So i finally went to my first road racing experience and took my coupe and my friend came with his b16 crx as well. I'm so definately going back there again

Even though it was my first track experience, i was in the beginner group but still whooped *** in my jdm d15b haha.

Everybody had much higher horsepower cars than I did, I did pretty well. Next time, i'm going to sign up for the intermediate class and see how i do.







Me passing this si on the right.

why? i have never had any in-car instruction. i picked up on quite a bit by playing race sims and watching tons of in-car footage.

 

You know I've been riding along with lots of HPDE newcomers, and I've been really surprised at how decent they w/o any previous track experience. They all cite playing GT3/4... seems like it is making a difference for some.

 

The game can at least give the person a good idea of where the line would be. Which is the biggest problem with new HPDE drivers.

 

growing up playing GT really helped learn how to pick lines and what lines work best for diferent cars with diferent characteristics. GT drivers test FTW!
