Welcome to PIR. Now you know why I'm jealous of your track.

I did a $50 drift event in my track Miata and learned a ton about car control and recovering from scenarios like that. It used to be where if I started sliding, it was like a 25% chance I was able to save it. Now I can usually just ride it out about 90% of the time. Has saved me from having more than a couple time trials sessions DQ'd. |
If you watch it slowly, I caught it, thought I had it, corrected back, then realized I didn't have it, and lost it completely.
I had just started using 3rd gear there and was able to combat the understeer with throttle, but that time i used too much. |
As much as track drivers may not like drifters I can see and appreciate the ability to pull our of a big slide. Being in sub zero roads for 5 months it's a skill everyone up here should learn.
Automotive cross-training. (but not Cross-Fit) |

Automotive cross-training. (but not Cross-Fit) The instructors wet down a section of the school parking lot and made you get up to speed before they locked up the brakes and spun you out. You had to be able to recover before you could pass the course. I have no idea if that is standard or not, but it was a really good idea. That skill has saved my ass many times. |
Here's some idiot in a Miata trying too hard to outrun a 991 GT3:
Oh wait, that's me. We were both grinning like fools at the end of the session. |
haha excellent. Nice driving... til the end there, anyway.
|

That car is RHD, no arm rest, and I believe in Canada, so aren't those stock Recaro Type R Seats?

Not sure if this was posted already. My favorite is at 4:00 when two guys dump their bikes and one goes running down the track to flag people to slow down. Helmets are also optional, as you can see at 5:45...then holy shit for the next minute after that!!!
What a fucking free-for-all! I can't believe they don't need helmets! And they all get out! omg lol |

I dunno what car that is, but as soon as I watched the video I knew what was going to happen. They look like flimsy dick ebay seats.
