Amazing driving... My ultimate dream wouldn't be to own a fleet of fantastic cars, it would be to drive one great car THAT WELL!!! Well done...

What alignment settings are you running Andre? How far from factory spec are you set with your suspension settings?

Respect

Wow! That was mighty awesome stuff!!! I can't believe how sideways you were getting the car in the narrow funnel heading out from the paddock.

To quote Wayne from the movie Wayne's World... "I'm not worthy!"

Guys, Andre is a race car driver! I don't think any of us can compare. I have seen his drift videos too, and believe me he knows exactly what he is doing!

3:08 mark... struggling for front end grip under weight transfer and then drifting through with similar corner speed as the Subie with the blinker on until you rocket through LOL!

Terrific talent display... I REALLY enjoy watching these cars being put through purposeful paces.

Thanks for sharing!

I had some understeer. So have my front stabi on full soft. Rear stabi is in the middle position.
Alignment is still factory have not changed it all. I want to dail in more front camber to get even less understeer.

The weather is cold and wet so i changed to re050a N1 for now. They are also very good allround wets. The CSL was behind me with a camera. I went off throttle sometimes so he could catch up again.

The CSL was on Pilot sport 2. They have more grip in wet then the re050a fur sure. re050a are lot cheaper and i smoke them away in notime anyway.

Cups are nice on dry but in the cold and wet they are like driving with snowtires in winter.

Drifting always will cost you time. But a very little drift could bring you some time because the nose tucked in earlier and you can floor it sooner. But it s hard for the tires. The big angle drifts are just fun but i try to keep the speed as high as possible.

Well, slow as it may be, full points for throwing it into that much angle as you drove out through the gate onto a wet track with the guard rail right on the edge of the track surface.

Yup, and I know he used to race in the 130i Cup as well. Who knows what else he races in. Andre, tell us!
