Bob,
When you go to race you should expect damaging the trans. , engine, rear end, everything possible due to severe condition All time during RACING !
This could cost you more than wreck your body panel in corners!!
Hope you get my point.

Hadi, I don't get your point. I have been racing the same trans , engine, rear for years with no damage. Thats why you build a RACE CAR. Race cars are built to handle the stress racing puts on the car. A street car which this video is showing IS NOT A RACE!!! Why is it so hard to understand this. Consumables are used in racing. I have to replace brakes, tires change oil. I do not rebuild an engine after every race. This conversation regarding this video really is starting to surprise me. Here are the facts , it is not a race these are street cars at a track event (HPDE) in Europe with VERY loose rules. Is it fun to watch? yes, i enjoy the video and audio. I thank whomever posted it for posting. I am NOT being critical of anyone here. I am justing posting facts about the event that concern me. I have been racing in SCCA, NASA, COMSCC, NCCC for over fifteen years. I instruct high performance driving clinics. I am not making this stuff up. My suggestion is that if you have never done it then don't make comments like you know what you are talking about.

I wore a bomb defusal suit when I did my HPDE, just in case.

When I get a track car, it's gonna have a smoke-screen generator, oil slick squirters, and machine guns.

Thanks for posting the videos.

I've never done a track day, mostly drag racing, which is lots of fun and relatively easy compared to a road race track.
Honestly, it would scare the sh*t out of me to try to drive that fast with other cars out there.
I did notice that the driver wasn't using the gearbox very well, and was that some bad syncros I heard clicking? or was it just me?

Mods, I opened the thread but don't know how to close it.

I think it's served it's useful life.

Thanks
