HPDE @ Pocono Long Course (VIDS)

Just came back from a three-day event at Pocono Raceway. After about six hours of track time I have to say this car is great. The Videos are from the long course (single infield) setup PDA ran on Sunday. As you can see in the photo this track is not well suited to the RX-8 but I was not embarrassed, even on the long Super Speedway sections. The fastest I got was 126 going into turn two. The crack in the windshield happened on Friday on the track and other than cord starting to show on my track tires my 8 held up fantastic to 6 hours of track time (3 ½ in one day).

The videos are of the whole sessions and are about 40 MB in size. I did them in Apple QuickTime, you will need version 7 +

Video One / Right Click Save As

Video Two / Right Click Save As

EDIT: One more video from the Sat sessions. On this day PDA runs in the opposite direction and uses two infield sections.

Downloading now, looking forward to watching them. You are right, this car is great on the track. It is a blast to drive, and really impresses a lot of people, that don't expect it to do as well as it does. That part is always fun. Every instructor I have had, had never been in one, and they were all impressed with the car after the weekend was over, never with me, as I am still slow. But I have fun at it.

Thanks for sharing, they will be added to my collection of RX-8 track vids.
