video track day lurcy lévis france

[calou56]

it was sunday 20th april.

The car is always my nissan primera GT 1992. There is a topic on the forum in which you can see her.

We were 60 cars.
- 5 ferrari
- renault clio cup
- catheram
- audi r8
- austin mini
- honda civic and integra

The primera is fantastic. It's the less attractive car for the other driver, but it is one of the faster car! It is very funny!:lol:

On this movie I follow a audi r8, it's fun!

Cool video.. thanks for posting it. Not sure if you're open for inputs... but on the long right hander before the left... I'd suggest late apexing it a bit more.. you should get alot faster apex out speeds.

I like driving in the wet like that, it forces one to go slower and driver VERY smooth..so you really get to know the line well.

Thanks for posting it!!

Can you reformulate your sentence? I don't understand the word apex and I don't find any translate.

In this long right, the car was very reactive. It understeered very easily when I moved my feet from the accelerator. The condition were very difficult because it's in the middle beetween rain and dry.

i think he means your taking/coming out of the corners too tightly... you should broaden the diameter (apex?) of the turn so you can a) reduce the amount of speed lost going in and b) maximize acceleration coming out.

ok I understand. Normally, I do like this when it's dry. But when I made the video, it rained 1 hours before, and the best way to get grip was to stay inside the corners. The outside was very slippery. The "trajectory" are not the same under the rain, or the dry

very nice video! kh2 primera's ftw!!

Apex is the point closest to the inside of the corner. So a late apex is where you stay a little wider and get closest to the inside a little further round the corner. Light blue line in this pic.

^^^^^^^^^^^^ What Mark said! :)

That is EXACTLY what I was trying to say.. (and tampa you were also right on). But Mark is "Mark=google" as usual. :)

All these track pics and vids are making me want to go back to the track.............

[calou56]

ok nice picture!

Like I have ever said it 's the best way when the track is dry. But because of the rain, the track were not good if I start the corner like the blue one.
