Lol @1:15 - that RX8 driver's thinking "I'd rather see that in front of me..."

Hey man let me know the next time you get to Gingerman. I'll trail with my GTI and hardware store camera mount, get some 3rd person shots. :thumbup:

Here's a sample, can't recall what zoom level I was at. Also plan to do something about the wind noise :yikes: http://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showpost.php?p=824595&postcount=22

That has always been my thought (and experience on the track in 2WD cars), but then I watch WRC and those guys seem to be sideways in every corner no matter what surface they're on so I've wondered if the AWD cars are faster with some sliding.

In WRC they slide partly to stay in the power band of their highly boosted cars
But its also because on loose surfaces understeer is really difficult to recover from, so oversteer is generally a good and safe idea.

Power is one thing, but I have a feeling I need lots of driver mod.

Power is not want you want your first times out on the track, that is for sure. Learning car control and the proper line is easier at lower speeds. Then moving onto more power after your skills are improved is easy.

Oh, I know and agree competly, but its want I drive daily so it is what it is. I probably won't wanna run the e85 tune one the track my first at time out, that's for sure.

Haha that is awesome. I've never done anything like that in a car, only on snowmobiles. Looks like a blast.
