Video from Shannonville lapping day

Not the greatest video but I had more important things to think about since this was my first time racing on a road course. The video takes you through a lap or 2 but I pieced the laps together from multiple laps and camera angles. Closer to the end is just some clips that I liked showing some other cars and fun parts of the track.

Hehe, that's much better than my crappy vids! It's weird seeing the track go by in reverse.

No, Its a manual. Most of the track is done in 3rd gear with only 1 or 2 spots requiring a downshift into 2nd. On the long straight I go from 2nd to 4th.

Ya I let the cooper S by me since I was holding him up in the corners. This being my first time on a road course and having very crappy tires and the Cooper S having some susspension mods with R compound tires I stood no chance in the corners against him.

Cool vid, thanks for posting it. You've got a nice car. Weird seeing the shot of my car at the start.

I got passed by the cooper as well, no shame in that. The guy was fast in the corners, I had to slow down to let him by on the back straight.

Fun video. I was getting a bit quesy watching the track in reverse, LOL.

I think that you may have a problem as every time I heard you shift or lift off the throttle I could here a big air leak. It sounded like a big hssss....

Have you checked your spare tire lately????











Sorry, couldn't resist. I think for a track newbie having to learn the lines and deal with throttle lag must make it very interesting. Very interesting video.
