Track Video at AutoClub Speedway

Here is a video from last Saturday at AutoClub Speedway. This was a test day running in the open passing group with a professional instructor to tune up before next weekend at the POC Laguna Seca timetrials. This run group was fairly small so I had a lot of open track to work on technique rather than worrying about traffic.

The key techniques that we worked on were getting back onto the throttle as soon as possible in a corner, keeping the car balanced, and driving smoothly.

It was a very hot day (105F) so the lap times were a bit slow. Also, my speedo reads at least 5mph faster than the GPS speed in the video. I am flat out on the throttle from the begining of the front straight and never let up through Turns 1 and 2 on the banking. The new Boxster Spec suspension is fabulous!
