This is a beautiful track...and if the vision continues it will be a world class motorsports facility

They will need to build a town nearby though They are in the middle of nowhere

Yep - we had (6) gas cans of various size. About 30 gallons of fuel I bet.

Necro time!

This video came up at work:
[embed]<object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/--iP9Aczag0&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/--iP9Aczag0&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object>[/embed]

Does a pretty good job of showing off the crazy blind turns and camber of the track! Oh, and new FIA curbs!

But check out the aftermath on his tires... these had 500 miles on them before this track day!

Sounds like that guy was coasting around the corners.

Is that an alien space ship up in the sky?


The compound of the tires are too hard or the driver is jerking the wheel too much and skidding across the corners. Too fast of entry.

You're getting sound off the built-in camera mic that is mounted on the front bumper, I wouldn't use that as telemetry Although I'm not quite sure what you mean by coasting around the corners and if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

The tires are Direzza Sport Z1 StarSpecs, I had good luck with my previous set. Not sure yet what happened with this one, it could be that it was too new, it could be that I'm leaning on the shoulders too much with my stock suspension, I don't think I "jerk the wheel too much" but of course I could be wrong. What the hell do I know?

You track your car much?

That video makes it look longer between turns - but let me tell you first hand, they come quick and are mind altering. It's a dream to drive.

Wow, some of those groups are letting a ton of people out at once... That poor 911 is stuck behind the... other 911 the whole time!
