for all you people comenting on this guys driving... let me tell you... he is very consistent and knows how to hug an apex... and saying someone is a shitty driver because he spun the car twice... well let me see you handle a 900kg car with 220hp RWD with limited traction control and go fast enough in a bend to actualy unstick it from the tarmac :) all i can say... nice driving and respect :)
If you have not been to Barber Motorsports Park, GO. It is one of the nicest road courses in the world,certainly about the all around nicest in the U.S. I know, Elkhart Lake is bigger, Mid Ohio has its fans (including me) and Lime Rock is so full of charm to be so small, but Barber is just all aound great balance,big enough, but still not so big you only see the cars every 8 minutes, the place is neat and pretty, and the elevation changes are a kick, plus, the bike museum and Lotus collection
From 3:06-3:13 that same thing happened to me on my 1992 Toyota MR-2! Except it was on the street and there's an on coming traffic. And again in the rain. =D
nice video. that first spin where you darted up high right before the pit lane, that is such a bad line and I see so many people take it. There is no reason to get up any further out than 1/3 or middle track from the right hand side. Every time I'm on that track I run up on cars taking that high line really fast. You actually appeared to 'artificially' dart out as though you felt you had to get out to a certain point to take that corner and spun out needlessly. Otherwise, good driving.
Exceeded limit and hot tires. I spin every once and while. Happens at 10/10. On slicks I hit consistent 143, 144s and not know if anyone faster on this track in an Elise. As an instructor, I am constantly taking people on rides and they always say they wildest ride they have been on. Maybe driving like shit, maybe a bit foolish . . .
Great driving. I love watching the car pull away when it hits high rpms.
Thanks. I do use a few different lines now such as double apex the carousel and double apex the hair pin . . .

Nice Vid. Hoping to post a few of my own as the season kicks off.
What tires are you using?

Nice sound from the motor, sounds like a honda engine with a loud v-tec
Looked like a trailing brake into that hard corner, what do you think 996ttcab?
@ DeamonRider100
I already know that this car comes with a 1.8L(2zzge) from the Celica GT-S model, but the sound is like a Honda's sounds. =D
I keep revs above 6400. I have stage II Lotus exhaust and Fujita intake.

which elise is taht..the 111S or R or standard?
I spun out in turn #9 the 911 GT2 training car at Barber. It was scary as hell going into the pit at 130+
Cold tires second time. Tried hard to keep two on so not have to go back in.
which elise is that? 111S or R or standard?
anything special about this elise? sounds especially nice for a 2zz

the only thing i dont like about this car is that the steering weel is on the right side but i havent driven it yet so what do i know
The engine note sounded like a Honda V-TEC.
I am probobly wrong.
same turn twice?
hitting the rev-limiter isn't bad for the engine, it actually protects it! The only thing it hurts is your ego and your lap time...
standard
the facilities are 10x better are barber.
