Default Race onboard videos - Rio Hato Panama

I know the track is not the best, but that's what we have in my country. In the past was a US southern comand military airport.

This i the first heat. The car that is in front of me is an ex-tri-point mazda protoge and the one that past me is an ex-realtime racing integra. I got a black flag on the first heat because my car collected some type of wire on the track and it got stuck to the rear diffuser.

This is the second heat, I started in six place and finish first.

That track doesn't look so bad. There used to be alot of club racing on airports here too. In fact some racers here still race on tracks where you only turn left...just two times per lap.

Scott, who..."I know, can you believe it?"...

Ohhh nice, gearing seems quick, eh?
Car moves, I was gonna do a 17" track wheel/tire setup as well, but settling for 15" for now.

Yes geering is quick jeje.

17" wheel/tire will give you a lot more grip. I had 15" before and is like night and day.

that motor sounds very healthy. also the tech/safety down there i can see i not at the upmost importance. corner workers almost standing on the curbs. the vw rear door swinging open on every left corner. your windshield is cracked like crazy.

The engine has good power and is very reliable.

Security is not the best as you mention. Since this is an old airport and no one do any maintaines on it. The windshield id crack but if I change it it will crack on the next race for sure.
