Glad to see the G' outran the others, especially the sti and the porsche, but you need to get away from the techniques learned from ps2 and take some real track lessons. Too much braking, late turns, wrong tires used (but who's gonna buy tires just for tracks) and some other small adjustments. Nonetheless, good run. I haven't taken the G' on the tracks yet but I taken out the IS 350, 330ci and the slk55. IS by far kicked everyone's *** and I'll almost guarantee it'll outrun the G'.

IS will not outrun a G on a track.

Hell, a Mini will outrun a G on the track......given a better driver.

I was passing Vipers, 'Vettes, and other high-cylinder-count cars on the road course due to their inexperience, not their lack of horspower.

I went with NASA and i personally think they charge a very reasonable price!
i costed my $280 for 2 days...Each day they will have 4 20minutes sessions..

I do see mini cooperS that are heavily modified go tracking..but a stock mini will not hold a chances in passing vettes and vipers...tracking is different from mountian racing..in the track HP/TQ is very important on the otherhand mountian racing (downhill) u want a car that is small, ridged, short wheelbased, and with decent brakes...

Tracks have way more straights...

Hey Jason, there is other event on April 16th with NCRC, I am thinking about sign up to that, but was wondering how did the brakes held up? I know that you did bleed them but did you need to change the pads out afterwards?

By the way, they offer 33% off for the first timer and few 350Zer are going too.

Nice vid, Jason. That's a very stable picture, too -- what kind of camera mount were you using?

Great video and nice piece of driving. Thanks for sharing. Your lines appeared to be very good, braking and control was also very good from what I could see. The video showed just how much difference the driver can make at the track.
I would agree with another poster who spoke about the passing and black flags. It didn't appear all drivers signalled a pass or all were on the straights.

Enjoy the driving.
