Default Quick Lap Around Shenandoah Circuit

Here's a quick clip of one lap around Shenandoah. I never got out of 3rd in the corners or 4th in the long straights and it was just a lot of fun to drive it.

Yup! That's it.

It's nice to see it on video before going again.

Thanks for sharing.

The Shenandoah is a fun tight drivers circuit. It was a shame that the PCA group did not include the pit straight in on the run configuration. The entry and exit are particularly challenging to get right. It is also really nice to hear your exhaust bouncing off the barriers as you go by high in the revs in 2nd. Thanks for the video.

I never got out of 3rd and 4th. Also, BSR has removed the pit straight as part of configurations all together. You simply can't use it anymore, as they've made 3 pit lanes where that straight used to be. Far right lane is for incoming traffic coming off the course, Center is the hotlane for folks coming in briefly into the pits to re-enter the course with or without instructor and the far left is Pit OUT/ False Grid. They're all three separated by jersey walls.

That's too bad............that quick sharp downhill right hander into the pit straight provided lots of entertainment.

Dude, you really need a wide-angle lens for your camera.....
