When you type it out like that it can be daunting but when you're on track, you process all that stuff best if you just keep a long focal point.

I don't worry about blowing up or breaking down, it's a German performance car and it's made to take it.

Spinning out, if I don't go off once in a while, I'm not pushing hard enough. Certain tracks are safer than others and you can push harder. TWS is a safe one unless something mechanical goes on the straightaway, those concrete walls are unforgiving!

See you there sometime.

Here's some pix I just got of the event. My race suspension sure is doing it's job... very little body roll, even under very hard cornering. The Bimmer pix are of my wife driving.

Nice Vids and pics

Is the amount of tape on the lights entirely necessary? Lots of rocks thrown up?
