Another DE video in my new elise
This time at Nelson's Ledges near Warren Ohio. I haven't been to Nelson's for six years or so, and while they have greatly improved the track, the road surface still leaves much to be desired. Much smoother in turns 1-3, but very bumpy in oak-tree (which they have now cut down). The bump after the kink is still there, and after taking the kink at 120Mph, it really moves the car around (see 1:25 for an example).
I edited the video to show my little battle with this monster prepared camero. Full race setup, 400+ HP engine, huge hoosiers - sounded like a damn nascar car it was so load. Very fast in a straight line, but the guy couldn't drive it around the corners - it should have been faster. The Camero guy wasn't too pleased with me afterwards that my little 1.8L toyoto could take his car. I think this video highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the Elise - not enough power in the straights, but oh what sweet cornering ability. I could gain huge ground on other higher HP cars in turn 1 and in the kink. Overall, very fun.
