Autobahn Opening Weekend

Saturday was a washout for me, Sunday appeared a little bit better weather wise, so I ventured out to the Autobahn Country Club's opening weekend.  The Audi club was there running on the South circuit, it looked like there were a lot of people having fun.  My only goal was to bed the brakes, scuff the tires a bit and get used to the new setup on my Z06.

My first session was uneventful, I bedded the brakes and cooled it down and brought it in.  I snapped a few pictures and had some lunch with some of the guys.

Lotus Cup Car

Ducati Monster

"Autobahn Racer's" C5 FRC race car

"Short-Throw's" C6 Z06

Rudy's C5 Z06

Here's some track video from the North circuit in a session with two of the vettes pictured above.  This is some pretty conservative driving by all, it was the opening weekend, my car had a bunch of new modifications so I wanted to take some time and enjoy re-learning my car on the track.  jimbacus.mylaps.com
