Exotic Car Track Day Aug 28, 2011

[Sleeper_08]

Here is some video from the August 28 Exotic Car Day at Toronto Motorsports Part at Cayuga, Ontario. This is a fairly short "technical" track with a lots of turns.

It is a pretty safe track to run and really only one place you can bend the car which is the wall coming out onto the front straight. Unfortunately a Viper lost it there a couple of weeks before and wrote the car off.

This is my first event with my new CenterForce clutch and it worked a lot better than my old stock one. It was the second event for my new 275/35/18 Nitto NT01s.

It was a very warm humid day but I was fine with my new Cool Shirt. Thanks Norm for the suggestion!

The car however did move the idiot temp gauge above centre a couple of times but a few slow laps brought it back down very quickly.

And finally here is the video;

My fastest lap of the day was my last lap - chasing two very fast Porsches!

Looks like a bunch of fun! Those Porsche's really get it done! Was one of them a GT3 RS? What was the other?

congrats on your car, it looked like it ate up the lambo, viper, and was that a bmw?
idk about racing or anything but it seemed like you had the right driving line as you were coming onto other cars( although if your faster they might be moving out of the way?)
but regardless looked like a lot of fun

Yes I believe that one was a GT3 RS, at least that is what the "decoration" said on the sides. It was really fast and he could drive it. Pit manners however are something he could spend some time on per the shot of him parked in the middle of the pit area.

I am not sure what the other one was - there are now way too many different variations of Porches for me to be able to keep track of them all.

Yeah.. he was hauling the mail for sure in the RS.. I think the other was a turbo judging by the giant fireball he was shooting out whilst downshifting.. Otherwise that car was pig rich for N/A.
