Some of you were asking at the May 15th Autocross for me to share video from the camera mounted on my Cayenne's roof.
That video, plus some other clips (and pics) are located at the FaceBook Page for Dead Pets Racing;

The camera does a great job with wind noise!

Great video.

how much tire wear did you get? Last (and only) time I ax my Cayenne I think I used about half the tread up in a single day.

When I ran our BMW X5 around the autocross track, it didn't use much tire. Maybe 10%?? Unfortunately, all 10% came from the outer edge of the front tires which went from nearly new to nearly bald :banghead: The insides looked great :?

Yeah, the high altitude view makes it look a LOT smoother than I really was (check out the BWRP qualifying video for un-smooth).

As for tires, well the fronts were down below the wear bars when I started, so I planned to replace them after the event.
Driving home very carefully that evening, there were chunks flying off the left front, exposing cord!
I may not be in the same league as Chuck, but I do try to get the most out of my tires! :roflmao:

Paul, you can "Gorilla Glue" over those missing chunks and run them again. It works... :wink:
