View Full Version : Rx-8 at laguna Seca Roaddemon 02-22-2005, 10:49 AM An RX-8 at laguna Seca Raceway. Hope it's something ya hav'nt seen yet. http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/displayPage.action?pageParameter=bod§ionParameter=rx8_activity&bhcp=1 GotZoom 02-22-2005, 10:56 AM Link doesn't work. Nemesis8 02-22-2005, 10:59 AM Maybe he meant to link the interactive Flash City. There is an embedded video of the RX8 at Laguna Seca. Find the raceway and clip on the guy on the bridge. I think this is a REPOST by the way... http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/displayPage.action?pageParameter=bod&passed=true§ionParameter=hq Roaddemon 02-22-2005, 10:59 AM Try it now. SilverEIGHT 02-22-2005, 11:15 AM Holly Molly! That is awesome! GotZoom 02-22-2005, 11:26 AM That is tough! I love the little left-right drift over the hill with the slight "S" turn! brothervoodoo 02-22-2005, 11:30 AM It's been posted but would be hard to find without knowing what to look for. I'm sure tons of folks didn't get to see it the first time. Frank Patrick 02-22-2005, 11:31 AM Great footage of what, the 8 can do!! willhave8 02-22-2005, 11:56 AM May be an old link but I haven't seen it. Thanks! I have to wonder how long the tires would last drifting around almost every corner the way he does on the road course. A lot of fun for a few laps but I don't think you would drive that way in a race - at least not for long. cas2themoe 02-22-2005, 05:14 PM Sweet Videos........... Never seen those two rx8wannahave 02-22-2005, 06:07 PM Thanks for posting...that was sweeeeetttttt... GRT8 02-22-2005, 08:59 PM Man...I wanna go drive!!!! RevTo9K 02-22-2005, 09:09 PM Very very cool. I hadn't seen this either. I want HIS job. GRT8 02-23-2005, 04:44 AM Very very cool. I hadn't seen this either. I want HIS job. Yeah, where do I sign up? I was going to be good and drive my truck today to keep miles off my 8, but after I saw those videos of him sliding around LS Raceway I'm driving it 'til the wheels fall off. PUR NRG 02-23-2005, 09:33 AM Does anyone know how to save those clips onto their PC? I'd love to keep copies to show people. ________ Depakote death (http://www.classactionsettlements.org/lawsuit/depakote/) GRT8 02-23-2005, 09:35 AM I just saved the link. SilverEIGHT 02-23-2005, 05:42 PM Does anyone know how to save those clips onto their PC? I'd love to keep copies to show people.The problem with saving the movies is that they are embedded into a flash file and you can't save it. What you can do to get around it is to find an application that will capture a portion of your screen and record it as a movie. You would just start and stop the recording. Try one of these and let us know what you find out. For PC, Easy Screen Recorder 1.2: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/win/35630 For Mac, Screentool 2.0.3: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19181 Just tried the Mac version an it didn't work worth a crap. TR1GGERx1 02-24-2005, 12:40 AM those were tight vids. i love how he drifts so easily through the track. Zaku-8 02-24-2005, 12:57 AM Is the way that guy drove an optimal way to drive on the track? I was under the impression that drifting results in lower laptimes because it relies introduces excessive slipping. I'm confused because even though I thought that way about drifting, I see pro karters doing that too. Am I confusing drifting with trail-braking in the video? truemagellen 02-24-2005, 01:52 AM sweet yeah lets hijack the video to download it :D TNRED8 02-24-2005, 04:51 AM It is not the fastest way to get around, Mazda must be wanting to attract the drifting boobs. lightningyellow8 02-24-2005, 08:36 AM Those vids were sick!!! the first link worked for me.. is that a bad thing? lol. thnx alot for those i never would have looked there. |
