Track Video RX-8 / S2000
Two vids, high definition taken at night on an Italian track (Misano Santa Monica). Each video (more or less) is from the perspective of either 8 or s2000 but of the same race.
Here's the first one from the 8's perspective: 24.6 MB
VIDEO #1
The second of the s2000: 39.2 MB
VIDEO #2

Momentum Keeps Me Going
The S2000 wasn't doing very well, seemed to miss several apexes and/or it wasn't set up well. Looks like the 8 ate his lunch pretty plainly in the corners and in the straights. I thought is should be the other way around? Or maybe they were just playing 
Nice vids though!

Did anybody else notice the flames shooting from the 8? 3:22 into the second video you can see it during a downshift, again at 3:46 during an upshift. (just a couple examples, it happens frequently)

The heel-toe downshifts the guy in the S2000 was doing were largely ceremonial or something. He blips the throttle, the car goes back down near idle, then the clutch drags the engine up to speed. There was no rev-matching. The RX-8 driver was just *way* more experienced.

Nice videos!
Yeah, you can tell they were either just playing around or the S2000 driver was definetely not as good as the RX8 driver. The S2000 should pull away more and it did on the longer straights and the S2000 driver shifted WAY too early and was in the wrong gear half the time.
Really cool videos though.

Finally he passes and hits 141mph!
then he starts driving like a race car driver and keeping the Revs up.
What? What's this? 164mph!!!
Man that Sc200 really flies.
It has the power not only to catch up quickly but pass at anytime the driver wants too!
Nice car.
