Another vid! Road America racing in the rain...

[cstreit]

Well guys, here we go again...

I've posted some in-car video from my 1970 911S of VSCDA's Vintage Fest at Road America. It was 50 degrees, raining sideways, with standing water on the track.

I learned that custom grooved hoosiers as racing rains are absolutely no good as full rain tires, only intermediates..

This video link shows one lap. At the exit of corner six, I damn near lose it. My crew saw it from 25 feet away and couldn't believe I pulled a save out of my a$$...

Way cool...more more more.
Can you get a bit of your helmet in the shot to get a better impression of the movement of the car?
Keep these coming!

I keep forgetting to turn the camera on 'cinema' mode. One of these days I'll give the 16:9 mode a shot and hopefully should give a bit more perspective.

Thanks for the good idea!

Change your wiper to model that is 5-10 cm longer Did it and helps, at least I found it annoying to drive in the rain with small wiper blades.

Cool video. And nice save! I thought you'd lost it for sure. Bet you needed a change of undies after that.

Those cement barriers were looking REALLY close for a brief moment... First time I really had to contemplate serious damage to the car... Good adrenaline rush though...
