They would hold me up for lap after lap. Some would eventually give me a point by, but some would do it on the straight away and they wouldn't back off the gas? Hah, total d*ck move.

[@pushslice]

Nice vid. I have an RX8 track car and indeed, I can often keep up (or pass) with quite a number of big-powered cars as long as the driver is a notch below my skill level. Or even sometimes they are good drivers, but they are still on the OEM tires (300+ TW rated stuff), And by the back half of the session, all that power has simply turned those poor tires greasy and they can’t drive as confidently. Same with the brakes. The nice thing about the RX8 (or my Miata) Is the superb balance and fairly low weight means it doesn’t beat on the tires and brakes so much, and you can go 10/10 for an entire session with no worries.

[@davidkelley751]

I completely understand the advantage of light cars. At a track day I did in my 2004 Volvo S60R I had to point by a number of Miata’s, because they could hold their momentum through the corners. My car has 300hp, brembos, and weighs 3,500 pounds. Which overall isn’t a bad combo, but a car with less than half the power but like 1,500 pounds less could easily smoke me. Granted it was also my first track day so I didn’t have a whole lot of experience or confidence. My dad took his 2007 GT500, which probably makes like 500whp roughly. Lowering springs and lower control arms the only handling mods he had done. And that thing weighs like 3,900 pounds. He had to let a Fiesta ST pass him multiple times. The fiesta was properly setup with good suspension, tires, bolt ons, etc. and that thing was moving. So I realized how much of a benefit a light car is.

In the tight constant turns, 40mph is 40mph. Soon as the straightaways came, of course I got decimated but it was the king of turns. Right up there with my NA Miata I had too. No power at all but a total threat in the turns
