Default VIR track video

I don't have the GT3 anymore, but I was just thinking about how it was a blast to drive on the track. For those of you that have one, take it to the track and drive the crap out of it. Unfortunately the new owner isn't a track guy. What a waste of a car. Here is the last video of it on track at VIR which happened to be one of my fastest laps (2.08.3).

Thanks for posting. I'll be there next week, and this will be a good prep.

Rob..

What software are you using for the Data? Is it all one unit or do you have to sync Data & Video.

Also I noticed you've run Mid Ohio. What are your thoughts on that track in comparison to Road Atlanta & VIR... I'll be hitting Mid Ohio for the first time this May.

Dashware. It's amazing. I synch it manually because I wanted better quality than the chasecam.

I've been to the following tracks (not in order or likeness):
VIR - Full Course, North Course, South Course, Grand
Summit Point - Main, Shenandoah
Mid-ohio
Sebring
Watkins Glen
NJ - Lightning, Thunder
Mont tremblant
Calabogie
Road Atlanta

and Mid-ohio is at the top of the list along side VIR.

Thanks also. I'm counting the days until I get to the GT3 to VIR in late May with FSR. I love the track, but it will be very different than my previous C4S!

Rob, did you want any sort of critique on the lap? There are several places to gain time. Just need to get the car back

We can chat via email if you prefer.
