Looks like a great track. I would definitely do it in a car. But not a bike, with those walls. The beach is starting to look better and better.

Rick Bay (BRA) · October 07, 2009, 08:59:52 PM

The walls are only on the big straight though...

A DRAGON · October 08, 2009, 05:02:51 AM

Wow!!! What a track. I like that.OH yeah Congrats Rick on the Olympics.

Yeah, definitely Interlagos raceway in Sao Paulo is kind of dangers for the walls. Well to race there we need to be very good, no mistakes like all SSA instructors... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e94vwRqOybE&feature=related

But the way, go ahead and take a look at this track in Rio.

Thanks Jerome.

We brazilians are very proud of it.

But the way did you guys like Jacarepagua Raceway in Rio?
Let's plan for track day there one day?

Adiggity · October 12, 2009, 09:05:32 AM

Those are some sweet tracks for sure.

Glad to see you are enjoying the Kool-Aid!
Seriously. . .
Anytime you are learning, and pushing yourself to achieve more, you will cross a line and make mistakes.
The instructors are not exempt from errors and/or incidents. If you watched Chad's video of the 4 lap Sprint, you see me shoot WAY off line on the back straight. I accidentally found 1st gear and starting the rear tire skipping like a stone over water.
The more seat time, the more we can minimize the mistakes, and minimize their severity.
It should be noted that even when I did that (twice in 4 laps) I didn't not panic, freak out, scream, or say "uh-oh" it was a no big deal. I handled it.
That's been a big change over past years.
I used to scream like a preteen girl.
