Camera point out back, turned out neat

[harryrcb]

I decided to try a new camera view and was pleasantly surprised on the results. I wish I could integrate the front view into the pic but it’s not in my budget this year, besides there are more important things to spend money on, such as an engine upgrade, brakes, suspension, seats, etc . I found out in this session that I have out driven my G lock and will, at some point, put in race seats, I’m tired (literally) of holding myself in the seat. At the end of the day, I’m exhausted.

Is that a functional wing? I bet your aero efficiency (-lift/drag ratio) goes down when the standard spoiler goes up.

You know I wandered about that too, but I'm turning such good laps, I hate to change anything.

Whether the wing works as an aerofoil or not, the spoiler+wing is a more effective spoiler when it is up. A proper wing is more effcient than a spoiler, though, at generating downforce with less drag.

Whatever works. Looks like you are fast enough.

Harry, what a rush...dang! I think Tony was holding other cars up! You got some titanium balls man, tell Tony to get some more track time and maybe his will harden .

What's with those GTs, one flew by you and then slowed down, that last time you passed it looked like your back end got a little loose, couldn't tell for sure.

Thanks for the video.

Neat video. The Boxster is a great track car, hands down. Also useful is the hands of a good driver who can drive at speed. Probably more important than the actual car itself.

Awww guys cut it out. my head's allready too big....I boosted my hp up to about 310 and got cup tires on it and runs really good. I do however make some mistakes and have been asked by the PCA board of directors to tone it down a notch.... hmmm couldn't be because I passed their GT3, could it? I have probably embarresed a few of those expensive car in my little old boxster. BTW if you want to see more of my vids I'm on youtube , just do a search " harryrcb" (without quotes) and you can see about 40 vids - sticking with a 700hp 997 turbo , etc or go to my channel at YouTube - Harryrcb's Channel
THanks for watching it was more fun making them.

As discussed in a conversation with Jack Olsen (from the 911 boards), to be a good racer, you have to have courage and also be a little bit crazy. No fear goes a long way!

Can you post a full pic of your car with that wing? I'm curious, as I haven't seen one like that before.

thx,
