Howdy, I finally took the time to make a one lap video with no identifiers of myself or other drivers.
My lap time was 2:31, in the simulator I can get a 2:07 in the same car so I left a lot out on the track. In the sim there is no break fade and on track I could get 2 or 3 really hard breaking zones before I’d start to experience fade.
My fastest lap on the day was a 2:19 mostly due to the break fade. I have good video of it but the audio is just wind, and the only laps I did with the GoPro on the rear of my car for good sound were pretty casual laps. So I took a casual lap and paired it with the audio.
I’m going back in September for my last outing of the year most likely, then likely working on better breaks and cooling system as I could only get about 5 laps full out before I had heat soak issues and needed to pull into the cold pit to let the car cool off.
Fantastic track, quite technical. I put about 150 laps in the simulator before I went out and I’m glad I did. While there is pretty much nothing to hit, a few off camber turns and a few late apex turns would have thrown me into the weeds otherwise.
Hey that’s awesome! Hope he finds his way into a racing team and fulfills his dreams!
And yeah I suggested you test the Miata first because I’d believe there’s a big difference going from a Vette to a Miata in terms of power haha
Oh for sure, I’ll keep the Vette to daily. The MX-5 would be a track only toy. What I missed most was cornering which the Vette lacked in.
