Evo X and Eclipse at Interlagos, Brazil

Hi,

I have gone to a TrackDay event at Interlagos, Sao Paulo, Brazil (the same track used by the F-1). It is stock, but I have played with EcuFlash a little (a mix of Gunzo 91, Gunzo 93, with less aggressive timing). Tires were stock, and I didnt have time to change camber, toe and so on.

I am used to take trackdays with my Eclipses (2008 GT, 1995 GST, 1995 GSX) and this is, by far, the best car I ever drove. I am in love with it.

Most of the videos were recoreded with a GoPro HD Motorsports.



First battery Evo X - Internal Cam

With street tires, less power, no race suspension, no track setup, ASC all turned on, I have beaten my own Eclipse 4G time (laptime - 2:03), without forcing the Evo to its limits (laptime - 2:02). Simply an incredible car.



Evo X - External Cam

With ASC turned off, I had more oversteering fun an a slighly better lap time. 2:01



Raimunda and Tião - The First Date

This is a short video with my wife's car (Eclipse 4G - Raimunda) and mine (Evo X - Tiao) as a couple .



Eclipse 4G almost crashing

My wife losing control and almost crashing. Oil at the track.


The only problem with the Evo is related to its fueling. When just above 1/2 tank, after left turns, I ve got some serious hesitation, probably due to lack of fuel. That was really annoying and I have lost some batteries due to this.

Bellow are some more pictures:
