Been building a Miata TT car for NASA. Image size reduced, original size: 2020 x 1510. Click here to view the image in its original dimension. Image size reduced, original size: 2048 x 1536.

You should really get a bar mount for the camera to hang it into the interior so you can see your inputs and have a better view of the track, doing so for me has been absolutely invaluable in progressing as a driver. That car looks like a ton of fun though, I keep trying to get a buddy to let me turn a few laps in his boosted NA with aero on NT01s. |

The one I'm using in those videos isn't even mine - it's borrowed. Been thinking about those 360 cams. Very cool. This was my first time driving on slicks. Scary. Even braking is scary. |

It's a fun car. It's a kind of fun that other cars can't convey, like a happy dog so to speak. It's not necessarily fast (even with the f20 I have), or comfortable (everything rattles, it's an aged car), or competitive (currently, it classes with C5 Corvettes due to mods, but I'm not good enough a driver to handle that class), but it is most certainly fun. |

I'm waiting for Optima classing revisions to be announced, but I'm not expecting any revolutionary changes. If things don't make me more competitive I'm throwing another 100+hp at the car to close the gap as much as I can. Slicks are a whole different animal than street tires. Tons more grip right up until there isn't. While street tires will give you 5-7 degrees of slip angle before they start letting go, slicks are 2-3. No more gray area, no forgiveness. |
