What a fun weekend! Did about 2 1/2 hours of hot lapping. (And made it back for the Monza race!)
Caveats:
The car is not high power, BMW Z4 3.0si, 255HP, in paddle shift "manual" mode. But even at half the speed of the virtual cars I drive, the thrill is exponentially higher.
The video is blurry. For some reason my stinking camera/phone does not focus well as a dash cam.
The track is pretty bumpy in the concrete areas which causes the camera to shake, which obviously does the video no good. But the bumpiness was actually enjoyable in a way. Makes the track feel alive... like realroad!
Session 4 Lap 7 is a pretty good lap with much brighter picture.

Session 5 Lap 3 is a little better lap but has dim picture with late afternoon clouds. (Maybe a GoPro for Christmas?!)

A cluster of "daily drives". Mine is on the left.
