SLK55 filming SLK55 @ TWS

Two links, one for each half of the run. The 55 being filmed is stock except for coilovers. The camera car has an x-pipe and greenies but is otherwise stock. Camera car is on Hoosier R6's in this vid.

TWS June 8, 08 Run 2 - Video

June 8, 08 2nd half of run 2 - Video

More of you guys should put your 171's on the track. The guy being filmed had a 350 before this 55. It was also a very quick car on the track.

Nice vids!

Hate to say it but from the time I watched the camera car seemed to have the better line and was actually having to hold back because of the one in front

Astute observation. John (car in front) doesn't have the track time I do but is learning at a very good clip. Right now, at TWS, I'm turning about 2-3 seconds faster per lap with no traffic. That was the purpose of this video, to give him something to study.

Very good film for learning from, not often you have that perspective of someone filming you from behind.

Definately helps to show moving to the outside before the corner and then using the full width of the track so you can bring the power on quicker as you power out.

Good stuff and happy practising to the both of you!
