It was difficult to get around much more quickly than that with all the traffic. There were also only three places where we could pass, and we could only pass if the car being passed indicated that it was ok to do so. Phil Wicks is more of a driving school than a racing school, so there was no all out racing with trading of paint which might have made it more exciting for you to watch. I thought it was cool just to be out there on that track, even at 80% of capability, so I thought I'd share the video.
As for the speed, many of the Cooper S's reached around 120 on the back straight, and around 100 on the front straight. |
