Mazda RX8 - Track day at Mecaglisse

2007.07.15 Track day at Mecaglisse.

It was not a good day for me : First time on that track, it was a bit rainy, and the track is very technical... The only place I could shift to 3rd gear was on the "long" straight.

You can see around second 45 that I missed my positioning and locked my wheels trying to correct.

And in the end, you can see the flagger giving me a black flag : I had hit a tire in the previous lap and broke my side skirt...

I've had better days.... :)

Location : Montreal, Quebec. Canada.

Handles great, no fishtailing... must be a blast to drive Have you raced anyone yet(from a light)?

As pchou said, I dont consider that as a sport, although yes, it did happen, specially in the beginning where I had just gotten the car... But this car is all about cornering, that's what she's good at...

name of this song?

[napalm84]

well, thats what i woud personally care about (straight line acceleration) if i did not go to the racing track every time...

[pchou]

honestly..napalm84 flooring your gas from a stop is not sport in my opinion. It's more like how much money you are willing to slap into your car to make to go straight really really fast. track driving or skid pad has more involvement.
