2001 Daewoo Leganza, Atlanta region autocross, in-car

AutoX in Atlanta, sometime in 2003. Should have labelled the video better when I transferred it off the 8mm cassette. IIRC, this is a second run and I'm sandbagging the first little bit to get a better feel for how hard I could push the tires (was killing the tread, very hot day) and then decided to just go.

This was my daily driver, a 2001 Daewoo Leganza 2.2, 5 speed manual trans. Camera is bolted to a padded plate, in turn bolted through the holes for the child seat mounts on the package tray. Car did extremely well given what it was and what it was meant for... but it had a broad powerband, usually pretty close to the peak 131hp above 3500rpm up to about 500 short of the 7000rpm redline; 3100lbs, fairly well sorted suspension (if a little soft, but would pull .81g skidpad), fairly low gearing, 4 wheel disc brakes, etc.
