My on board @ Circuit of the Amercias

DR_ · 01-13-2013, 09:35 PM

It was the first ever public track event at the new track. It was hosted by The Drivers Edge, who I often instruct for, and it went really well. We hope we left them with a good impression as we really want to be invited back!
Here is a lap from this afternoon.

Here are some pictures from my album

Nice! Went to the f1 race, beautiful track.

clintfocus · 01-13-2013, 11:24 PM

also, how much was the track day for people not instructing?

HArturo319 · 01-13-2013, 11:27 PM

That's freakin' awesome

DR_ · 01-14-2013, 06:42 AM

It was $375 per day while most Drivers Edge events at other tracks are $300 and you get both Saturday and Sunday. Spots were extreamly limited as COTA doesn't allow more than 35 cars on track at a time. There were Grand Am drivers (who race there March 1-2) offering $1k for spots.

You on street tires because those things are loud!

I was on the stock original Bridgestone Potenzas RE050A. My steering wheel felt more like a volume knob at that track.

that looks like a fun track! Hopefully I can get there sometime

DR_ · 01-14-2013, 11:08 AM

Lets just hope they schedule more track day events there!!

sig11 · 01-14-2013, 03:22 PM

That is sure a spiffy track. Sounds like you have those RE050s right on the edge the entire lap too. :P

35 cars on track seems like a silly limit considering the length of the track and all the room you have...

SPOHN · 01-14-2013, 05:44 PM

Wow. What an amazing track. Great driving.
