Driver's Mecca II?

I have a sequel kind of. It may be more of a stand alone video but it 'was' my attempt of getting that same high, having the same wonderful experience I had the very first time at the 'Ring. From this though, I learned that every moment is unique and that I shouldn't try to forcefully recreate something. Instead, it is best to enjoy every moment for what it is.

wow! I loved every second of it, your mini documentary has so much soul and purity into it that I couldnt help but smile when I saw you guys giving each other high fives, toasting beers at dinner, and going absolutely bonkers on the straightaway, not to mention that white porsche that passed you guys. I can only hope that one day I can do some sort of trek that you and your friends have done, but with me residing in the states, my ability to take the s2k with me to the nurburgring is pretty slim. I had to rewind the part where the MR2 lost its tail end and went right in between the two parked cars numerous times, at first I thought it was going to rear end the s2k. What modifications have you done to your s2? what kind of suspension are you running? Congratulations on your trip and well made video.

 

Awesome experience and great work on the video! But where's the car noises?

 

Nice job great video! Very Jealous I want to go there some day.

 

Fantastic!

 

Thanks fellow S2KiERs! The car noises are there but faint in the background. If you want to hear them you'll have to turn it up. They are turned down because the majority of it is wind noise with the top down and all. I have a friend who is going to remaster the sound soon and that might change the sound for this video.

As far as mods, they are mild. Comptech SC, HKS exhaust, Buddy Club N+ Coilovers, better rotors and pads, 17x9 RPF1s with 255s Direzza Star Specs all around. It's a US spec S2K that I brought over and slowly built just for the Nordschleife. Softer, non-hardcore-track suspension is preferred there due to the imperfections in the track/public toll road. The American instructor in the video told me that the car was capable of a sub 8 minute lap. He said a supercharged MX5/Miata had recently run an 8 minute lap with traffic and had less power. I told him that sounded like a video game to me. I just couldn't believe it. Then again, it's slightly more about the drivers there than the hardware. My body certainly won't let me run an 8 minute lap in that car just yet.

Thanks again all and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

 

 

 

 

Awesome vid! my dream to do this one day. Can you post a close up of how you mounted your gopro to the helmet on the side like that?
