0.32 late turn in on 3 and to far to right for turn 4

0.59 too far away from apex
1:05 same
1.15 sick display of power

2:44 too far from apex b/c late turn in
2:49 same ( had to pinch steering coming out of corner causes oversteer)
3:00 sick power

4:59 5:15 good sequence.

Just out of curiosity have you personally driven Road Atlanta in real life?

yes, flogged tons of laps in a 300tt and a SR 240sx. He asked me to pick out some points, so the points I could see the car I pointed a few things out. You think I am wrong? I have laps with the dip and without

I'm watching what you pointed out...

0:32: I'm not in the car so can't say, it could be pushing through there.
0:59: I agree here although he is in traffic and probably isn't worrying about that.
1:05: Definitely agree with you here. Although by his line in 6 and now 7 he may just be cruising to pass on the straight.
2:44: Once again I agree with you. It looked like it was pushing though.
2:49: Definately agree again, his line in 7 is very bad.

All in all I don't know how that car drives, never driven a GTR on the track so can't really say it all. I think we'd both have to be in the car to really criticize it, I know he's a good driver as I am there every time he's on track. The main thing from the video is he needs to work on turn 7.

Thanks, I have never driven one either but have instructed 2 drivers at Little Talledega. They only push when you give too much steering input or drive in too hard. The turn in on them is awesome, they work so much better going slower into the corner, and giving tons of power coming out.

NOt bad... How would I be able to run on that track?

First go to the stickies at the top of this page where it explains everything.

Sign up with a organization, Chin Motorsports, NASA, Porsche Club, BMW Club, MVP, SCCA, etc.

SCCA offers 40 minute PDX sessions for $100...can't beat that.

Get your car ready, don't think you know how to drive good and listen to your instructor, than you will be golden.

Scott was that you in the blue Subaru? Didn't watch all the video to see if it was. I was there all weekend working.

I work for the track. Corner working. Sucks to watch everyone else have fun but they pay nicely lol.

[ueyedgr8tness]

man thats some nice driving..

[Kevykev]

Nice run, I've noticed nothing crappy about that video at all - These are street cars.

[G.C]

Nice run.

[OnURleft]

Good run homie. Looks like you have room to go faster in a few sections if I wanted to analyze the drive but very good all around.
I'm also going to guess the car is close to full weight judging by your braking lines and the way you carry speed throughout the track. You're literally tracking out at all the same speeds as my E36 too

Car is beyond full weight

It has AC, upgraded speakers, full interior, etc.

I think it was 2870 wet, but that guy in the passenger seat weighs 230, so call the car 3100. I'm 190 in clothes and helmet, so 3290...

It was also just an HPDE and not my car, so I always try to leave a little margin...

I figured you were leaving a margin because your driving is very good

[DunDunSkeert]

That car is really fast for 0rpms, great vid man!

[DVSRX-7]

[87 Turbo II]

Looks like you had fun. I can't wait until the next time I run a PDX.

[Got Milk?]

[claybird]

[JDMGRNAV6]

haha^^^^

def quicker through the turns than that gtr... that would piss me off watchin him drive like that and see him pull on the straightaways...

pit manuever, hehe

[HiPSI]

for all of those critics of the line taken by the GTR...

a. how do you even see his line other than a couple of points where scott got close and he was usually behind someone or avoiding a spinning BMW?

2. how many of you have actually driven at Road Atlanta?
2e. how many of you have driven a GTR at Road Atlanta to actually know what line to take?
