^just download the one of "STi running laps at Gingerman"
my impressions of the track (first time ever being there) were really positive, the track is a lot of fun to drive, and fairly straight forward. It was disapointing that I couldnt get an instructor to ride with me because i signed up for intermediate, so i had to sort out my line myself. But it is really nice to have the video to review, i know many areas where my line can be revised and improved. And I will shift out of 4th to 5th on the 2 main straights and then downshift next time. Hopefully I can go back in the spring again and get a decently faster lap.
I got a little frustrated with some of the people running in my group. There were many off track excursions, i think too many people think they are hot shots in intermediate. But regardless it was fun. Too bad I didnt have the camera running when 2 times someone spun out in front of me.
Oh in the video, i got a bit annoyed with that m3 when i was stuck behind him for like 2 laps (not all shown) and he took forever to signal me to pass. It was a little funny, but unfortuanate, that when he finally let me pass him he spun of track a few turns later (not on tape sadly). I guess he got mad BMW engineering failed him
Anyway, it was a good time for sure. Enjoy the video critique my line if you would like
Oh and BTW my dad wasnt there with his 997s, well because I went from my college, which is significantly closer to gingerman than home for dad. Hopefully next season we can both get to midohio again!
