Rx8 @ SPA track

Here you go, a fellow rotaryhead asked me to upload this video on youtube. It was his second time driving a car on a track (a serious one, i may add...) so don't expect big things.
Sorry for the crappy audio, i hope you enjoy the rest.
Since he was still practicing you can see the traction control kicking in on some occasions.

Thank you Al!
I must have done something wrong with the url but i'm too lazy to edit

I will probably go with him there this summer. Probably spending some days hanging out on tracks like the nurburgring, spa and hockenheim.. that would be awesome!

I too love the "classic" road courses of Europe. If you ever run Monza, I would appreciate a video of that too. Things go by too fast on the F1 in-car cameras.

Let me know when you guys head to the Nurburgring it would be good to see some other RX8's there.

Well Monza is not the exact circuit for a car like the rx-8 so i never made any vids
Mugello and Vallelunga are way more fun, even if i have a personal thing for the "seconda cimini" at vallelunga.
@StuttgartRX8: bet on it! I don't know if i'll make that trip with my car but i'll let you know as soon as i have some infos!

Talking

I guys,
I did it! :D
I would like to thank you bse50 for posting my video.
Presently I've modified the crappy camera so next time (July, 21th) the audio should be better.

Thank you, but, in fact, that exige cup was taking the pits :D
In fact I was able to follow the gray car (a Renault Mégane R26R) so I'm a little happy.
The first lap I have been overtaken because I drived with the DSC and TSC on, at the raidillon (the 'S' downhill and uphill after the start line) I missed the line, the car skidded and I eased the throttle off

Presently I'm in Luxembourg, we can meet at the Nurburgring whenever you want .

Brettus, we have so many good tracks here that you can't even imagine. The problem is that they're all split across europe and track days here are expensive as hell!
@StuttgartRX8 and vcoil: we might want to organize something as soon as i finish my exams, like the end of july!
