volume is kinda messed up and i was actually using bfgoodrich something i dont remember..

Here's my contribution.

HPDE#1 Infineon 6/11/2011 - Audio was recorded at a low volume to compensate for wind noise.

Session 1 - First two laps were paced. Skip to 8:30 for full speed stuff.

Session 2 -

Buttonwillow CW13, 2:14:086. I'm confident there's another 5+ seconds in the setup as my skills improve. Staggered, no wing.

Here's my final session of the day from the BlackTrax Test & Tune at Thunderhill from November 18th. :thumbup:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7H5rE2l9jU

Not my quickest session. My tire pressures were far too high for the day but I had a blast my first time to Thunderhill and my first time driving the S2000 on track. I was pretty conservative most of the day.

On the beginning of my third lap of the session my low fuel indicator came on so I slowed down at the end of it and coasted around back to the pits.

My quickest times of the day were around 2'12.x-2'13.x but with better use of the track and braking zones (and proper tire pressure) I think I should be well under 2'10 in a stock S2000.

The custom GT5 style HUD is something I have been playing around with so this was a good opportunity to use it. Measures lap time within 1/24th in this case with 24fps (.042 seconds). Camera is a GoPro Hero2 mounted to my helmet recording 1080-24fps ProTune, sharpening added back in GoPro cineform studio and simple color correction done in After Effects. Also a slight EQ applied to remove some wind noise.

Kind of boring to watch if your of a more professional driver than myself but I'm a first timer so sue me! :D I averaged one of my laps to be 2:29 judging by one my laps with the tires warmed up and all..

A misshift or two and I went off once..

Here is my video from recent trip to Laguna:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4kTkz9Z3Is&hd=1

My first time driving at Laguna Seca in my 2006 AP2 Honda S2000. All stock except 225F/255R Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 tires, and Project µ HC+800 brake pads front and rear. My quickest recorded lap for the day was a 1:49.970, but the lap was really mild with no excellent sectors, there is still a lot of time to be gained. My target is a low 1:47.* with my car in it's stock configuration. Lots of corners that can be taken flat or with a partial lift with a perfect line and turn in. Lots of places where I can carry a lot more momentum. I am using a Qstarz lap timer that I was renting from CityTech (http://citytechautobody.com/) the event organizers, and combining my fastest sectors in a single session I was seing 1:46-1:47 optimal laps, so should be fun to get back out there and hunt down the time!

After my quick lap, there are some highlights, a nice chase with a powerful Golf GTI, and me trying to keep up with a much faster and nicely tuned AP2 S2000, with J's Racing CRUX coilovers (16kg springs), and Advan A048 255 tires all around, and various other well chosen modifications and weight reduction.

My brakes were the biggest limiting factor but that was to be expected at Laguna, less to do with my choice in pads and more to do with how I was braking most of the day in a stock car. I will be using Project µ Club Racers on my next Laguna visit most likely. Next time I will better manage my tire and brake temperatures and only do a few hot laps at a time to get a better chance at an optimal lap.

Edwin needs to update his times!!

Figured it was time to contribute a new video that isn't so cringe inducing. Two years and eight track days make a huge difference, but I still have much to learn. You'll see what I mean when I hit turn 1 following the end of the lap. :drive:

For those of you who are interested, here are the components I used to capture my telemetry data and incorporate it into my video.

GoPoint BT1 Bluetooth OBDII Sensor - *Bus powered so it gets juice from the car
Dual Solutions XGPS150A - Standalone GPS device with its own battery. Upgradeable to 5Hz via firmware update (actual upgrade only gets you 4Hz.) If you want super accurate GPS data, get the XGPS160 instead.
Harry's Lap Timer Rookie Edition for iOS - I used this solution to collect my telemetry and export the data in .csv format. This software has a learning curve and requires configuration before it will accurately collect data. Give yourself plenty of time to get acquainted with the app or you will be disappointed with the results.
iPhone 4 - Very glad I kept this bad boy. Came in handy and was more than capable of simultaneously collecting the OBD and GPS data. The iPhone also provided HLT with G-force data using the iPhone's internal accelerometer.
RaceRender 2 - This app brings your video and telemetry data together and provides you with multiple overlay options. The ultimate version comes with an overlay design tool for you creative types. I found RaceRender to be much easier to use than Dashware, not to mention half the price. RaceRender v3 is supposed to be released soon.
.
And in case you were wondering, this setup will work with Android devices as well. Enjoy!

bringing back a old thread from the dead. Two clips from buttonwillow last month, it was cold as hell and my rs3s had no more fight left in them. They were on their 9th day and over a year and a half old. First video I did a 2:01 second was a 2:02, plenty of errors and what not but oh well. Once the weather clears up a bit Ill be back at it. Be sure to watch in HD

Resuscitated again!

Felt good about this 1:26.5 at Thunderhill West. Third time there for me. Rob-2 and I rented out the track for ourselves for the whole day and it was a total blast. Beat my PB by 3 seconds. The only streetable-S2000 I've seen on Youtube that went faster was the gonzo Trackspec Autosports S2000, and it was only .1-.2 seconds quicker despite way more aero, exhaust, bigger wheels, etc. I'm sure there are faster laps that just aren't online, but I'm allowing myself to feel a sense of personal accomplishment anyway. ;)

Can't wait to get back and continue to work on lines and consistent weight transfer at corner entry.

Wow, mind asking how much you rent the entire track for? Also, does the car in the video have the King Pin spherical bushings?

LOL. nice gif :roflmao:

That's not too bad!

Sonoma 1:52.562

Laguna Seca 1:42.5xx. FF to 1:23......................Just beat this time about 2 weeks ago with a 1:42.4 with borrowed front suspension (mines blew out). Will upload soon

Damn Gary, you're killing it man! What's your current setup? You seem a gear up from me on certain corners, I'm wondering if it's power, aero, grip, final drive, or all of the above...

My current PB at Sonoma is 1:57, but the car is still essentially stock


No video from my Laguna PB but I'm at 1:48.0 with plenty of seconds to be shaved still. You're running some great times, I'm impressed. :)

Just saw that you're not running aero, good freaking work man!

nice leon!
what tires are you running now?

According to his YT video description, RE71r's! The more I see stock S do great lap times, the more encouraging it is for me to achieve one day.

Look forward to your LS lap times.

Cheers,
Alex

Thanks guys! They are indeed RE71Rs in stock stagger, 215/245.

Maybe one day I'll be on Gary's level... :)

ah i just clicked on the video posted
sweet :thumbup:

1:58 at buttonwillow. Full interior and budget street tires

Thanks bro. List of mods:
I/H/TP/E
Squared 255
Ohlins DFV revalved 14/12 springs
4.44 final
If your running stock tire sizes, your doing DAMN GOOD yourself.
In terms of gearing. The 4.44 does not match Sonoma at all. I'm actually in the same gear as when I was running stock gearing through all corners except for the ass clinching turn 10.

Thunderhill makes deals a lot cheaper than the published rates for off-season 2-car rentals. You don't get flaggers or safety equipment, but you do get the bathrooms and clubhouse. Our final cost per person, per hour of actual driving (as much as we had energy for) was basically the same as any other track day.

Cool experience to drive West backwards, BTW. I'll post a video when I get around to it. We drove backwards using the long straight configuration that launches the car into the air right before the brake zone. :)

Yes to the bearings.

That is an amazing price!!

Right on, good call on the Ohlins. I'm looking forward to spec'ing myself a set whenever my shocks finally let go. Makes sense with the 4.44, I was thinking "damn, how is he in 4th gear through 3/3a and getting into 5th so often!"

Hope to see you out there sometime next year!

Knocked a couple tenths off Thunderhill West on Friday. It was a hot day and the tires have 4 days on them, so I'm guessing there's a 1:25 in there somewhere. Here's a 1:26.35.

Well done! I've still yet to run West, looks like a really fun, technical layout. I'll be running the East course with Speed SF on Friday in case anyone's joining.

Who do you usually run with?

Actually I still took 3/3a in 4th before the 4.44. You gonna be at Sonoma this weekend? I'll be there on Sunday.

PB for Laguna for me so far. 1'43.8 on Federal RS-RR, 255 square.

Mods are 60mm tp/exhaust, hks hipermax 4sp, hondata tune, gt wing and apr front splitter.

I experimented with 4th when I ran Sonoma in June but I'm not quite there yet. Being a wuss over 3a...

I'm not running Sonoma this weekend unfortunately. Been at various tracks the last three weekends in a row so some family time is in order! I do plan to run Thill first weekend in August. Hope to see you at the track at some point!

Well I've almost got racecar v2 ready so here are some vids from the old one (RIP):

1:51.58 @ Sonoma with 255/40-17 NT01s on 17x9 wheels.
I do that time twice in the video on the 1st and 3rd laps but make the time in different ways - interesting comparison.
3rd lap - jump to 3:42 in the vid

Are you running squared? It'll understeer @3 if your still running stock. 3a is definitely a ass clincher.

Damn dude, making it look easy! Amazing speed through 1 as well as the esses.

Nah, I'm pretty much all stock. I don't have issues in 3, just a tap of the brakes to get it swung around and then back on throttle. Just gotta keep working and making improvements each time. I should be capable of at least a 1:55 with the car as is, I would think.

I will say the stock AP2 gearing seems to require awkward shifts at Sonoma.

Nice driving, congrats on the PB.

I'm brand new here, picked up a 2008 with 37k on it a few months ago and took it straight to the track. I feel this is a good place for an intro post :)

First time out I managed was a 1:48.2 at Laguna, bone stock on RE050s. I chunked the hell out of the poor RE050s and will be going back on 9/2 with some Z3s. I'm guessing they'll put down a 1:46 or so.

Sorry about video quality! Spot exposure was on, but the damn mount kept slipping around.

That's an awesome time for being stock. :thumbup::thumbup: driving also

Usually SpeedSF, but I can only make it out a few times a year. The video was a private day put on by some NorCal S2000 Facebook guys.

Very solid lap!

New updated PB 1:51.817. Still with no big ass wing. Should be able to eek out another .3-.5 if it wasn't for that yellow flag at turn 7.

Thank you sir :thumbup: solid times yourself! After seeing your car, I think I actually met you at Laguna a year or so ago, I was driving an old E30 at that point, you had just hit 1:42s IIRC. I think you were chillin with Don in the paddock.

Me getting destroyed by supercars at Laguna Seca

Second place in street rwd class this weekend at global time attack.
Buttonwillow cw13
1:58

1:25.23 at Thunderhill West last week.

:thumbup: :thumbup:

I noticed you enter the Turn 2 horseshoe wider and take your time working down to the apex. Have you found that to be quicker than entering tight and holding the inside? Wondering if the banking is better up higher at the entry... Also noticed you use more of the final turn runoff than I've been using. I'll have to try that to see if I can hold onto a little more speed.

Yeah I find if I want to go in tight on turn 2 I would have to slow down a lot more. I'm able to go in at a higher speed and hold most of the speed through the turn. The last turn I use as much space as possible so I can hold all the speed I can. Not having a wing I find the lines are definitely going to be different and I have to use as much of the track as possible. I borrowed a friends wing and ran it for the first time a month or 2 ago and the grip is just phenomenal.
