Default TRACK MONSTER

This car is seriously a track monster.
It has so much grip it's ridiculous.

Stock engine, Tein SRC, 4.77 FG, Spoon LSD, 17x9 245 tires non-staggered, mugen style airbox, decat straight pipe, Yokohama A050, and few other suspension components and that's it.

In-car @ GIC

There are more vids of the car and track on my youtube page.
Feel free to comment on the driving.

Almost crashed near the end

A little reckless passing cars on the turns, no?

Wow, very nice, feels like I'm right in the passenger seat with you!
I also like the angle, well, I don't watch many track videos, but I liked how I can clearly see your dash
Very nice driving though, I felt really confident with you at the wheel, haha, especially when you were fixing your harness? And going no hands on the wheel at like 150+mph for a quick second...

Ok, since you asked, I will. You drive way too aggressively for what appears to be an amateur trackday. I'm pretty sure most tracks around here would black flag you for that. Also, looking around/scratching your nose/adjusting your harness at 100+ doesn't really seem like a bright idea.

And yet, passes like that are perfectly normal and accepted at motorcycle trackdays. Different orgs have different rules and if everybody's on the same page and the people being passed expect it, it's no big deal. Notice he never stuffed the S2000 on the inside of corners? He either passed on the outside, or waited until it was obvious the car ahead was giving him room on the inside. Looks like many of those cars were race-preped as well, so they're likely used to traffic in the corners.

And checking your belts, scratching your nose, etc., is what we're told you're supposed to be doing on the straights. You relax, check your gauges, flex your fingers to get rid of that death grip, etc.

dickers, far as I can tell, you turn in progressively, have a consistent line, always keep your hands at 3 and 9, you brake downt to the apex... Post up in the S2000 Racing forum https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showforum=11, see what the guys there have to say, they have a lot of experience with this sort of thing.

Sorry guys, didn't make it clear about the rules.
No rules, no black flag or whatsoever.
Feel free to comment!

Trust me, if you see how others were driving...you'd want to rape them on the track.
