VIR test day 04.24.02
First time at VIR. Wow, what a great facility and beautiful track. Very challenging, with 17 turns over 3.24 miles, with lots of elevation change.
Racers Edge rented the track for 3 Formula Mazda's and 3 Spec Racers to test.
There is a section of track called the climbing esses, culminating in a sweeping left hander followed by a hairpin (Oak Tree). Check this out. It's twenty six seconds leading up to an interesting ending.
Turn up your volume!! It's no fun w/o sound.
[ The Usual Caveats: Although I have recently re-rendered this streaming video in a multi-bitrate format (so that there is a 56K stream and RealPlayer will adjust based upon your connection), it really needs a broadband connection for any decent quality.
You will need RealPlayer. Don't try it behind a firewall. I haven't tried it with AOL but since AOL is junk, it probably will be a problem (just tried it; forget it - launches AOL Media Player, which AOL says supports Real Media, but not on my machine!).
Please let me know what you think - tcirillo@optonline.net. ].
