Track Day - Lima Peru

I went to a Track Day in La Chutana circuit. (Circuit near Lima) to test my car and my new Go Pro HD2 camera.
I had a little problem with the battery so i just recorded 2 videos!
So, the organization put in me in a group with slower cars so the traffic was a bit heavy...also a kid thought that if he could afford to buy a Nissan 350Z he was able to drive it like a god! So he went off course 2 times in one lap and leave us a lot of sand in the track

C32 AMG Sportcoupe passing a CIVIC Si and a Subaru WRX.
...and one Fast and The Furious kid (2:55)

C32 AMG Sportcoupe VS VW GTI (with a lot of mods) + BMW 330Ci + Subaru WRX
http://youtu.be/yPyS5TF3HmM

Well my best time was 1:10.462. (A brand new Porsche 911 Carrera 4S with Advan 048 tires was doing 1:07.500) so next time i will be there with better brakes, better tires and a brand new Bilstein PSS14 to shave a few seconds!

Love the vids and awesome work on the track. I agree whole heartedly that it is an incredibly rare car you have there. Six months ago the buzz on the posts notifying that they(32 coupes) even existed and then a member popping up and purchasing one: great stuff. I do cringe in moments of that video thinking- "don’t push too hard !!! please there are only a handful (5?) of those in the world ". But in all honesty I am so very glad that the blue coupe has found someone like you, that is driving it the way it deserves.

The main reason why i dont push harder, its because im awared of the few quantity of this cars around the world.

As you can i see i didnt attack the VW GTI after a while of analyzing how this guy drives, because i dont want he to be scare when im passing him!

I understand that its a rare C32 AMG Sportcoupe but when the guys in AMG created this car, they had only one thing in mind...SPORT DRIVING!..

I believe that this type of cars must be drive it like that once in a while...anyway if i ever own a MB 300SL Gullwing you will see me in track!!

Did you ever watch high powered cars in a show room?

You can always tell which ones were driven the way it deserves by the look in their headlights. The wild cat! She remembers running across the track, the thrill of racing... the reving engine, the huge amount of fury, locked in a room... But after a while, their eyes start to glaze over, and you can tell their soul has died.

By the way, it is nice to see someone that actually uses all of the track. Nice driving my friend.
