Track Video Catchall - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly...
Figured it would be helpful to have a dedicated track footage & discussion thread - one database that we can all go to easily find track specific videos for any purpose. If you want your video critiqued post it up - the video and subsequent discussion helps us all! If you want to post up a PR - post that up too so that we can all celebrate that with you! And anything and everything in between - that way we can come to this thread, do a quick search, and then easily have access to track specific videos. And for you track rats that have been able to develop good lines on certain tracks - please post those up too! Whenever we go to a new track can be very helpful to have an idea of a good line before going in.
When posting a video please format the first line in this manner so it helps with the search thread function: TRACK - USERNAME - VEHICLE Please then add the purpose of the post and a brief mod summary (or maybe link to a build thread). If you post a video be open to criticism - and if you post criticism don't be a d!ck about it. We are all here for the fun of it - lets keep it that way.

MSR CRESSON 1.7 - OG SHARK - M2C
M2C Build Thread/Specs Couple of laps at MSR Cresson this past weekend. Haven't driven this track much & been a couple of years since the last time so my lines are still a bit rough. Please fire away with any criticism/comments!

How to force things on tires that are done in a stock car with brake pads. This was my first track day in the m2c and the only one before winter ruins everything. Left feeling kinda glad it was over and surprised how much of a handful this thing was lol.

Thanks, yea aside from the tires being done, I also found out that my alignment slipped and the car was running .07 inches in on the passenger rear and .02 out on the drivers rear. Explains so much lol

I had a major problem with this in my old 944 turbo race car. Camber would knock out to -5 or so on the front. Turns out the bolts needed torquing to like 150ft/lbs. Most alignment shops will get them "good n tight" without checking actual torque specs.

Finishing my old RE71R tires, which were pretty much bold at this point. This car definitely wants to come around in slower speed (45-50 mph) corners under trail braking.This video is from the NCC chapter's first HPDE of the season on the Jefferson circuit last weekend.

Hey guys, here's a video from NJMP Thurnderbolt. I know its been posted here already, but I'm very happy with the way I drove and the way the car drove. This isn't the PB of the day, but rather a lap close in time to my PB, but with far better driving from me.
As you can see, there was standing water all over the track, so I couldn't get as wide as I'd like to on some corners. Track was greasy and I kept traction control on the entire time because of it (watch that little yellow light go nuts all the way around the course). I'm sure with better weather, this can easily be a 1:30 lap time! Enjoy! Please critique if you'd like! |

My reactions: - you appear to be using all of the track - you have good, quick corrections (correcting oversteer) - your hands sometimes seem to be moving more than necessary - you seem to creep in towards corners that are at the end of long straights (i.e., not using all of the track in those spots) - not sure if your trying to rotate the car (with or without trail braking) or if that's just anticipating the upcoming corner too soon - the track seems like an autocross track compared to what I am used to (perhaps I am spoiled) - Are you analyzing your data (I see a Solo but assume it's not a DL...)? Those are my initial reactions after watching your video twice. Would appreciate your response to my reactions and then your reactions to my video(s) that will be upcoming. Ken |

What tires are you running? Quite noisy. Or do all tires squeal like that on those asphalt sections?

Slicks are the more quiet on the asphalt, all other tires, particularly 240+ thread wear street type rubber sounds like roasting a live pig.

Not M2, but I have a "hooning" around a track type video in my Camaro. Good times.
