TRACK DAY DIARIES

Track Day Diaries on YouTube

I track my own cars and show you the real numbers.

I run the Track Day Diaries YouTube channel, teaching what I learn on and around tracking your car. Five years building and tracking a red C8, now a yellow 718 GT4. Real measured numbers, no sponsors.

Buy once, cry once. Every dollar and every mistake, filmed and written down.

I treat the car like a project that ships. Measure first, change one thing at a time, keep the receipts. When something breaks, that goes in the diary too. The channel exists to teach what I learn on and around tracking your own car, so a video or a build sheet can save you a weekend of guesswork or a busted knuckle.
