each his own

Man, I would recommend this over anything else you could do on your bucket list if you are a car guy. Take that 996 out to a DE at a fun track just once . . . although you may get hooked. Its easy to do and there is always great camaraderie at these events put on by various car clubs such as PCA, BMW CCA, PBOC, Audi, Chin and etc.

I have the resonated one because I didn't want too much attention driving on the street. If I could do it all over again, I think this car can not get loud enough.

Yes to each his own. I did not get this car to only hit on ramps hard and meet up at cars and coffee. Although I do both of those things the real fun for me is having a spirited drive thru the canyons with my son, and more fun than that trying to safely push the car within my limits at the track. I will admit I am always hard on my toys but if I wasnt I would not get the F and would be satisfied with driving a 350.
were you the one I was chatting with in the garage? send me the video, I would love to see it.

The pursuit of F
Welcome to the forum. Great videos. That WRX was ahead for a while, but seemed like he was slowing you down. I'm wondering whether the M3 got distracted with you creeping up on him!
Is there a reason for taping the headlights/DRLs?

The wrx was a good friend of mine that I went to the track with. The first 2 laps I stayed behind him till I decided to up my pace. I actually pointed that m3 by me thinking he was gonna show me some great lines, but he went wide the next turn then lost it under braking on the chicane after that, and that's the clip I put up. I taped up the headlights to reduce the chance of cracking or braking them from rocks. I actually cracked my windshield at chuckwalla valley raceway .
