I love how Mark speaks - very direct and VERY specific with his word choice. Doing it on the fly without pause is not easy but it's second nature when you're speaking from a knowledge base with so much experience.


Great video, thanks guys!

omg I loved the integration of the interior footage projected onto the glass

[triliciousss]

You guys have come a way - from car reviews to pro-driving videos. Keep up the great work!

If all videos were this caliber, I'd say this channel might be more valuable than Top Gear for drivers.

Watching the Veloster closing the gap to the Challenger was satisfying.


Also the McLaren entering the track at 3:35

Love the interior shot on the back window! Perfect way to show what's happening inside the car without cutting away from the lap. Way to go guys, looks like you had a blast and learned a lot too.

The POV from inside playing from the back of the windshield while the car is driving is legendary. Love all of the videos keep up the great work.

Loving the Veloster N
One of the best hot hatches ever made

great instructor. i track awd cars. fwd is a little tricky, lots of trail braking. great to learn on. very little chance of wiping out. pain in the ass controlling tire temps though since the fronts handle acceleration and cornering. i used to run straggered wider fronts on my integra to induce a little entry oversteer.

Love the video, but please guys, "before" on the left, and "after" on the right. It's just so jarring the other way around.

This looks like a lot of fun and a patient instructor too.

Amazing video and information!
Thank you for doing this track day instruction with a professional driver. I’ve been following the Bryan Herta Autosport team and Mark Wilkins is an excellent driver to learn from.
Please make more of these the information is fantastic. It is refreshing to see amateur track drivers learn and become faster and safer on the track!
Well done Straight Pipes!

[ryansauer]

its cool that u can take a bone stock Veloster n to the track without even changing brake pads and tires

[jimmyreinstein]

As someone who is saving up for a Veloster N I love this video even more! Great work guys!

The perfect Sunday dinner material (Poland here) ♥♥♥

Keep racing on the track and off the streets.

Fantastic to see what a difference good instruction can make in terms of lap times. Everyone's so focused on what mods you need to make to your car to go faster, it's so easy to forget what a big factor the driver is.

Driver mods knocked 2+ seconds off Yuri and Jakub's laps, and on a tight track that's ages worth of difference! Awesome video, guys 👍

These are the videos that I wish there were a LOVE button...
