Had some fun at the local track, was my first track experience with MY Rx-8 Was a great shakedown on the car, and she'll need the coil upgrade if I want to do this more often. But was great to get my speed on!

sweet! My goal is to start doing lapping days next year... what kind of speeds were you getting up to?

Back stretch was the longest, I'd hit upto 160km/h. The fun part was that there was this tight U bend right before the back straight, which sucked cause I would almost need to downshift into 1st for it; I'd be coming out of it in 2nd gear at 4000rpms, which of course, when driving a rotary, is way too low in the powerband. One thing I didn't know about when I had the Mx-3 was about late-apexing a corner; come into a corner, brake later and harder, turn in sharper and hit the 2/3 apex of the corner. Was able to gain an extra 1500rpms coming out of the corner, helped alot.

Looks like fun! How much is it to do that? Would love to do that in the mx3 some day.

Through Touge.ca it was $110 paid on location, $83 prepaid, that's for the full track. Short track was $40, $35 prepaid, but it got cancelled for bad weather, but man, I can't see myself doing anything but the longer track, it was awesome!

Nice vids! Looks like a great time was had
