For reference, I rank the Advance group as follows: (*This is my personal reference and not some kind of de Facto standard.) A+ Squad - the one or two people that are running Pro Times. Untouchable and they maybe only go out 2 or 3 sessions the entire day. A Squad - these are the guys, maybe 5-10 who are clearly faster than everyone else in the group. Some race, others are just quick AF B Squad - the guys who are a couple of seconds off the pace of the A squad. They just go to have fun and aren't really goal oriented. They're like the gate keepers of the A group. C Squad - These are the guys off the pace. Either because they are in a small-ish car like a Miata, a vintage car with outdated suspension and low power, or simply new to the Advanced group and just trying to get things figured out. D Squad - These guys don't last long. We usually go to the organizer to mark them to be bumped back down to Intermediate. These guys are the ones who cause "Trains", or their car always has a mechanical issue at every event. Guys that end up with two wheels in the dirt often, or have very low awareness and they miss point byes. You can see an example of poor awareness in my last NJMP Lightning video on my YouTube channel. I was approaching the bridge and coming up so fast on a Lotus he completely missed the opportunity for a wave by and I had to throw the car inside of him heading into turn 5. So back to my original point, had I stayed with the R7, I would have tooling around with the B-Squad or "Gate Keepers". |
