How Not to Do Turn One at Watkins Glen

Post by DanDarcy » Thu Jun 07, 2007 11:07 am

I know I'm late with this :oops: but I just started to play with the new video camera I used at WGI in April.

Here's a clip on how not to do turn one with its new pavement :shock:

I did get better as more rubber was put into the track :lol:

Here's a lap

This is the first time I ever posted a video. Is there a better way to post them so it comes out better ? :( The quality on Google seems poor, the original video was great.

Well, have to admit that the 3d try you had on video looks very similar to one of my trips around T1, as Stephan, who was behind me, can attest to.
Makes one feel rather.........um, under achieving! 8) Widest rumble strip I have hit so far! :shock:

I tried YouTube, It is a smaller picture and as poor of quality :( . I saw a video where you had to download it and the quality was much higher but i\I don't know how to do that yet. Any suggestions ? and I don't mean about my driving :!:

Who said it was me driving ? :oops:

Apex --- don't they make tape players or something :roll:

Its funny Scott, last year with the Audi club at WGI (twice), I never had any trouble with turn 1, This year on the new pavement, the front end would push bad and the tires squealed like crazy. It took awhile but once some rubber was on the track, the front end started to get some traction.
