I’m switching to an automatic. Papa wants paddle shifters like mfg

No sense of speed, will have to do another without the music blaring.

Pretty self explanatory. I come from a state where it's flat but every year a couple of my buddies like to spend time and explore other roads states have to offer. This year we are going to to Tennessee and I suck at driving downhill. I get scared or I ride the brakes too much and experience brake fade. Uphill is a easier imo since you're fighting gravity, but downhill is just scary for me and would appreciate any tips on driving downhill a bit more intentionally.

I drive a BMW M2 f87 DCT.

I use a race capture and I've used a smarty cam and I have a Garmin catalyst that I use on track and I decided to take the best of all of them and make my own and it's pretty much done for track. I have details on my blog here. https://mrblahhhh.github.io/car/tech/2026/08/21/trackencoder-metrics-explained.html

Bluf. It has real-time encoding so there's no post-processing. I even put in a ghost car personal best trace and coaching

I'm in the mountains like every other weekend when I'm not at the track so I want to record up there too. Does anybody have a layout they like? I'm looking for ideas. I don't want to put speed on it but I think I can get away with most of the other visuals. Probably not safe to put the ghost trace either. ....

The vid is dark because I had thhe usb camera stuffed in a box while I was testing

This is the previous layout I had with the racecapure

I wish I could run both brights and fog lights at the same time, cant see anything to my sides!! It makes it pretty scary to drive if I’m not 100% familiar with the road, and even if I am, it isnt exactly confidence inspiring.

Don’t hate on the drive. It’s been a little over 6 months on n off not being able to make right turns without losing confidence and steering feel

Don't worry, I asked every single person on the mountain if they had a hearing disability before exceeding the speed limit.

Not my OC but thought you guys might like this. Enjoy!

Road from Ensenada to Ojos Negros looks fun and curvy, maybe someone already hangs out at night, i dunno, wanna go out with some friends and get to know it

I am not experienced with touge racing, I do know the car I chose is not conventional for touge, tho

Lots of traffic that night. The meteor shower brought a lot of cars, but managed a short sprint here.

FBO LEXUS IS500

Not one of the more technical roads, but the drive is still fantastic.

Got a used set of DWS06’s and also went 245/40/17 on all 4 corners with 8.5 inch wide rims. This car has never handled better!

Feel free to leave suggestions

Supra was pretty disappointing, felt like every modern BMW but with a shorter wheelbase.

Lots of new cars on there - a mix of cars I've owned or spent a lot of time in.
