I just did a fun track day at Sebring. I was very fortunate to have Ian Stewart, an excellent driver who set lap records at many tracks, ride with me. Ian gave me some great tips on how to improve my lap times. I also wanted to see what my RMW tuned R56 could do in the hands of an excellent driver. So it was a real pleasure to have Ian drive my car and sit beside him. Ian did a fantastic job driving my car around Sebring and terrorizing the more powerful cars. The cars had no choice but let Ian pass!

Here is the link for the onboard video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVumEJiBNRQ

I just hope I can drive like Ian someday! Ian, thanks again for everything!

 

Coop video... I was just watching the video of him breaking the NASA track record for Sebring a couple days ago.

Do you run the Sebring HDPE's with NASA?

 

This Sebring HPDE event was organized by a club called "Hooked on Driving". They are not as well known as some of the other clubs. I also do Sebring HPDEs with another club called Chin Motorsports. I have not done an HPDE at Sebring with NASA yet but plan to do so later this year.

 

Man are those some nice, smooth and consistent lines. I see why he's so f-ing fast .

Longboard

 

Good video, crisp driving!

 

Ian Stewart makes Corvette owners think twice about Minis lol. Especially that yellow Corvette that kept trying to power away from you in the straightaways. I also love the "for real buddy!" comments.

 

Awesome

 

I can't thank Ali enough for letting me drive. The car is great and the power is also very good. Last time I drove it was before the tune and it's significantly faster out of the corners now. Before it seemed to have a fair bit more lag. Ali's car is TTD legal and even with the traffic and the rain I believe we ran under the TTD record. So this is going to be a contender when Ali shows up in TTD. It's still got a fair amount of on throttle push. Couple of places you let it walk away from the apex to stay in the throttle. A rear bar or a better diff would help that A LOT. I don't think he's got the points for the diff so maybe just a rear bar. I believe we were seeing about 125mph on the back straight. What's funny is the corvette's came up to us afterwards and swore we were pulling away on the straights.....

 

Wait till you see Ian at Sebring for the Redline time attack in his car..................

any takers?

 

No pressure Ali but I'm expecting to have
to update my signature by end of year!

 

Ian, thanks again for a great day at the track which I will never forget! A rear sway bar is my next mod for sure. I can't wait to run in TTD!

 

I will do my best to help!!!

 

Ian and I will be there to get you on that top step!!!

 

Awesome!!!

 

I have some ideas for suspension
just have to mock it up for the R56

 

Let's do some test runs at Sebring with the new suspension when it's ready!

 

Great video to watch...excellent driving!

 

I'm actually planning to be at Sebring on June 12 with Chin Motorsports. You going to be there?

 

I won't be there with Chin, but I should be there the following weekend with NASA running in TT.

 

Sorry, I will be out of the country in June. Have fun at Sebring!

 

Done

 

Great driving skills man.
