Default Another vid from VIR (inside the car)

Thanks to Allan for letting me use his camera mount. Video taken with a Mini-DV sony...very cool!

I think it's about 3 or 4 laps. Made the screensize a little smaller to make it easier to download. I have higher-res if anybody cares to see it.

Default If that's your first weekend on the track I think it's safe to say you're a natural...and insane.:-)

stupid question though - are you running with ESP off or on ?

Default He was running with ESP on at first but then after I told him to turn it off about 10 times...

he turned it off and said it was 10 times better. And yes he is a natural, some people are just programmed for this type of thing. Look at schumacher. Plus it helps that wes is naturally insane :-P

Default he was running a slightly modified line...

He took a "race line" on some of the turns. Nothing wrong with that but its the way you get through there faster. I found myself taking a race line in the esses. I kept saying sorry to my instructor and he said, "Dont be sorry, if you can do it, and do it right you will make up 3 or 4 seconds".

Default Excellent stuff...

are you sure that's not a video of me driving.

It's great to watch from in the car.

I did a driving course at Mosport a month ago on the DDT (Driver Development Track) and hope to head up to Le Circuit Mont-Tremblant Driving School at the end of September. (This was mentioned to me by Jet Jockey)

It is fantastic being on the track, we'll need to get all the S4's together on a track someday soon.

As an aside and for all you track junkies, here is a link to a nice series of articles. I am sure many of you are aware of them, but here is a link anyway.
