- Finally made it out to the legendary Watkins Glen International! Easily the best racetrack I've been to by far, Watkins Glen has a very fast and flowing layout with plenty of camber changes to keep things exciting. Absolutely cannot wait to come back, awesome event run by the guys over at @MassTuning

I know the driver in that 997 cup car. Super chill dude
Love everything about this video, perfect commentary and hilarious captions lol. BTW, I was also at that same weekend!
thanks man!! I really appreciate it! maybe I'll bump into u next time 🤝
Thanks for showing off your sim rig and especially your puppy 0:30!
Good looker. Great video. Please keep them coming.
will do! thanks for watching :)
Fuck yes dude! I'm so jealous! This is my favorite track to rip on iRacing. I need to get up there one day. Great driving as usual! 🤙
you're gonna love it. best track I've ever been to by far
I went to MassTuning TrackFest Watkins Glen the previous weekend. Hope to catch you there soon. I was running Intermediate, but Viper Nation was there with all their... Vipers and most of the Advance drivers dropped down to Intermediate. WGI is my "Home Track" although I find myself at Pocono more often (family nearby = free lodging). I set my benchmark as 2:15.00 which is about as quick as front running Spec Miatas. Ran a 2:16.733 before my brakes and tires were toast. Had to call it a half day.
oh nice! I'm at pocono pretty often I'm only like an hour and change away from there. dang my pb was only a couple tenths off yours!!
Keep making track day vids with your subaru 86 ;)
Love them.
I own the car too, and they're so fun on cornering. You inspire me to take mine on track one day.
We were there that sunday! Looks like you got way better weather, lucky lmao.
this was a Friday! Oct 20th I think
Awesome driving
thanks man!
Love the track content man keep it up love the videos
thanks man!!
Was gonna make it out this year but just was not able to, next year for sure, tons of people have told me its one of the best tracks in the NE and some even in the whole US. As for now I think Palmer is my favorite in the Northeast.
Great driving, looks awesome, you went in the best time too, leaves are prettyyyy
it's amazing dude you def gotta get out there. I've tried Palmer in the sim in vr and was blown away by the changes in elevation
Really great track, i just made it out there for the first time a few weeks ago. Seems like you could have used a few more hp to help you down the 1st straight. You can really send it in turn 7, brake inside the turn.
it's awesome def the best track I've ever been to. it's a brz it can always use more hp! 😂
It's an amazing track right? The compression on turn 2!! I was signed up too, but F1 Cota was the same weekend. On reflection, I'd have rather been at the Glen. Great lines and driving. See you in the Spring buddy!
loved it!! did you end up getting that Birkin??
@@dadhats just saw this. Yes sir I did. It's in the garage on a battery tender. New Toyo RRR's in the basement awaiting spring. I only got a few hundred miles on it before I put it away. It a blast to drive. 2024 I'll get it to the track ;-)
@@tobyathron7651 that's awesome can't wait to see it! if you're interested we should film a video for the channel going over the car, I have a feeling not a lot of people know what those cars are
@@dadhats sounds like a plan. I'd be up for that. I need to find a tuner that can work with a Delta400 ECU. Any suggestions?
@@tobyathron7651 never even heard of them before. after a little googling looks like they're a pretty niche uk company, might be hard to find a tuner familiar with them on this side of the pond. remote tuning might be your best bet
Can I just say these videos are a testament to the brz's gearbox and drivetrain, your by no means going easy and the car is just taking it. Have you had any gearbox and drivetrain problems over your experience tracking the car?
none so far thankfully! but these 86s actually do have some known transmission problems specifically with the clutch fork giving out
@@dadhats I had one myself for a couple of years and tracked it once or twice, turbo 86/brz's are more likely to destroy transmissions anyway, thanks for the awesome content, From Australia
Clean yo house!
Would you have to install the cage for pro racing?
How do you get to drive full speed on the glen? I only see paced sessions on their website.
check out motorsports reg and search there. I ran with masstuning and think they're there again this year in October
How are you getting brake pressure reading? I got an obd dongle for my m2 manual and going to record at brands hatch in the uk next week…but I couldn’t seem to find a brake option…?
in racechrono it's called brake position % and my obd2 reader records it. if it's not there for you maybe your car doesn't have it? not sure
Car specific, mk7 golf platform doesn’t have it either
Grey driving as always. Was that a cup car or a gt3?
thanks! which one the green one? I assume that one was just a heavily modified gt3rs but not sure. the instructor's gray one he said was a cup car
Why is it that a sawsal to a car always gets people of so much ? It’s just a wall of straight fire noise it’s not sounding good at all if you ask me. I guess flavour is personal, you brz sounds nicer in my opinion
bc racecar. but I agree lol I prefer the instructor's more tame 911 to the straight piped green one
Because its more synonymous with a racecar, you're not hearing a muffler on a f1 or nascar stock car.
