I just bought a track/daily car . It came with some Rt660s and I want something a little better on the street without compromising too much on the track . Any one have any recommendations?

Looking for a nice middle of the road telematics app / hardware combo for getting more in depth / better vehicle and lap info while on the track.

Right now I use track addict app on my phone + a veepeak but the videos are super shaky and one time I recorded everything upside down :(. The UI also sucks on the computer app they have.

A friend shot some footage of me on his garmin at the track and I was blown away at how clear and sturdy the footy was.

Is there anything in between the two??

For reference I am in an NB miata so space is a bit limited. I will get a garmin next season but wondering if there’s anything in between

Hi I have a 2012 lotus elise I'm looking to get an insurance policy that covers both road and track days, the car is modified and I tend to do 3000 miles per year which includes 4/5 track days. I cant find anywhere online which insures both, any pointers would be great

After a year with my '23 BRZ, I'm looking to make it my weekend/track car next year. Super excited, but very anxious about it.

Looking at ways to make the most out of my first year. Anything that will save a headache or maybe even a few bucks. Any advice is appreciated.

Setup currently: HKS coilovers + exhaust, 245/35/18 Yokohama AD09, basically factory alignment.

Hi all.

I’m currently thinking I’m going to need to track tires. Currently I run Kumho V730s but was wondering if anyone had experience with the Falken Azenis RT615K.

I ask because they are cheaper than the Kumhos but my experience with the V730s have been amazing so far.

Would be running 245/40/R18 on a veloster N Thanks

My guess is the answer is no. I have A 2002 Subaru Impreza 2.5rs that I'd like to take out for my first track day. Being a subaru of course it has small head gasket leaks that aren't worth fixing since it requires an engine out, as far as I can tell.

Is this something that gets inspected? I assume yes. Second consideration is I also don't want it to be a risk to others and cause a crash, so if ya'll say it's against etiquette then I won't sign up.

I do autox and it's always passed inspection. So is it ok to run this car? I'd think thr answer is no but would be happily surprised if it somehow is!

Does anyone have experience with these? They don’t show up in the app. How do you connect to them? Do they show up once you are in the area?

Well, financially speaking.

Context; I'm considering an engine package that'll add 40% HP at 40% the price of the car. Obviously at that point, Not only is recouping the money gone, but it's basically a negative return because the market for your particular build is near 0. I've had normal regular ass cars sit for months on fbm/cl trying to sell, i know people who've listed their track car for years. Motivation is mainly competition/TT. I also think it'll be cool to build and drive a car that punches way above it's weight class.

Can i get the perspective of those of you in the deep end?

NOTE: I do NOT have a truck/trailer/driveway, it's just not feasible for the expensive place i live in. So getting a dedicated trailer/truck/track car combo might be the way to go, but it's not feasible for me. Gotta get more money, and stop dumping it into this car hehe. Eventually that's the goal, but that's many years and many life changes away.

Other tidbit: Currently hanging on to all my stock items, but nearing the point where it's becoming a burden (again, small living space). Any regrets throwing all that stuff out? carpet? seats? trim?

I love my alpinestars but the new ones are about 2 sizes smaller... none fit me..

Requirements are external stiching, touchscrreen fingertips and true XL sizing, anyone care to recommend ?

Hi there

I have sold my F20 M135i xDrive, as it wasn't what I was looking for.

I'm looking for a new clubsport/daily vehicle for myself. I'd like to go to some trackdays in Europe with my friends, as I have just been joining them and have been driving their cars. I think it's finally time to get myself a track-car as well.

The plans for the car are basically just track-prepping it for open-pitlane sessions and a couple nordschleife laps during the year (so that means roll bar, cooling, brakes, handling, etc.).

For my budget (about 18'000 Euro) there are some cars that come into my mind:

- Mini Cooper S (F56)
- Mini Cooper JCW (F56)
- Mazda MX-5 ND

If there are any other suggestions, I'm always happy to take a look, but I just can't really set my mind on any of them. I have driven the Mini before, and I did really love the way it drove (even "just" the S).

How's it going fellow enjoyers?

Hope I'm not intruding. I noticed a lot of people here liked mountain racing and rally and wanted to create a space where the Touge community and sim racing fans can clash together and mutually bond over burnt rubber.

All jokes aside, I'm just trying to find like-minded people to kick back and Touge it out with. We recently launched our own Touge servers with a custom car pack that’s truly unique. We’re talking:

• Foxbodys
• E34s
• Screaming E60 V10s
• Evo 9s
• Trailblazers (WTF?)
• Suzuki Cappuccinos (Hayabusa swapped!)

From JDM to EDM to GDM—we’ve got all the domestic markets covered.

Our community isn’t just about racing; we’ve got a bunch of media channels, including:

• Show-your-cars
• Show-your-diecasts
• Show-your-track
• Show-your-food (because we all know Touge enjoyers gotta keep a good diet going)
• Show-your-runs (Touge runs: real or Assetto)
• Show-your-FB-hunts (FB Marketplace hunting sessions daily)

And much more! Everything Touge related in one place!

Hope to see you around brodie. Join the fam if you get the chance—we can battle it out because the practice never stops. I appreciate your time, so swing by and say hello sometime!

We also have a guide channel to help people get started if they’re new. All you need is a PC!

The car is badass and super fast but I’m wondering if it’s too big to track?! I think it would be a fun car to drive on the track or off but wondering if I should stick to my M4 and spend the money on mods.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I recently purchased my first set of "track only" pads and currently am using them for daily driving as well as they are the only set I have. I don't care about the increased dust or noise. They bite hard enough to emergency stop safely even when cold. Is it still a bad idea to run them on the street? Will using them outside their ideal temp range cause excessive wear or anything like that?

Pads are Porterfield R4 (front) and R4-1 (rear)

Hi guys,

I was driving on Zandvoort last week and noticed a strange behaviour.

Closer to the second half of the session (about 8-9 min after start) the car started swinging side to side during hard braking.

I have watched the recordings and noticed that it starts swinging to the right first and then left-right-left until I catch it.

Recently there was a discussion in our local group about measuring tires temperatures and that Zandvoort is having more heavy right turns. So, potentially left tires would heat more.

I also measured the brake discs after my session and remember it was ~380C on the left and ~310-320C on the right. (after the cool down lap and going to the parking)

My brake pads are Ferodo ds2500 and the mu is breaking exactly around these temperatures.

Do you think the uneven brake pads heating may be the reason of this swinging?

Hey guys I was reading a few forums in here and I really never came to a conclusive answer In my head so if someone could hopefully lead me into the right direction that would be super awesome !

So my getting new tires for my 2010 wrx and I plan on running 225/40/18 as that’s what fits the best for me as well as the price range.

I’m wondering what summer tires are the best bang for your buck for overall daily driving!

Any help at all is immensely appreciated

Hey, I just got a 2023 audit r8 Spyder v10. As of right now it’s completely bone stock. I know some people who absolutely rip their supercars on a track and I’m inspired to do the same, but I don’t know where to start. I mean should I do any mods? And is it possible that I can practice before taking it to a track? Precautions I should take? Etc. Thanks!
