sorry about the bad driving ... I had issues with the powersteering and a big F/R brake balance issue so I wasnt concentrated att all (plus that's my first time on this track, my first time with this car on a track, and the first time this car gets to a track :-)) hopefully the video is still cool :-)

Paul Ricard is a beautiful track that I would love to drive on. Not sure which would be first on my list though, Nordschleife or Circuit de la Sarthe, but I do know the French Paul Ricard circuit wouldn't be far down the list.

KRLO, I see you still have fast hands, last vid I saw you were harassing a 911 with a loose rear end Z.

Paul Ricard is on the French riviera in the mediteranée yes, the dash is the Haltech one.
Should be back there in about 20 days ... with race gas and twice the boost :-)

Zazz93, your comment is quite the idea of "how to mix the safest and the most dangerous track in the world" as the Paul Ricard HTTT is probably still the safest beeing owned and developed by Bernie Ecclestone for F1 Development, and as The Nür is still considered as the hardest most risky track... I'd love to drive on the Nür but with a rental, I'd be too afraid to kill my Z33.

Vid 2 @ 1:42 in, that corner you took with 1 hand made me think you were gonna lose it. If you had to correct the steering quickly if you had lost the a$$ you would have been done.

Nice track though, can you post some specs on the car?

Hey KRLO,

Did you track it before you put on the V2 front and canards? I'm interested to know if your "butt dyno" can feel a difference or lack of balance without a wing? I ask because I kinda had a sense of a balance issue with a similar setup.

Too many gauges you'll never look at.

Late reply,

Zazz93:
I did track it before the V2 Bumper but in NA and with standard size tires so I can't tell.

fart canon:
They were all like: please don't put in the race gass yet :-)

randomhero:
too many gauges I (or my co-pilot) keep my eyes on all the time if you look at the video... I'm not gonna let a stupid oil temps or egt value destroy my setup... until now everything stays OK after 30 minutes sessions NON-STOP but you really need all those when runing this kind of setup, I'd say you need those even on a lightly moded 350Z as soon as you track it hard.
