My onboard camera during the 2011 Abarth Race Days at the Varano de Melegari racetrack. First time driving it on dry track and also with new Brembo brakes. Enjoy 3 laps with me driving my Abarth!

  • what was the top speed, I'm curious, please

    110-120 km/h ?

  • @Spaha93 I think it was around 140 km/h

  • Was that filmed with a GoPro ? i like the footage, seems to be the right track for your car ! Still you would be much faster if you would get the corner entry point right, so you wouldn't have to correct your steering three times inside the corner getting understeer. And also try to rev-match the engine while downshifting using heel and toe...Beside that, great video ! Enjoyed it very much

  • @TheGetawayer Yes GoPro HD Motorsports, thanks for your comment, yes i know i could have driven much faster (and better), but it was my 1st time on dry track, hope to drive better next time!

  • @matty2k001 Thanks for your comment. Well you have to consider it's a small car and with 175hp it's very very fun to drive. If you're not afraid of the risk you can crash you can drive as fast as you can. I have to say, i was trying to do my best but i was pretty disappointed. That day i made a 2nd session on track with a copilot who taught me the trajectories and a good braking points, and i drove much faster than here. Next time i will drive at Imola track, hope for a decent result :)

  • Lol you can't expect him to drive any better... it's his personal car which I doubt he wants to push to the limit while at the same time being safe. Let's not forget it's a 175HP car and not a twin turbo 12 cylinder aswell... Good job Marchettino, video was very entertaining nonetheless.

see all

  • lol no balls for speed ?^^

  • @Spaha93 150-160

  • @V8Roehrldrifter Thanks! Yes i wasn't driving very good, i drove a few weeks ago again on track and i will upload some videos, and i was definitely driving much better than here. I did also some heel toe, i'm learning to do it correctly ;)

  • @marchettino Nice Vid. Fantastic Camera position!!! You drive with both hands and let the hand only for shifting from the steering wheel, thats very good. The ideal line on the track is not the best but practice makes the master. The most importand thing is that you should learn heel and toe. You can practice this every day on the streets.

    Thx for the Vid and greetings from Germany.

  • @marchettino nice

  • I feel like a passenger!

  • Nice laps...what's your job??

  • Your 500 Abarth is really cool. It makes a lovely noise too.
