1st track day in my 2017 BRZ

There hasn't been a new thread here in a while. So, check out my latest BRZ track day video

This was an SCCA Track Night in America event, pretty casual lapping type of event. A friend of mine was also out there in his 2017 PP BRZ and we did a bit of lead/follow. Good time!

I wish everyone would get out on the track with their stock or modified car... you can try to explain the Adrenalin rush to people but words just don't get er done!

oops - didn't realize how old this thread was. My bad.

Welcome to the most expensive hobby of your life

First track day stories are the best.

Everyone thinks they're a BA driver until their first track day when they get owned by a Miata or Civic with 100 whp. Realistically, even as you move up the groups, there will always be someone in a car that should never be able to go that fast smoking everyone else haha.

Fun times, I'm starting to really consider an FRS/BRZ for a newer daily that I can reliably track without having to dump too much $ into it beyond basic cooling/brake/suspension mods. I'm scared to test drive one because I know once I do it's game over. It's the comfortable 2+2 hardtop miata that I've always wanted. If only it were a fastback...

Oh, it wasn't my first track day, just the first one in my 2017 BRZ

I have a dedicated e36 track car for HPDE/TT that i regularly drive. The BRZ is a superb track car though!
