3. why didnt you take the lambo in turn 2 or 3?

great video again. thanks for letting us watch!!!!!

hey Enconsiderate,

1) no, not an AT? why would you think that?...cant you hear me 'heel/toeing' in the turns? (heheheh)

2) the miata did hold us up when we got up to him, but as you can see from the footage before we get to the miata, I had no troble 'closing the gap' on the lambo (hehehe)...the miata guy is a very good driver, he was just in a slower car and it was open lapping so there were many different cars out there.

3) with this club you cant pass in the turns only in the 2 main straights.

Damian, just a small criticism: It looks like you tend to be "yanky" with the steering wheel at times - i.e. waiting longer until turn-in, but turning-in more abruptly as opposed to wide and linear. While the former is more "fun," the latter is less dangerous.

yes clayne, good observation, that along with overbrakinbg, are my 2 biggest hang ups that i am working on, I need to smooth out out turn in and brake less :-)

you are correct sir :-)

hahah, yeah it was definetly a treat for that very reason.

Wow Damian. Fantastic video, I'm now about to go watch the rest of your vids. :)


What kind of camera set up do you have and how do you have it set up? It's very steady camera work.

There is a solution for this. STOP using shitty RealPlayer!
:bigthumb: Almost anything else is better than using RP.

I use a combination of mounts, as you will see in my other vids sometimes i mount the cam outside the car... I'll post a thread on what I use and where I get it.

sry damian,

i didn't see you shifting. i guess w/ the camera angle i didnt notice you arm move everytime to shift. i thought it would be weird to have an AT. i did notice the heel toe, and thats what threw me off.


GREAT VIDEO AGAIN

Another great vid, and nice job agianst the Gallardo, its nice to see a Lambo actually racing. Josh

The Lambo V-10 is rated at 500 hp. How's your car against it? It seems like he's not able to lose you at all but it could be the driver holding back.

$165,000 for the car. I'm not crazy about its looks though.

yep, the lambo is 500hp

my car is running about 340 hp (I'm estimating)

there are 2 reasons I could stay with him in the straight:

1) my car is much lighter than the AWD lambo, probably making the power to weight ratio similar

2) exit speed in turn 10 (turn right before main straight), i would get better exit speed before getting on it in the straight

The only spots I *think* he was holding back was turn one and two. Those 2 turns are where I would go from far away to right on his tail. The reason I say 'think' is beacause i dunno if he was takin it easy on those 2 (obvisouly cuz of the car) or if that was where the limit of the cars grip was.

Who knows.... and really . who cares, it was just fun :-)

You put a really good driver in that car (or any other car for that matter) and im sure I would have been had my 'pass me' hand out the window many times ;-)

by the way, if you really look around, the list price is 165K, but they actually sell for like 200K because of the rarity and brand name i guess?
