    That blue and yellow car is a, you guessed it, Lanos.

    PS, looks like this is going to be my home track until the F1 circuit opens up. Bumps, sweepers and a big straight. Perfect for a car with 104 hp!

    Man, that is some shenanigans right there.. glad those guys are driving slow cars or someone might get hurt.

    Looks like you'll be having plenty of fun out there. Best of luck.

    That's pretty nice, exept for the part where pretty much every car there passes you.

    It's all about having fun!

    Yah, I'm thinking the quality of competition might not be too high. That said, those cars aren't as slow as you think. The guy whose car took the video was running 1:11.6. A different video from a pro driving a Nissan GTR was running 1:04 ish at the same track with no traffic.

    Different classes running at the same time. The Daewoo and Accents were in the 1.5L class. The Tiburons and other fast stuff were in the 2.0L class.

    Don't worry though, I'll dominate them all when I finish the car.

    Taebaek Racing Park. For about another month, it's the only opperational race track in Korea. I'm gonna do a track day in the next couple weeks, I hope.

    I'm way excited to give it a try. I think bravery on the brakes will play a much bigger part on Taebaek than on my previous home track, Reno-Fernley.

    Great video. I need to get a mount for my Go-Pro so I can mount it behind me.

    I would suggest you find a way to brace that seat better. Seriously.

    Looks like a lot of fun. Some of those guys are taking some questionable lines, but the racing looks clean, and thats good.

    Relatively fast stuff.

    BTW, I'm pretty sure you'd be laughing even more if you could read the Korean narration. Let's just say it includes a lot of evil laughter and adult language.
