    Really stoked to be bringing this series back in a new way because i'm tired of this super cheap S2000 being a paperweight in the garage so let's GET IT DONE! Today's video brings the story back to you on where we left off last year. We've got a new goal; get this car ready for GridLife Time Attack. Are you as excited as I am? I hope so...drop a comment to show your support! NEW EPISODES EVERY 2 WEEKS

    It’s been said before I’m sure, but you really do yourself a favor by going with a square setup. Easier to balance the suspension setup around the same wheel/tire size, and you can rotate the tires so they last longer. Pay attention to what rubber your competitors are running and ask them what they think and when you’re ready, order some 200-rated grippers.

      Sure thing!
      1. I love the fact that you aren’t giving up when the times get tough.
      2. I liked the Alex’s Classroom section. The “nerd math” is what will really teach people what they need/want to know in order to grow as enthusiasts (myself included because I know far less than I want to 🥲)
      3. I like that you and your crew aren’t afraid to just try something knowing that it may not work.
      If I think of anything else I’ll add to this comment at a later date 😉

    Road circuits weren’t really phased out because of safety or the speed of the cars its because nobody built stands out in the woods so half the race wouldn’t be watched thats why half of hockenheimring is gone and nurburgring has the gp-strecke course cant sell tickets to a race nobody can watch
