Nice job dispatching that GT4! Road Atlanta looks like a fun circuit..
Yeah, no kidding.. "Less is more" was very applicable in this case..
LOL.. He was pretty cool overall though.. I think the problem was his statement beforehand was something about only wanting to get me the best lap time he could... The result was kind of like he was trying to drive the car vicariously through me, instead of letting me do my thing & pointing out ways to improve.
I was excited to be back on the track, I was definitely not driving as smooth as I should have been I need to work on that this summer, but ya, TMP is open on the weekends if weather permits it, I am going to go back as soon as I replace my brakes
I used to live in Tokyo for 13 years before moving back to Vancouver earlier this year, where I picked up an IS-F as my daily driver.
While in Japan, I tracked my Prelude for 12 years at various circuits including Suzuka, Fuji, Motegi, Tsukuba.... just to name the more famous ones.
I hope to eventually take my IS-F out to the local tracks here but in the meantime, I will continue to drive my track prepped Prelude which I brought back with me.
Anyway, sorry for going on.
I thought I'd share some pics of IS-Fs I came across during my time in Japan.
Enjoy
The Fuji Speedway Safety Car and Official Car shortly after their release.
The updated Fuji Speedway Safety Car and Official Car.
This was back in 2012.
Interestingly, the Safety Car was LHD.
Running with some IS-Fs on their home course (FSW).
Chasing the IS-Fs into the Prius Corner at Fuji Speedway.
I ran my personal best lap on Summit Point Main last Saturday (1:30:70). This was on street tires (Bridgestone RE11). Thanks to Chase (Piston1047) for the recommendation. I love them, and think they perform better than the PSS on a dry track.
I've started running that track with all the electronic nannies turned off & I'm getting more comfortable exploring the limits. With my current set-up, the car is very predictable & any over steer from too much throttle is easy to correct. I'm having a blast out there!
Also, I finally attempted to manually overlay Harry's Lap Timer onto the video.. It turned out pretty good. It's a tad out of sync, but close.
Had a chance to go to Pocono Raceway as part of SCCA Track Nights with some BMW buddies. Also went to the 6hr of Watkins Glen - RCF. Awesome time! Pocono Raceway June 20, 2017 RCF Watkins Glen 2017 RCF rear Watkins Glen 2017RCF - Turn 9 RCF - Bus Stop RCF - Turn 2 RCF - Turn 11
Finally got my chance to make it down to COTA for a track day. Had a blast!
Nice!! I love that circuit & hope to drive it someday. I was able to go there for the 2014 Formula 1 race & we walked the entire perimeter of the track on qualifying day. That place is massive!
