video of my RX-8 at VIR Grand East
This is from last weekend at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) in Alton, VA
The track was in the 'Grand East' configuration. 4.2 miles in length, it is the longest road course on the east coast.

Turn down the volume if you don't like Initial D, turn it up if you do
EDIT: added link to a better quality video of my last full session at VIR from that weekend, 27 minutes of quality driving time!!!

Well done H !!! I will try to get a video up this week.
Watching you tail the white EVO is a good example of the lack of Bhp versus a higher horsepower car equally well driven. It just pulls away at any acceleration point...
But, his smile wasn't any bigger than yours (or mine) at the end

Excellent video, and I must say, that is one looooong lap. Well done, good driving. You basically solidified that I want to run this track next year. No time for it this year, but I really need to get up there one of these days, it looks like a lot of fun.
What kind of camera mount were you using to get that view? NASA will not allow suction mounts, was that what you were using? It is a good angle, I have done that for mountain runs, but not allowed for track time.

too bad NASA won't allow it, but MazdaDrivers had no problems with it

yeah, i got one of those too, when I did autocross it was ok, but NASA requires a solid mount, that won't come loose. Camera has to be tied down too, no loose objects, or objects that could become flying objects.
Is there a scheudle somewhere for MazdaDrivers events?

I think I drove MUCH better in the last session, the lines are a lot smoother in this one
oh, and passing n00bs are fun
