Thanks, Marc! See you out there!

The cars limits are very high. But the driver mod is still the best mod.

BIG BRAIN!

Memes incoming...

Good catch! I agree. I have already increased the front by 1/4 turn instinctively after the event by "feeling" the front rebound was too soft. It's unfortunate I didn't notice and adjust during the event. Something I need to be more perceptive on in the future. I think the bouncing is mostly tied to the front but If I feel any at the rear I can make the same adjustment. Thanks.

Thanks you! Hope to see you at one of the upcoming events!

Just trying to match the level of fun in the video to the real experience of racing an old beat up Miata.

Thanks!

Thanks, Marc!

Thanks!

Thanks, need to work on hands now!

I'm kind of happy with the run. I think I still left time out there. I was happy with my foot work but feel I might need to start paying more attention to hand work. There are times I do some shifting around with my hands and it sometimes leads to me turning the wheel too much. Something to work on.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I'm still working on looking far enough ahead (like you) and I felt like I was slightly behind the course for the first 3/4 of the run. I also left too much distance to the cones in some areas as I was expecting more grip but tire heat build up was not to be found here. I actually flattened out the rake of the car by lowering the rear some. This is a major change to balance as I'm looking for better high speed stability. This in turn changes what level of camber is necessary at the rear so I noted and pay attention to wear and temps and found I have too much neg camber in the back. All the data I needed was acquired. Changes can now be made before the first points event with SCCA.

The RX8 is inherently composed and communicative. It helped some I'm sure.

Thanks

It realistically is a larger hardtop NC Miata. It has similar balance of that car but with the added perks of having a large enough interior to be comfortable. It has a slightly more Midship feel to it and the longer wheel base makes it very forgiving at the limit. It has one of the best and most compliant suspensions I've ever felt. (And this was before my brother's upgraded Ohlins suspension). I've driven and rode in many different cars on the street, autox and track. Some as cheap as $1k and some as expensive as $250k. I don't believe there is another chassis out there that applies it tires to the ground better than the RX8. I do believe this is because of suspension design and geometry, weight balance and position, total suspension travel and tuning. The chassis is ridged. Bumps do not bother it. It responds to every single driver input. It's mass is low and centered and loves to rotate in a predictable and controllable way. It also has amazing brakes and puts it's power down very well. In its stock form its wheel wells are large and can fit tall and wide tires without modifications. The only downside to it's performance on track would be, while it handles its curb weight well, I do think it's a tad overweight for my liking. Also the power is good but you have to maintain a favorable RPM which sometimes is a challenge. Both of the issues are solvable but bring compromises. Weight reduction will mean cost investment and/or comfort reduction. A Series 2 rear differential is shorter and would help wheel power and RPM favorability but driving longer distances down the highway would be compromised with higher RPM's. My brother daily drives this RX8 and transports it to the track under its own power.

Thanks

I used to drive CDL Class B trucks in downtown Wash D.C. I had to learn to be very quick when transition to the brakes due to traffic and unaware drivers. I started then just using my left foot to brake to reduce my reactions and cross over time from gas to brake. Doing lighter more causal left foot braking with an automatic vehicle on the street I found helped build up confidence.

Left foot unless I need to grab the clutch!

LFB is an OP skill once you're good at it.

Worth while investment IMO!

Dirt hook @1:40 , Gutter hook 1@2:12 , Gutter Hook 2 @2:37 , Dirt Hook 2 @3:14 , Gutter Hook 3 @3:50 , Gutter Hook 4 @3:58 , Gutter Hook 5 @4:04 , Gutter Hook 6 @5:02 , Gutter Hook 7 @5:17 . ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?

These are great. But I am looking for the full 10 second Initial D cinematic gutter hook.@@CurtisHuffman-cj5qm

Thanks!

Hello and welcome. Thank you for the compliment. The truth is RUclips Algorithm likely does me no favors however, If I was more entertaining I would likely have more subs so I will keep working at it. Karting is a great place to come from and the transition to Autocross is not as different as more people might think it is. Don't hesitate to go to any local autocross clubs near you and watch and get rid alongs in the meantime. I have a long and busy 2024 Autocross season coming up and will aim to make a video out of every event. If you feel up to it share my channel and videos to any friends/people you know with similar interests. Sharing goes along way. Have a good one.

Probably some truth to that.

nevermind, the video got there. lol!

Because it's the happiest!

Solid choices.

Is this about cars lmao

True. All 4 gens are soft stock. I have another video showing that off. Coming soon.

Yes. www.myinstants.com/en/instant/roblox-oof/

Managed to get a 1:04.158 in a FK8 Civic
