In that last video the temperature guage appears to be climbing on the RX-8, and in both RX-8 vids, there is alot of tire squealing, but they are great regardless.
Azionamento e videos piacevoli Andrea
(I hope that translates into Nice videos and driving Andrea)

wow I can't believe how well the 8 performed against the s2000...it seems like the 8 embarrassed him in the corners and straights, and the end of the second one the 8 just blows past the honda....awesome vid, thanx...I hope this circulates around other car forums, i hate it when other car owners bash the 8 and bring up that one stupid video where the 8 loses to a type S and i think a s2000...

Did anyone else notice the light that flashes next to the DSC warning at 1:45 ? It looks green or blue, and is to the left of the "skidding car" icon that shows the DSC is fully disabled. Mystery light....

30p, or 30-frame progressive, a non-interlaced format, produces video at the rate of 30 frames per second, delivering spectacular clarity for high speed subjects. Shooting in 30P mode offers video with no interlace artifacts.
What camera were you using for this?

HI
the camera is one Sony digital but not remamber the model. I have fixed the Sony
camera in the supports "isofix" behind posterior seats. I have
constructed a support for the camera in wood... and it works very well!
I the next monday will go to a new Track Days in an other Italian
track and I will make of the photos to my support for the camera.
When I came back home control the model of my Sony camera.
Bye!

Here are three shots taken w/the mount. There is a wide-angle lens on the DVCam, as the std lens would never be able to backout to see the interior (nice for tach at night, and shifting). I'll post vids after the event.

Ah didnt think this thread would get this long.. and also attract a pro rx8 track driver "Andrea" =P.
Well my bro will be getting it for daily driving but wouldnt mind testing it on a track.
After reading from this thread from my last post, I find that the rx8 is still a close competitor to the S2000. Now some S2000 lovers will says hands down it is beter then the RX8, then now after seeing this last video s2k lovers say " well thats cuz the driver is beter in the rx8"? could that quote be also used for videos that were said that S2000 have beaten then RX8? maybe the RX8 drivers where bad like this S2000 driver? Seems to me its a tie. RX8 catches its time from corners, S2000 cathes its times more from striaghts?
Well what do you think Andrea? with your RX8 vs an S2000 what would you say is beter on the track? also on the first video posted were both cars stcok no modifications?
It seems for price and all around RX8 all go..!
I like the S2000 aswell.. but I was just curious as they are both high reving and hp is close.
