@@aidenless3479 I knowww I wish I could! I get all of the data from the obd2 port and for some reason it doesn't record the brake pressure :// there's gotta be a way to do it but I can't figure it out
As a former SV650 racer, I feel the “going fast in a slow rig” life. Nice video also, captions help us understand what you’re doing and thinking. Have fun out there!
This was very entertaining. Raw, but not messy, and with not too many edits. This track seems just about perfect for a BRZ. I like how you touched the water and it clearly unsettled the car, only because it shows you are driving near the limit for the tires. Subscribed.
I love this video format you have going on. I recently started tracking my GT-350 and got the bug hard. It's clear from watching this that you are FAST. Excellent lines, great balance on the wheel, controlling your understeer and being patient at the apex before adding power. I've actually been thinking about a GR86, or something with a B58 motor in it just to go full blown race car - slammed/caged/gutted/aero. The GT-350 is an absolute blast on track but the cost of consumables are astronomical. If you ever plan a trip down to Sebring or Daytona - let me know!
thanks man!! might be a bit biased but I rly think you can't go wrong w those new gen 86s 👌 a supra would be sweet too they're dominating the time attack world from what I've seen
After tracking big motorcycles and small ones I can tell you the smaller stuff is cheaper, safer and not nearly as scary as the big stuff. Same with cars.
Wow, really impressed how much performance you extract out of the car on stock power! That's pretty encouraging to a fellow owner weighing the cost of a supercharger kit.
I like vicariously watching you race on the track because you have a nice lil Subaru keeping up with the big dogs. It also sounds SO GOOD going "BRRRRrrrrrrr rubbrburbrub BRRRRRRRRrrrrrr", very asmr. Keep up the great work!
@@Snoigel nasa actually has a really good program for this. I did one track day with them and they have in car instruction as well as class room instruction before hand
As someone who does a lot of autocross, just get into it. Go through the process, ride along with people, ask questions and then spend some money! Lol, also depending on what class you are trying to compete in
@@dadhats well my car is an auto and has relatively stock suspension, I generally get my racing energy out of me in my sim rig but if i were to track an auto itd feel weird at this point
Ahhhhh much better than the previous video 😂😂😂😂 I understand to a much better degree of how this style of racing works 👏🏻thank you sir you have earned a sub 👌🏻 I look forward to new and future videos
Luke "NOOOOOOO"......you are killin me sir, excellent driving btw, I have a 2014 5.0 that i have taken out only once on the track. I really like your BRZ, I think this is the best bang for the buck sports car there is, i like Miatas too, but not a fan of roadsters, i would much rather have a coupe. Thanks alot for posting, i may be looking in to one of these soon!
Yeah it would be awesome if you showed us some everyday life with the car. How you got into track days and how to improve. I live close to Road Atlanta and Atlanta Motorsports Park. It’s been my dream to drive a session there and I’m just waiting for my 2022 BRZ to get here in October. You’re awesome bro!
I can def do that! think I'm planning to do a build overview first and how the car came to be in my possession (it's a fun story lol) and then I'm down to go over my track experience and how I got into this 👍 Driving Road Atlanta would be awesome, def on my bucket list of tracks to go to! played it on the sim a bunch and love it to death.
Randomly stumbled across your videos and am enjoying them. I used to have a 17 BRZ and have a 23 BRZ on order. Never tracked my car before due to expense/risk/lack of tracks near me but it does look fun so maybe someday. I’ve owned faster more powerful cars, but imo nothing beats a perfectly balanced, sub 3000 lb car with 200-250hp. Enough to have fun, but you also have to work to maintain speed (which is part of the fun)
Nice. Looks like you are ready for road racing - its a huge level up from track days, and totally worth it (I road raced an AE86 for 25 years). Track looks like it really flows nice and easy; no doubt really rewards smooth and consistent. Always a trade-off... Pick if you like corners or straights.... Miata's catch me only in the really tight stuff, and I fly away everywhere else.... and that's in a Lexus LS400 lol....
Amazing times on 300tw street tires! I pulled a 1:19:45 at Lightning last weekend on RT660s but significantly compromised brakes in my 350Z. Gotta battle it out sometime!
POSSIBLE TIP: At the 00:22 point of your laps, the track fades left before a hard-ish right-hander. In that corner, your line eases left, _seemingly_ in prep for a right-hander about 10mph faster than you're going! If you were to cut right sooner -- loading the (left-side) suspension a tad sooner, you could (IMO) add throttle sooner and more, because the car would already be positioned to scrub some off, it you'd added too much. In the greater radius that your current route takes, by the time the suspension is that loaded (by the time the g-forces have pushed down to have the tires singing, you're already mostways through the corner, with a straightaway in front of you, finally hitting that +10mph. Does that make sense? I think you could hit your exit speed sooner, if you load the suspension earlier, with a cut to the right. Anyways, FUN VIDs!!!
You inspire me and make me feel confident I made the right decision getting a 2020 Toyota 86. I want a similar set up, I’d like more power with a supercharger or turbo but you’re right I feel it’s not worth the reliability hit, maybe I’ll do that once I have another car I can daily. Keep up the great content, you’re a great driver!
awesome glad to hear it!! these things are so quick when boosted lol it's like a cheat code 😂 I would love to have that kind of power not gonna lie lol
Hola! Great videos! Absolutely brilliant how you include the maps, laps, speed, time data. Not sure if possible, but a split screen showing front and rear would be awesome!!
@@dadhats There's a channel called wheres981 that does a really cool split screen where they fade the front cam into the rear. Like this: th-cam.com/video/9qloAMjKm9I/w-d-xo.html. Granted, he doesn't include the steering wheel but you could still look into something similar.
Love the vids especially that corvette one hahahaha - I’m looking to hit NJMP this summer finally for my first time on track - maybe I’ll run into you sometime!
Nice driving, dad! Fellow 86er. Love the relatable meme-ish track day content. Since you asked for interacts… what made you spring for the wing? Any track experience beforehand? Curious, too, about the airlift suspension. Is there a comparable spring rate and ride height you can share? Also, alignment preferences? Much appreciated. 🙏
I got the wing before track experience lol I just wanted something that looked cool and track ready. don't even know if it works 😂 I got the car used and one of things that came with it was air suspension. not sure how to compare it to a normal coilover system tbh and for alignment I'm running -3.3°f and -2.2°r
Your videos are great! I too would love to see a video on your setup. I'm looking to get on a track for the first time and your videos are inspirational!
Haha i know that feeling, the track I was going to I’ve been trying to shave .03 off my last 5 visits to break the 1:30 mark. The fastest time in a comparable car to mine is 1:27.9 I think so I really want or get under 1:30.
I love the telemetry you’ve got going on! About to search for a video where you talk about your tech set up for the car and something for how you capture your telemetry details.
thanks man! the short answer is racechrono + obd2 port reader + external gps. I have gotten a lot of requests for this so I should probably get to making a video on it
I haven't tracked my C6Z yet but when I had my C5 I was often early on the brakes a lot because the car Stops so violently and so hard I would elect to break earlier and lighter rather than risk breaking two soon and basically stopping before the corner or too late and having the power and acceleration to make up for it was a crutch admittedly. Now I live 20 minutes from mid-Ohio and just got my SCCA membership Paid need to carve out time to pick out a helmet and hit a HPDE and get back into the groove.
@@dadhats I love seeing how you can hang with cars that have twice the power you have. This shows me that I don't need a high horsepower car to succeed at the track. My Civic only has 140hp.
Good driving! Good videos! I used to do this stuff all the time, before I had to spend on my money on kids. I just wanted to say, if you're braking into that last turn, I don't think you need to. Pretty sure you've got the grip and the control to just lift through there.
I love how on it you were during that lap at like 9:00. You can just tell how much quicker you were, and even can see less out of the windshield as you angle your head a bit more down and into each corner, thought that was really cool haha. It's like chasing down that RS gave you that little confidence boost to hammer down next lap :P Really sucked coming up on traffic, but such is life! haha. Nice driving!
@@dadhats yeah, a camera that records behind you. So as you mentioned in the video the 350z spin-out would have been recorded. It probably wouldn't have to be as high quality as the 60fps pov one but having it would ensure that more action can be captured.
@@TheBigNate505 yea gotcha! I want to do it just gotta figure out where to place the "rear view mirror" in the video. might do picture in picture and put it on the dash so it doesn't obscure your view of the track
@@dadhats Ah good point. Honestly I would probably not have the rear view camera running all the time (because most of the time there's not much to see) but instead just insert full-screen clips of the rear camera every once in a while when something interesting happens like a spin out or close pass. That way you wouldn't have to worry about placing it somewhere not distracting and such. I'd also get a couple of other opinions though because I'm not a creator myself lol
Great driver in that Vette compared to the other video. He had a good race line but messed up on a few braking points. No biggie. You did great though!
I've done autocross with my uncle in his C6 corvette and my car as well. There seems to be 2 types of corvette owners in my experience: 1. Golfers 2. Trackbros who put in actual suspension and tear out those trash leaf springs. Nice Driving btw!
Learning all the apex's and knowing how hard you can push makes such a difference. Practice, practice. Nice driving. What's your alignment & suspension setup? Seems like you could tighten the suspension a little & maybe more -camber? If you're already at -2 or 2.5 you can't go more.
Corvette driver here👋 the car was on 320tw tires, stock suspension, crappy pads and rotors. First track day with the car, wanted to push it to its limits before swapping everything out. Very bad brake fade, high oil Temps, and crazy body roll stock😭
Awesome video again. At least one local dealer is actually talking to me about buying at MSRP, hopefully I can close the deal here in a few months. The 2023s are out, on the 86 (not sure about the BRZ), I had no idea they were out yet.
dang are they really?? hope you get one dude the new ones are a serious improvement over the first gen. they underrated the engine, it makes 215whp depending on the dyno 👀
I occasionally drive my wife's AE111 and have the same problem. It has a 10,000rpm 12.9:1 comp built engine, ap racing calipers, coilovers, light weight wheels, great tires, 6 speed lsd, carbon clutch, bracing etc weighing 1000kg. Its radical to drive and heaps of fun but the same problem with traffic and high powered cars slowing you up in the corners. My car is a bit more scary and on edge to drive and is only slightly faster on a lap. Good times
Half a second can be yours if you take more of the apex curb turn one. Not sure if you want to bounce off the curbs in a street car though. It tends to be tough on the dampers. The lap you said too much curb is almost the right amount of curb. You can take more. very nice driving. You should move up to the advanced run group.
thanks! nope not yet. still in intermediate but probably going to try to move to advanced, especially for lightning and Pocono. I'm trying to go there soon potentially early August if my schedule lines up!
A competent driver in a corvette should be miles ahead of an frs. 3x the hp is pretty hard to overcome. He would be flying by you on the straights if he could drive.
Great driving bro...i suggest u do an engine swap with the new modified K24 500HP Naturally Aspirated engine...search up online...that swap will get u much faster on any track...
Hey loved watching this with my morning coffee. So Im not qualified to coach anyone, but have been known to race some cars and think your on a very good learning curve. Just use a bit more of the track on entry in a few places and youll have your 119s. Also, think you need to be in a faster run group, if you could carry your speed thru several laps without all that dangerously slow traffic your there easily. Again, Im not trying to be anyone but it easy to see where you can improve as you do so many things correctly. Ps. nice calm hands as well.
thanks man! glad you enjoyed the video! I did actually end up getting into the 1:19s by the last session, my gopro just failed me lol. I think I'm going to try to switched to advanced class, I've had a couple people mention that to me so hopefully I'm ready 👌
I did two or three events in my 240Z long time ago and I decided right away that I needed to Triple or quadruple a horsepower... a lot of your frustrations will go away. Put some 255 Square on there with a 200 tread wear or even 100 and it'll make it a whole lot more fun and buy them in the winter for the following summer. you can always find a deal over the winter. Just keep them in plastic bags and make sure they don't get below freezing.
I'm honestly keeping it low power on purpose! I got the money to boost it, swap it, or even trade up for a faster car but I want to prove to people that power isn't everything (even tho is a very significant factor towards lap times lol)

thanks man!!
You're videos are awesome looks like you need more power 😂 would love to see set up videos for camera/mic and track prep/go over the car/mods
thanks!! I could def do that 👌
Telling a BRZ owner to get more power is like telling a BMW driver to start using their indicators, it ain’t gonna happen.

Half of it is knowing the track, the other is car setup.
I've done autocross with my uncle in his C6 corvette and my car as well. There seems to be 2 types of corvette owners in my experience: 1. Golfers 2. Trackbros who put in actual suspension and tear out those trash leaf springs. Nice Driving btw!
very true!!
Leafs are good for drag racing tho
Your speeds through some of those tight corners are damn stout! Good stuff
thank you sir!!
good ole c6
Learning all the apex's and knowing how hard you can push makes such a difference. Practice, practice. Nice driving. What's your alignment & suspension setup? Seems like you could tighten the suspension a little & maybe more -camber? If you're already at -2 or 2.5 you can't go more.
yessir!!
Just found your channel, hooked.
thank you dude! plenty more coming 👌
Corvette driver here👋 the car was on 320tw tires, stock suspension, crappy pads and rotors. First track day with the car, wanted to push it to its limits before swapping everything out. Very bad brake fade, high oil Temps, and crazy body roll stock😭
dang you did pretty good for your first time out! those cars are still crazy fast even without a proper setup
Awesome video again. At least one local dealer is actually talking to me about buying at MSRP, hopefully I can close the deal here in a few months. The 2023s are out, on the 86 (not sure about the BRZ), I had no idea they were out yet.
dang are they really?? hope you get one dude the new ones are a serious improvement over the first gen. they underrated the engine, it makes 215whp depending on the dyno 👀
A brz can take on a vet damn
Fun to watch, I have the same or similar car. Makes me want to take it to a track.
do it!! they're way too much fun not to at least try it 👌
I occasionally drive my wife's AE111 and have the same problem. It has a 10,000rpm 12.9:1 comp built engine, ap racing calipers, coilovers, light weight wheels, great tires, 6 speed lsd, carbon clutch, bracing etc weighing 1000kg. Its radical to drive and heaps of fun but the same problem with traffic and high powered cars slowing you up in the corners. My car is a bit more scary and on edge to drive and is only slightly faster on a lap. Good times
Time for a back Cam!
yessir! got one coming 👌
Seems like they'd want that water off the track asap when it's as simple as a leaf blower. Your line puts you right into unless you adjust
That BRZ rips!
Half a second can be yours if you take more of the apex curb turn one. Not sure if you want to bounce off the curbs in a street car though. It tends to be tough on the dampers. The lap you said too much curb is almost the right amount of curb. You can take more. very nice driving. You should move up to the advanced run group.
I'll have to try it! you're not the first person to mention this to me so I'm def down to give it a shot next time I'm there 👍
Nice job friend
A rear camera would be badass for those clips you could have a rolling display up or only show highlights👌
for sure! if the "rear view mirror" doesn't work the way I want I def could use it to show highlights like you said 🤔
nice driving!
It seems crazy to be that you are always foot down in acceleration but I mean you hardly skip the tires so well done!
He only has 156lbs torque. That is not enough to skip tires...
Clearly you've shown that HP is definiltey not everything, great run at NJMP
Sweet drive 🚗
Nice!
Though not a fan of Subarus I will say using a manual car with just a NA motor and your performance on the track that I can respect that.
appreciate it! I'm not a fan of the Subaru engine they put in these so I get it 😂
You're a great driver. Are you in the advanced group? I love the footage and data, its very helpful. Looking forward to a video on Thunderbolt
thanks! nope not yet. still in intermediate but probably going to try to move to advanced, especially for lightning and Pocono. I'm trying to go there soon potentially early August if my schedule lines up!
Hey awesome vid what mods are done to the subie
thanks! all mods in description 👍
A competent driver in a corvette should be miles ahead of an frs. 3x the hp is pretty hard to overcome. He would be flying by you on the straights if he could drive.
Whoa your channel blew up!
Keep up the content, I'm learning lots from you!
right lol it's so wild. guess I'm a real youtuber now 💀
Great driving bro...i suggest u do an engine swap with the new modified K24 500HP Naturally Aspirated engine...search up online...that swap will get u much faster on any track...
I'm sure it would lol if only I had the tens of thousands of dollars to do that
Holy shit looks so fun
it's literally the best 🤝
Hey loved watching this with my morning coffee. So Im not qualified to coach anyone, but have been known to race some cars and think your on a very good learning curve. Just use a bit more of the track on entry in a few places and youll have your 119s. Also, think you need to be in a faster run group, if you could carry your speed thru several laps without all that dangerously slow traffic your there easily. Again, Im not trying to be anyone but it easy to see where you can improve as you do so many things correctly. Ps. nice calm hands as well.
thanks man! glad you enjoyed the video!
I did actually end up getting into the 1:19s by the last session, my gopro just failed me lol. I think I'm going to try to switched to advanced class, I've had a couple people mention that to me so hopefully I'm ready 👌
@@dadhats your ready ! What organization are you doing the track days with & when is next.
@@blakechesbro3602 typically run with tnia since they're cheap. I think my next one is in a few weeks at njmp
I still can’t get over how much Lightning looks like a knocked over cack and balls cake.
😂😂😂 things that I wish I could unsee
1. that
I did two or three events in my 240Z long time ago and I decided right away that I needed to Triple or quadruple a horsepower... a lot of your frustrations will go away. Put some 255 Square on there with a 200 tread wear or even 100 and it'll make it a whole lot more fun and buy them in the winter for the following summer. you can always find a deal over the winter. Just keep them in plastic bags and make sure they don't get below freezing.
I'm honestly keeping it low power on purpose! I got the money to boost it, swap it, or even trade up for a faster car but I want to prove to people that power isn't everything (even tho is a very significant factor towards lap times lol)
Awesome videos! Would love to see how you record things and what stuff your using to record!
appreciate it! sure I can def do that. the short answer is I have a gopro hero 8 with the media mod and have it mounted to my helmet
great driving
