Nice job!

I run Avon Tech-R slicks on OEM 17's......nobody even looks twice at the sedan until it is passing them !!!

Passing Porsches......priceless!

 

Nice Smoooth driving!

It looks like someone was paying attention when they discussed the proper line, braking, turn in & apexing........lol

Those stock tires were protesting......

Just curious.....VDC off or on?

 

Haha..Thanks Guys!

I had my VCD off.. The VCD kicks in a little too easy in track, or i might say its too sensitive when u r pushing ur car's limit.

Haha..yup..passing porsches is definitely a BONUS!

 

I had a driving instructor tell me that if I had to turn it off....I wasn't driving smooth enough......

 

Haha..i do hear that comment too.. but only for level one..
After level one my instructor told me to turn it off so that i can learn the true nature of the car..and thats when u learn the most!
U should try turning it off, drive slower at first then gradually increase your speed..give urself CONFIDENCE!! Trust our G! It will impress you by its performance!

 

i hate the abtrusive ABS! this was especially noticable on turn 9 at NHIS

 

Then you need better rubber. I stand on the brakes from 125-25 and ABS never engages with R-compound tires.

 

sillyhenry, where do you go for autox?

 

Cool video. You were definitely driving the preferred line. I will be out there on April 27th for my second track day. I just upgraded the brakes on my IS and I can't wait to see how they will perform. I will be joining NASA very soon with the goal of running Time Trials by the end of the year. HPDEs are now my new addiction. I think that this will be my last auto-x season. You will probably see me by the end of the year. Keep an eye out for a grey IS300. I will eventually track the G once I have my wifes permission. I should just take it when she is on a business trip!

I noticed that you did not have access to turn 5 in the video. Did that change on later runs? I noticed your brake fade leading into turn 14. I had to brake late after passing a Porsche before going into turn 14 and actually had the rear tires lift enough to skip. That was very exciting. I had to let off the brakes so that the car would settle before I could continue braking. I was able to gracefully miss the apex and gather the car rather quickly. It was a lot of fun. I was the fastest driver in my run group throughout the day. My day looked like your video. I can't wait to go again. You should let me know when you are going to run your next NASA event. I am looking at May or June for my first NASA event. Maybe we can meet up?

 

That sounds great! U seem like a pretty promising driver! I am gonna go again soon (April 1st and 2nd), so i just cant wait! Try ur best to join NASA asap since i am not goin to be around may and june...Anywaz..lookin foward to see u on track!

I just signed up. I am officially a NASA member. I will not be able to make next weekend's event. I do plan on going in May and/or June. We can try to meet up later this summer since you will be out of town. That will give me a chance to get some more track time. Next month's event will only be my second track day. Make sure to create another thread after your next event.

I wish we had track days to go race our G
