Video: Mid-Ohio

Nothing earth-shaking here; I give myself a B+ on the line and a C for aggressiveness. That's pretty much my MO, as can be seen in videos that I'll post from other tracks that I ran in my race car.

The fastest lap is a few seconds off my best. Despite the suspension and tires, I never did get over the feeling that I was piloting an awfully heavy and not-very-responsive motor vehicle around this handling track.

I ran in Sport+ to keep rev-matching ON. I by far prefer DSC OFF but found the heel-and-toe to be impossible in this car. As a result, at the video's beginning, and again at 1:48 and 3:34, the car basically parks itself while the DSC "helps" me. Just pathetic, really.

-------------------------------------------

Hadn't seen/noticed this before, but youtube is now defaulting to showing videos in standard definition? If that's what you get, once the video's started click on Settings and choose 1080p for HD playback.

nice video. I live in Shaker Heights and have done Mid Ohio a handful of times with my 230i. Who were you with to get track time? I've been doing Autointerests. Good organization.

Thanks.

I've almost always run with marque or time trial clubs; at Mid-O, they've been:

BMWCCA's Buckeye Chapter, which has a mid-August event each year: http://buckeyebmwcca.org/; and,

PCA's Ohio Valley Region Chapter, with mid-June and mid-October events: http://ovrpca.org/.

I don't know about other clubs, but both those allow every driver a shot at one of the garages. That was a definite plus as far as I was concerned. They're both very friendly and low-key outfits, with quite a few drivers coming to all three of the events.
