R32 - Kyalami video

Post by sixteen10 »

Hi All

I finally edited my track day vid , and rather poorly I might add lol.
It was my first time out on track with my car and I loved every second. The R32 is so composed and so grounded out on the track that it made for a really great experience.

My lines weren't great , I am no track day expert , and the second lasxt right hander had me every time. Apart from that the only other corner that I wasn't getting right was the final left hander onto the main straight , only because I was purposely trying to get as close to the wall on every lap to blast the spectators with the aural pleasure that is R32.

Here is a map of the track :

And the video , I hope you enjoy it :



Any criticism welcomed :wave:

Awesome sounding car is sounding awesome :)

Looking at the clip, I think you should try turning in a bit later, so that you almost late apex the corner. Also with the 4wd and understeer you need to really man handle the car into the corner. Apexing early, I think makes the understeer worse. But I am talking for racing a fwd car, so I could be a bit off.

Most important thing is that you enjoy yourself :)

Thanks Howie , very similar advice to what Ryan E posted on Vortex. Next year bring your R up to JHB and spend the weekend with me and we can do Kyalami together :)

Thanks for all the other comments, hope it was enjoyable! :)
