Mosport Video

[TTA89]

Mick let me borrow his video camera for a couple laps on Tuesday, just messed around with windows movie maker I was able to shrink it down to about 20meg. You can see the Porsche Cup Car coming out of the pit area real quick, what a pretty car that was.

Feel free to throw out driving comments. It def takes some practice to carry the same line around the track everytime as evidence from the video. I already see a lot of things to correct for next time, I have a tendency not to track out of 3 and I turn in too early into 4 and I can carry more speed through 8. I don't think I had 5B down either.... Oh well, guess that means I'll have to go back to try it again.

I saw cameras in a lot of cars, where are the videos and pictures from the weekend?

I wish someone was taking pics, I always get lazy and take one or two.

Nice video, and your lines dont look too bad at all. I have to say that thing flies! What lap times were your running?

[TTA89]

Well I purposely didn't buy a lap timer cause I didn't want to push myself to go faster but I didn't realize that it helps to see if you actually get faster as you try new things.

I just found a used hotlap online for 85 bucks so I'll have it in there from now on. I was trying to figure out what to put down on my timecard for the timetrial and finally just guessed and put down a 1:40 hoping I wouldn't go too far either way and I think I ended up running a 1:40. Lucky guess! (where are the results?)

I was trying to push it during the time trails, basically do exactly what Carl said not to do and I was killing my momentum and think it slowed me down. I'd come up on a corner too fast then slam on the brakes, then get back in the gas thus going slower than if I would have just driven around like I did the rest of the day... When I try doing that when Auto Crossing it destroys my times even though it feels faster. I think I was faster when I was just out messing around following faster cars through the corners but with no lap timer I'm probably full of crap.

The car is way faster than I care to push it but I'm learning and having a blast. I just need more seat time.
