And here's a properly-produced video of a lap from the afternoon session, including telemetry. It wasn't my fastest lap of the day - both tires and track were past their prime by session 4 - but it was clean and looked great on video Enjoy!

Wow, that *IS* a properly-produced video. I love that you included a rear-facing camera as well. Excellent driving especially considering you were running a bit bald. :cheers:

Such a great vid! Love the telemetry too.

I'm definitely going to do this next time at Sonoma. Thx for sharing.

IMO that second video has too many cuts, which ended up distracting from the feel of the lap and each corner. IMO it would feel more natural if only a single view was used for a corner, rather than 3 or so. I liked the first video, the one with the ACR, better because it had a smoother flow.

OK, take the above with a grain of salt. Watched it first without sound. Just watched it again with sound, and that helps bring it together better.

Appreciate you sharing and going through the effort to make them. They are very impressive. Thank you!

Ben, it was great seeing you at Laguna two weeks ago. My friend Hany was driving with you in the ACR and I was in the white GT4 . I liked the sound of your R so much that I just picked one up today. :) I hope to see you at the next track event.

ACR, GT4, and GT350R? Congrats! That is a very impressive fleet, and I love them all!

This thing is a beast. Completely bone stock (suspension settings, even) it's running 1:40s pace on my second session. Brakes were unflappable, chassis was willing to rotate... beautiful, beautiful track car.

Nice! Downshift and wind that 5.2 out! Car has a lot more stuff in it... Under 4k RPM? Downshift! 5.2 wants to scream!
