Yas, another ED Delivery Thread

rakusak · 09-19-2017, 12:10 PM

Thrilled to be here sharing my experience as I officially join the family this coming Friday at the Welt. It's been a long time coming and as many of you know, I'll be getting a 2018 Yas Marina F80, Comp, Exec., CCB, 6MT.

I'll try my best to flood this thread with images as those speak volumes and have been helpful for me when living vicariously through the ED experience of others.

I kept myself busy as I gear up for the trip and make some custom embroidered 'M' Whisky bottles with a local distillery, for family I'll visit during my ED trip.

It's not the real blue but dayyum YAS looks pretty sweet in those pics. Love the CCB's as well. Big congrats.

Yup, the same one! I have totally lucked out with the weather. Every day has been great. The drive to The Ring was rain, but got to the track with sunshine and dry laps

What did you use to record? (I noticed the speed info in the corner.) I had two go-pro's set up. Thanks to the sunroof, I mounted one from the glass on the inside, to get the cabin view + sport display (power +torque screen).

One thing I would do different next time is have one facing back. Though I planned to do that, I figured it wouldn't be interesting... but pulling away from nearly every thing behind me, on a straight way was something to behold... this this has so much low end torque
