I am guessing a bit of rear lockup, since he needed to countersteer.

My dad sent me this video tonight, when I saw the subject line, I thought it video in the OP, but this one is much longer and from Montreal.

More discussion with the crew and inside the truck. Haven't watch all 30 mins, but thought it was worth posting here, but then I realized it was an enzo.

Meh, streck it, I will post it anyway.

Cool video's. Interesting how it was compared to our ST boxster. I will try to edit some in car from ours up in the next day or two.

The esses are a lot of fun. Screaming in wide open is awesome. The slower section is tricky, especially on worn tires. You are hustling the car through while trying not to get too wide and get behind on the apexes. I saw guys doing a couple different things in the T7-T8 section. It's a fun track, not my favorite but a decent layout for sure.

Surprised just how much those apparently painted on gaitors upset the car. Haven't seen that on other videos. He was correcting all over the place.

Just hadn't noticed them being so substantial on some other videos of the track. We're used to those size and bigger. Not ideal for obvious reasons.
Still looked like he might not have been in the optimal tyre window..heat, pressure or wear?

ps...will find it very interesting to see how the Aussie V8s attack those ripples. Unfortunately they won't be racing on the full circuit. Hope they don't take the Esses away.
To me that track still looks slippery too.

Yeah unfortunately I won't be there, as I have a pre-existing coaching engagement that weekend.

You guys weren't supposed to see the vid til Monday!.. Good catch..

It is rear lockup into T12..

This was the morning warmup and i was on used tires and bedding in new rotors and pads for the race.. This lap was at the very end of the bed-in process and was still biased to the rear as the rear pads were about to level out..

As for the esses.. In the race (esp at the end of the race) i used alot more curbs entering.. In practice i was a little reserved to take care of the car.

Sorry Leh, I got a YouTube notification when you posted the video and thought, "Oohh, we're going to love this!"
