[QUOTE="SeikenFreak, post: 15346398, member: 122263"] Another event down. This time with clear weather and new Toyo R888s! The tires made all the difference. Was much more comfortable and confidence inspiring. Ended up turning the traction control off after the first session because it kept kicking in at weird times and acting up. Once it was turned off, everything was smooth. [B][U]Session 2[/U][/B] - Interesting thing here was this STI that was in front for a bit. It was the first car I'd been behind that was on a similar pace so I could actually get an idea of where I was slower or faster etc. He seemed to be driving in some kind of weird way.. Line was off or braking/accelerating weirdly etc. Seemed to be over driving the car. And at the 7:40 mark I think he almost went into the back of a GTO. Not sure what was going on with this car. [video=youtube;C8UaRFKrmoo]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8UaRFKrmoo[/video] [B][U]Session 3[/U][/B] - This run opened with my friend in front (Silver BRZ) so I could get some video of him.
