Very intimidating track at first, got the hang of most of it... at one point I tried to set up for 12 a little farther left than usual, got on the curbing coming down the hill, and started to slide slightly.. saved it, and decided to never try that again.. haha
Fast tracking at Road Atlanta was back during the early 70s with the likes of Mark Donahue driving the Sunoco Porsche 917/30 at 200+ down the back straight and barely lifting through the esses.
I drove RA one time and I have to say that the track intimidated me to the point that I never really got the hang of it. I'll try again (one day), but until then I have mad respect for ANYONE that can drive it at 10/10ths.
It has been a few years since I ran open track events at Road Atlanta with my C5R-427, but I really enjoyed the track. I did see a few accidents, but only one where the car was not drivable. I am on the list for a C8 Z06 and looking forward to getting back to Road Atlanta!
RA is the first track that has scared me, took about 3 sessions to lose the fear. Best way I can describe the track is your own personal roller coaster. All the elevation left me a bit nauseous actually.
You were maybe going about 100 mph at 12, and I don't think many armatures have the balls to go through going 120. I think you misspoke. I've only been there once and going again this spring. The first time I hit turn 12 I was over to far left and went into the pits lol. I played it off like I was checking something on my car. It's intimidating, but fun after a few laps.

Great video thanks a lot man as I’m supposed to be heading there in a few weeks for the first time!

Thanks for the tips! I'm going Saturday 🤘
Ever thought of coming to Europe and doing this? Or just the UK, some great tracks here.

If it ain’t dangerous it ain’t fun!
If you think this version is risky you guys should have been around to drive the original layout. The bridge was a turn!

I hated coming up that hill before 12. Always feared blindly coming over that crest.
Is this guy a professional racing driver?
Not even close!
@@ASMotorsports I'd say your better than many "pro" drivers.
Lol
Is he in one of the ASM S2000s that's pulling you around Mid Ohio in your GLTC 2022 video?
Or the ASM BMW?
