Track attack!
I've cobbled together another short video on my channel. This one outlines the steps to take for your first track event. Hope you enjoy it!

Niceeee!!! That is a fast circuit, must have been a blast (less the wet weather from one scene toward the end). Thanks for sharing James, subscribed + bell ON!

Thanks for the comments and the subscription! Have you been to the Mont Tremblant circuit?

Awesome vid, Art! It answered some questions I had.
Tiptronics. Are there any drivers out there running Tips... button shifting instead of a manual?
Thanks!

Ours (hers) is a Tip. She ran it last year, and I may go this year. She did not use the paddle shifters, but I plan to, unless the instructor suggests otherwise.

I started with a tip. You drive what you have but it's no PDK! Changing to a 6 speed upped the ante, even before I did the mods.
Piper: Garage door opener; Yeah, tech line must have missed that! Not a great idea.

Yes. Superbike only though, never did on 4 wheels. Way too fast this place man... its already nasty on two wheels I can't imagine trying to manage inertia with 2 tons of weight, I'd crap my pants I'm sure lol
It gets a bit mental coming in #2, and finally seeing #8 (hairpin) is a relief... reminds you can live another 1.5 minute until the nightmare continuously repeats itself

Haha. 2 to 3 is up over the top where your car skips sideways with nothing to be seen over the ridge: Exhilarating!

Yea, nice place if you fancy stuff like high-speed levitation (not elevation, I meant levitation, literally) and cold tire corner entries lol read "Pro Only" man. It goes so fast in some sections I swear it looks like the trees are growing right in the middle of your race line... good reference points though, if you like nature
Seriously though, I miss that place, a lot. I'm so bloody jealous of James I had to go all negative on him

Very nice, Newart! Subscribed!
I may go this year. My wife did DE last year, while I sat observing.
I noticed you had a garage door opener on the visor. I don't know if my local PCA would allow that.
