[Video] Walk-through of the Nordschleife

Porsche has posted this lap of the Nurburgring Nordschleife with commentary.  Insightful viewing after the jump.

Blast from the past

My friend Silas who is a very busy man finally edited and posted his photos of a mini cruise we had at the start of the year.  You can see the photos here as well as read about his recent racing endeavours here.

My goal for today was to apply some tips that Silas (Flameboy) imparted upon me last track day. Overall, I think it went well - I saw an increase in corner speed in general even though I only matched my PB. Thanks to Silas for his insightful comments.

Also, thanks to Exe Crew for my making the track day another great one; and thanks to all participants for coming to race and being part of a memorable day.

Brakes pads and fluid
I have to say that the Project Mu Level Max900i pads and Project Mu G-four 335 fluid made braking feel noticeably better than last track day with Project Mu Type HC+ pads and GS610 fluid. Initial bite of the LM900i pads was better and brake pedal feel remained consistent throughout each session will little to no fade. There was still smoke eminating from my calipers like with the HC+ at the end of each session though.
