Here's the hi-res version (MUCH better looking, and 80 MB): http://www.maxerboy.net/vids/brainer...eansExigeS.wmv

Now if I don't get some feedback, I'm cutting y'all off from the vids!
Good lines. But you have to work harder than that in the N/A car by using a lower gear on some of those corners.

Thanks. I generally drive a bit more conservative with a passenger, since I'm responsible for their life.

I'd also like to note that I lifted (you can hear it if you listen) in the beginning of the video so Sean could pass me safely before the next turn.

I figure people must be getting tired of the same old lapping videos, so here's something a little different. I hope you like it.

Cool vid, I like seeing your footwork to see what causes the spins. Its amazing how lifting even a little can cause you to spin in these cars.. IE behind the WRX, or if you get on the throttle too late when entering

edit: looks like you may have lifted because you were hitting the rev limiter or close? I see a light blinking on the speedo

Most of my spins are due to being in the wrong place in the corner at the wrong time, I think. Any lifting I do is probably a drop in the bucket at that point.

The blinking light in that one spin is the Brake light. It blinks in hard left-hand turns if the master cylinder isn't slightly overfilled.

Drove Gratten Raceway Park, Belding, MI, last weekend for the first time. What an awesome track. A total roller coaster. The video is broken up into sections:

1) just a quick view from the pits to get an idea of what it looks like
2) a lap around the track from inside my Elise
3) a lap around the track from inside my Elise showing how much I have to work the hands and feet
4) a view from the pits of me chasing another Elise and Exige around

Made another video. This one isn't any good for line analysis or driving technique. I forgot I had left the camera zoomed in when I turned it on for this session. At first after looking at the footage, I thought it was crap and planned on just overwriting it. Then after examining it a few more times, I realized how well it conveys the track's characteristics. So I thought I'd put up 1 lap from this view and see what you guys thought.

19 MB "HiRes" version -> http://www.maxerboy.net/images/cars/...m_improved.wmv

And the compulsory youtube:

a very interesting watch gonzo. It's funny while watching it I felt a little anxiety during conversations that seemed they might lead the final product away from what the car is today.

If you go to mininova [here] you can download by torrent. I use transmission to download torrents, but that is on OSX. I don't download torrents on my Win PC so I don't know what the popular torrent clients are.

Anyways if that doesn't work, I can go and upload it to my server...1.2Gb would take a while to upload though (~10kb/sec).
