Streets of Willow session vid

this was with speeddistrict (awesome coordinator) back in october 2015. no time, speed, or fancy overlays- i don't have that stuff yet. however, my fastest time was 1:28:935.
this was my first time at the track and i didn't get instruction, so i had to run it in gran turismo to try to figure out a line and learn as i got on the track. had a great time, but the streets isn't going to be my favorite track.
i like to include the whole session to give people a feel for how these events are ran, so its kind of lengthy. camera is a gopro hero4 black with a seat mount and a $35 external mic off amazon.

That first lap onto the straight sounded like a rocket blasting off! Full throttle all the way up the hill until braking zone next time.

Are you 8' tall? You make the interior look like a 135i lol.

i'm a pretty lean 6'03", 220lbs. i'd like the seat to be about 3/4" lower, but overall i'm pretty comfortable.

if i ever go back, i'll have to try full throttle up the hill... seems too fast though.

I looked into getting an Elise as a daily driver. Ended up going the super cheap route and got an electric smart car. Hehe
The smart car jokes get stale fast... I haven't sat in an Elise yet though.

Hey roastbeef do you have stock suspension? If so Streets is probably the worst place for a heavy, soft sprung M3. Lighter cars with stiff springs excel there. I could probably drive a stock Miata faster around there than my 650 HP M3.

I love the mic on the back bumper like that. To anyone who thinks our stock exhaust is boring, you need to listen to these types of videos -- it sounds really exotic.
