Nice video. I see that you have a sun roof. How tall are you and how much head room do you have?

Looked ok. Your line seems pretty good. Some obvious oops moments like going through the "bus stop" turn on your second lap. Looked like you were having fun.

Hahha, thanks! Yeah, I had been there once before, so I had a good idea for what the line should be. LMAO, youre right, I was just having some fun out there and seeing what the limits of the car were. I had lots cleaner laps that day, but I didnt get those recorded.

Next time Im out there, my goals are probably to carry a drift through out the whole sweeper (instead of just initiating it with trail braking and losing it immediately after because of too much, too early countersteer) and I would like to see how long of a slide I can hold in Riverside, but I dont know if Ill have the ***** to try it.

Hmmmm... a drift all the way through Riverside might be fun... but definately not the fast way around the track. But we all have different goals! Just don't go off at high speed on Riverside - seen some good rolls there.

I friend of mine rolled his 3-series after he exited Riverside and started to apex Lost Hill. There is a lot of soft dirt around that section of track. Luckily, he only hurt the car.
