Here's a cool video from DAErik with Randy driving his car!

AWESOME video! Interesting to hear that he worked with Tesla on Track Mode. Also, he was quite confident that he could reel in that BRZ... but he could not...didnt quite have the accel.

Haha yea yesterday was the 86 Cup so there were quite a few of those cars, luckily his fastest time of the day in another car (mine) was indeed faster than the BRZ

LOL, check out that huge goofy grin on him the whole time. Lucky to be along for the ride.

<edit> Misread, I thought this was when he was driving yours.

that BRZ was mighty quick!

Unfortunately, he'd already used up most of the charge before Randy took a turn at the wheel.

Good to hear an expert settle the staggered tire setup (wider rears): bad for understeer. It needs a square setup for the track!

Awesome video, Erik looked so nervous rofl but I would be too if I was in his seat. Randy drove the car effortlessly, shows you he's a true pro. For driving at 30% charge on stock pads, the car did very well.

I could feel my blood pressure going up just watching it on my phone. I'll have to watch it on the 75" TV tonight.

It hadn't been "settled" long ago?

“Smooth is fast”!

If you haven't read the Motortrend article/watched the video that goes with it, i'd definitely suggest checking it out!

Ever since this article, Randy has been a bit of a legend in the Model 3 community - though he wasn't too shabby before then either.

I wonder how much the "traditional line" can be changed with all the dynamics that the electric drivetrain and traction control might overcome.

Regardless, it's is very impressive how a professional driver just drives as if they're on a typical surface street with normal curves and turns. He doesn't even change his stress or facial perspective because he's just so cool about it.

Wow so cool.
