Buttonwillow Raceway CW#13

Here is a little session at BW testing the car with the aero mods and scrubbing in a new set of NT-01 tires for the first time. A bit of traffic, but always nice to pass some Lotus and M3 cars, a Spec Racer and a nice little Spec Miata while on a twisty 23 turn layout. Sorry for the splatter on the windshield. Turn up the sound for downshifts and tire squeal. Had one little off when passing a car close to the Sunset turn and got off line, but a quick off throttle, steer straight, ease it back on and then on throttle to settle worked just fine. It happens on tape fast, but in the car it seemed to be incredibly long and patient. Interesting how time slows down at speed.

You are a hell of a driver

Looks like a ton of fun

Thank you, gentlemen. Most appreciated.
The car is a fantastic performance platform. It behaves very predictably and capably. In stock form it is a fine machine, but it has the fundamental "bones" to be transformed into a true beast, which is quite exciting. We were running with 526rwhp on this session, and she hooked up great.
