    That has something to do with LED's refresh rate and the cam's recording fps not being 1x or 2x etc of each other. I think!

    Tell me about it. I was worried that I screwed my weekend. I had track insurance so car is getting fixed.

    Ooh, gotcha! I went back and saw a couple other cars doing it so that must be it! That's a relief.
    Interested in vintage cars? Ever thought about racing one?

    A lap from this weekend. Still working on my line for TWS. I was mentoring at a Instructor training school and had to drive a bad line all weekend. It was hard to jump into my car and drive a good one. Anyway, not bad best lap after not driving the track for 10 years was a 1:57.5

    Same track, same car, but bit less boost inboard:

    Not a track, but still killer fun. I'm driving the white E30 325ix coupe (the one hitting the cones at the end)

Most corners you keep the wheel turned after the apex. You shouldn't immediately have the wheel straight after an apex, but it should be unwinding. If your giving that much input after a turn, it usually means the turn was started too early.
    Awesome, thanks. I'm gonna work on that Saturday at Laguna. More videos to come!

    Hey Kevin, just noticed your feedback. Thank you!

Best way to get a feel for this is rides with advanced drivers. Get the car set a little earlier (loaded) and roll on the throttle right from turn in. I also noticed that you sometimes still had a bit of steering input at the exit berms on a few corners (sometimes not). Open, open the wheel. Not only will it make the car a bit faster at exit but will avoid nasty surprises. Those R compounds have more grip than you think.

    Forgot to mention, seems to me your are a bit far from the wheel as your rolling your shoulder over just to make pretty moderate steering inputs. BMWCCA guideline (IIRC and I must because I still do it). Is wrist should rest on top of wheel with arm straight. Keeps everything relaxed.

    Two short videos of the Guten Parts 190E Cosworth in action

    Took the Cossie out of storage after a particularly long and nasty winter. Here's some brief (<4 min) footage from NJMP-Thunderbolt last week, including some amateur landscaping:




    Here's short (<3 min) clip highlighting a minor "Initial D moment" at Calabogie last year:

    A recent video from Lime Rock with Connecticut Valley Chapter. Track still doesn't have much grip. Beautiful weather, lots of sun, so the video is a little washed-out.

    rolls coal


    What do you guys think could be improved?

    I wasn't happy with how I handled the slaloms. I was late by the last couple cones and though that my inputs were too jerky.

    In car video from last weekends BMW Trillium Race school. The last session of the weekend was a mock race, and wow was it fun!!!

    Slow start(except for the close call with the 944) but action picks up.

    Here's the cleanest lap from Sunday, session 2, at the GVC Watlinks Glen event. Instructor run group. I will try to get the complete session uploaded tonight. Lots of fun traffic, dicing, late-passes, etc.

    The weather was near perfect on Sunday. An excellent event.

    ^ you brought a corvette to a BMW event.. cheater!

    Looks like there was a lot of traffic in the instructor group. How was the seat time, was it enough? My friends and I stopped going to this event as of this year because we felt it wasn't worth it anymore. The club loaded up the instructors with students (usually 2), reduced the amount of track time instructors got and crowded the instructor run groups. In years past instructors were able to run in sessions where they didn't have a student as long as they drove according to that run groups rules. once that changed the event kinda went sour...
