Nice to meet you Glen, had a blast at Eagles Canyon.
My best lap that I saw( they clipped me for getting lap times, she wasn't supposed to give them out) was a 2:22. I was on street tires(cheapo Maxxis 300 treadwear) with no brake ducts. Did have my Carbotech pads on the car. Class of the field was LG Motorsports ZR1 with a 1:59 lap. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1...mp;l=c16e3348e5 Will add videos soon. Video of my final run, could not catch the Lambo, but he didnt pull much on me if any. http://youtu.be/YaWKqlQabZI This post has been edited by FASTFATBOY: Jun 11 2012, 02:36 AM |

Look ahead, way ahead. Look at the exit of the corner before you turn in. Your brain will plot a course if it knows where you are going. You are getting surprised and correcting multiple times per corner. Smooth out your steering inputs - a turn should be one motion into the apex, one motion out. Your tires are nice and talkative - use this to your advantage. You should hear a squeal that starts soft and build gradually to your maximimum cornering load, then tapers off gradually as you track out. Screeches from the tires indicate a mistake. Use all the track |

Use all the track Thanks Alan for the pointers, new tracks tend to intimidate me especially ones like that where alot of corners and brake zones are "hidden". This was the first time I was back on street tires after being on the NT-05's, hard to "de-tune" the brain to slow down for the tires, I was all over the place. I catch myself correcting my turn in point a lot, I am working on it. |
