Stock C8 Z51 Corvette On Track | Buttonwillow 13cw

Driving the 2021 hardtop convertible corvette on the race track. This is in the afternoon when things got warmer and people went home so I had the track to myself. It should do 55s in the morning IF there's no traffic.

Crazy how tame it is, nice neutral steering in the corners, very predictable when it starts losing grip. Awesome machine

Did you have the track alignment for the front camber?

[cho.damian]

1:45 was insane. I wouldve spun out there 100%

I was just tracking my C8 at button willow last weekend. Was down in the low 2:03-5 range but had really bad brake fade into turn 2. Upgrade the fluid and pads prior to the event but did not put it in competitive driving mode, only track mode. My research is saying the brake pedal feel changes in competitive driving mode. Have you tried just track mode with the TC/ESC on?

Also seeing as you owned and track most modern generations of corvette how would you rank on and off road?

Are you recording on a GoPro? This is the cleanest lap recording I’ve seen in a minute.

Nice driving. Shocking how little steering angle is required.

[milliebays]

How do the brive by wire brakes feel at the limit? Dealbreaker?

[derreck]

Very very nice upgrade from the Miata! What's the plan with this one? Isn't the car market supposedly crashing right now Zent?

If you like tracking your C8 you might consider the Speedway Composites Chassis X Strut Brace. It improves lap times considerably and looks great. For top down cruising they have Wind Screens. Plus several products to keep dust and water off the engine and increase cabin storage!

Dude, revisiting this video. What a fluid dance partner (credit to the driver zentrose) it was hypnotic in the nicest way possible. Very cool. Everything looks well translated and progressive in its handling behavior. Crazy Hes going very fast yet in a stable and gentle flow state of under neutral and over steer.

Which group did you go with? I'm looking for groups that allow to be with the top down, I'm too tall to be with a helmet and top closed.

This guy knows how to maximize that car, wow! Looks easy on video but you have to have big you know what to drive this fast! Kudos!

[haydenbattaglia]

Just found this video but I’m curious to know if this was using the track alignment or if you had any other slight modifications that helped it to oversteer at times. I’ve been heavily considering a C8 but worried about its understeer nature on track, many reviewers make it out to be a pretty big issue.

Love the giddu up that thing has- makes 60mph around a turn look slow.

[tonye]

I’ve never driven around a track before this looks both fun and scary

[bradderuiter]

You said below you were in Track Mode, competitive driving mode, but which one, Sport, Race 1 or Race 2? Great car control btw, gonna hit that track on Dec. 17th with SpeedVentures

[uluvc]

Hey how did you get the overlay from garmin isolated?

[iewsemaj]

Good driving. Car looks like a handful at times.

Using that mid-engine layout to commit in places that would terrify me with front-engine placement. Nice!
