Great video - and I like the music. I've never seen such an open track. What kind of event was that?

Im curious where you braked for the turns after the huge back straight ( forget if its the rollercoaster or nascar or w/e they call it)...I was hitting it at around 3.5-4 in my car and trailing through the slight left and snapping up to get my as around that sizable downhill right...I think I could have pushed it later than that...

btw, I was at around 160-165 mph

I was hitting 160 to 168 on the back straight you go into the rollercoaster at the end of that straight very heavy braking there down hill you go off camber left than right than left powering into the front straight. Carried more speed in the shorter front straight than the back around 170 - 175. Great Track

Yup! People always think they're gonna hit faster speeds on the back straight, but if you carry turns16-17A correctly, you'll carry higher MPH and make up serious time on the front straight!

Looked good, but you'll get better with time... This is my "home" track, and I LOVE being there!!!
