Hi,

I have gone to a TrackDay event at Interlagos, Sao Paulo, Brazil (the same track used by the F-1). It is stock, but I have played with EcuFlash a little (a mix of Gunzo 91, Gunzo 93, with less aggressive timing). Tires were stock, and I didnt have time to change camber, toe and so on.

I am used to take trackdays with my Eclipses (2008 GT, 1995 GST, 1995 GSX) and this is, by far, the best car I ever drove. I am in love with it.

Most of the videos were recoreded with a GoPro HD Motorsports.

First battery Evo X - Internal Cam

With street tires, less power, no race suspension, no track setup, ASC all turned on, I have beaten my own Eclipse 4G time (laptime - 2:03), without forcing the Evo to its limits (laptime - 2:02). Simply an incredible car.

Evo X - External Cam

With ASC turned off, I had more fun an a slighly better lap time. 2:01

The only problem with the Evo is related to its fueling. When just above 1/2 tank, after left turns, I ve got some serious hesitation, probably due to lack of fuel. That was really annoying and I have lost some batteries due to this.

Bellow are some more pictures:

Woah, they allow hand held devices! Unsafe IMO. Where is the pool of oil...I'm looking thru the video many times and I see nothing on the track...and whatI do see goes under the middle of the car not in the tires path... Unless this thing is RWD...LOL.

Looks fun as hell though. I haven't been on track since last June. I want to go out again so bad.

When taking a passenger, I dont get too fast, specially when he/she is holding a cam. The oil was there, from a broken Subaru. Lots of cars were having problems at that point. "Pool" wouldnt be the right word. I am going to edit this.

I have to get to something like that sometime. Just looks like a blast. Your wifes car looks good. My buddy has one (different color) and looks real good. I like the body style I guess
