Talking Videos from my first track day

I've been a long time lurker on these boards so figured I'd finally post something up

Had a chance to experience my first track day last week at Race City Speedway here in Calgary, Alberta.

The first video is some in car footage of me trying to keep up to a GTR. His lines were a bit sloppy, but the car is seriously quick. He was getting better exit speeds than I was getting out onto the straight but I kept managing to reel him in under braking.

Overall the E handled beautifully. I had it set to Sport + with the suspension on the firmest setting. Very little roll in the corners and for such a large car it was really tossable.

The brakes were absolutely incredible, as well - repeatedly dragging me down from 220 km/h at the end of the straight with no fade whatsoever.

The second video is just a short flyby - love the way this thing sounds!

Hope you enjoy!
