Anyone have particularly good video of the outerloop at Miller Motorsports? A Spec Miata video would be preferable, but good quality video and driving is most important to me. I'm preparing for NASA Nationals out there in Sept, and am trying to watch decent video. So far I've not found particularly great stuff. Pity that neither iRacing or Simraceway have the track.

big shop at the track with lots of drivers/cars, they will have tons of track data available.

Glen McCready has a few from his PTE Miata: http://www.youtube.com/user/gkmccready/videos

Miller is a pretty simple track and I expect that if you do the test-n-tune day you'll be pretty much up to speed by the end - within 1-2s, maybe.

Not many simulators have Miller. iRacing does, I believe. I know one person who did quite a bit of simulator time beforehand, but from his description it sounds like it saved him about one session of familiarization - not really worth the fuss and effort, IMO.

R factor has the Miller outer loop.

The Ford Racing school is having a pretty reasonable school there the day before the test n tune. $400 for six sessions with trackside instructors watching your progress, and classroom sessions. I've already signed up. I'll look for some 944 videos from the '09'-'10 Nationals later, and post a link. I didn't go either of those years, but will this year.

I'm planning to do the test and tunes on both days, but trying to get as much of a head start as possible. I'm a slow learner. I can't find Miller listed on iRacing, but I have found the rfactor version. I found that having driven Mid-Ohio last year on the simulator definitely helped me when I got there. I didn't make me fast, but it kept me from having to use GPS to find my way around the track. ...most of the time.

Mike, as promised, I have some track notes for you, just need to find them on this computer... I must have named them something unrelated, but I know they are here.

I agree wrt to the Outer configuration. Full track is a bit harder to master (23 turns)... RaceCo are really good guys. I would start with them.

NOTE: AutoSea's video is running the FULL configuration.

I've got a couple of TT and race vids from NASA nationals on my siggy link below. For sims I used rFactor to get acclimated the first time. Have fun!

Here is a multi-car compilation of the full 40 minute 2009 944 National Championship race.

Here you go, 2nd place Spec Miata at 2010 NASA Nationals (after leader DQ'd).
Good luck.

Thanks guys!

dp35, Eric, are either of you guys going this year?

Dave, I don't think you'll find the track notes in the **** folder. ;-)

Sterling Doc

I'll be there. Neal (KLR on RL) will be there, as well.

Looking forward to it!

Sterling Doc

Wow!

Crazy, and incredible!

Pat long in gt3 cup vids not the best but his driving is...


Also he did a corner by corner narrative in the nasa magazine back in 09 for the perimeter.
I'm so jealous, I'd love to get the cup on that track. The 44spec race was fun but you could knit a sweater on that straight....
