Red face 2nd track day

1 second improvement, but still a lot of room for improvement, race line, brake later, wot, etc. But i really enjoyed. This is addictive!!! can't wait for the 3rd one.



best lap video:

a cool video from a friend who owns a drone filming shop:

Nice videos, especially that drone footage. What’s the name of this track and where is it?

In the video it appears as if you are tightly gripping the steering wheel. Relax your grip. Let the wheel tell you what the car is doing. If you grip too hard, you'll miss the subtleties the car is trying to tell you.

Thanks for the feedback Lance, ill make sure not to grip so tight the steering wheel moving forward.

Im preparation for my next one ill focus on improvements for the car to handle and stop better, so already ordered project mu 800 pads, i will order Toys´s R888 in square setup with 265/30 19 and put those on the enkei´s GTC01´s i had in my 350, they weight 21 and 22 lbs front and rear, but must importantly because of the offset they give a wider grip. I need to do research on strut bars and sway bars (recommendations are welcome) to improve handling. we will see how it goes, hopefully i can cut a few more seconds. the best time that day was 1.35, it was one friend with an F80 M3 Stage2 dinan, coil over and slicks.

p.s. for those that wants to know a little more about panama here is a nice video i found, its 3 years old, but works
