in Cars, Ncars
Thanks to Arnaud for introducing me and John for having both of us for a day of play at the track. Arnaud started easy in his 650S since it was his first day with it, but I egged him on enough that he got close to my speeds after a few sessions ;)
I was up early, so I did a nice night flight takeoff and got to watch sunrise from the sky:
I managed to scrape a 1:58 lap time (with the bypass) in the morning, but unfortunately, my times went downhill from there as my tires got worn, and apparently due to a lack of negative camber issue, once the sides of my tires were gone, so was the traction, and I lost up to 5 seconds on my laps at the end of the day.
For fun, I also filmed 2 laps from the rear of my car, showing the wing. Once narrow, and once wide:
On the flight back, I didn't stand much of a chance against Arnaud and his Cirrus flying back too, but I got to enjoy the views as usual:
this Z06 with the same tires than me was hella fast
Arnaud's track machine, nice leather
