Track day with the S5

Just sharing a couple of shots that the track photographer took at Buttonwillow yesterday, as well as some footage I got using a GoPro camera mounted to the windshield and a Canon Elph hanging onto the rear-seat headrest. (yes I know, the stock wheels look boring, but I didn't want to run staggered tire widths and also risk messing up my VS-XX if I ran off the track -- looking into a set of track-only wheels):

I haven't noticed any vibration with either set of wheels. I do occasionally catch a groove on the freeway and tramline a bit, and some bumps and unevenness do translate into some steering wheel motion, but nothing I'd describe as vibration.

On the track there was nothing of the sort since the pavement is pretty smooth.
