Couple pictars from the autocross. I didn't see any pics of David's car - However, that is David in the passenger seat of the first picture.. Making me look like a midget. The passenger seat is mounted 1" lower than the driver's seat too.

Had one before... they are cool.



I thought you ruined yours with a boat anchor in the front?

yeah unfortunately....

But I can offer further motivation for you to buy a 318is!!! ;)

Seriously, you should try to make it out.

This is an awesome angle to see where you are placing the car! I'll have to try it out next time I'm on track. Inside the cockpit is also good for seeing what you are doing, but sometimes it blocks what the car is doing.

I may not be correct on these observations, but I have a few. Anybody else feel free to chime in.
Turn 1 - you can track out more. This is a really fast corner, faster than it looks.
turn 2 - I'm not sure how to attack this yet, lots of guys go way left and deep, but the instructor at the BMW school said to stay middle on entry and come in closer to the apex as the turn progresses. He says a lot of people waste time going way wide for no gain in exit speed.
turn 3 - you can track out more here too. This is a ballsy corner to take at full speed, but if you don't, your left with lots of space left at the end of the turn. I'm guessing you loose 2-3mph at the end of the straight by lifting just a little more than you needed to at corner entry
turn 9? - (after the esses) missed the apex by a few feet. I aim to stick my front wheel on the inside of the curbing, and let the centrifugal force of the car pull you away just a little bit. Plus, in this corner your outside wheel is hard loaded, so if you put a inside tire off a little, it won't upset the balance of the car much.

Thanks, I was thinking along the same lines. Definitely more speed to be had.

Hopefully I'll have a data logger for Saturday. Reaaaaally hoping so, depends on shipping.
