Nice video and driving. I think you may benefit from inducing a bit more trailbraking until the mid corner to help rotating the car (overcome the understeer) and then smoothly transition to accelerate even quicker. You may also shift down to 2nd gear on certain corners as well. Congrats on your 1LE  |
It is a beautiful track. The new owners have had it since 2011 (I believe) and the lead instructor was saying they've put ~$20 million into the track
They definitely seem to be doing it right!
Thanks for the tips Glamcem.
I definitely should have down shifted into 2nd in turn 5 at the bottom of the hill. It's hard to tell in the video, but you drop 85 ft of elevation between turn 3 and 5 and then gain it right back coming out of 5 so you need all the drive you can get! Could probably drop to 2nd in 17 before the front straight as well.

I have also considered 2nd gear in turn 17, I will try it the next event. Coming out of 5 for me is a bit slow also. More weight and less torque than you LT1 guys, but more rear gear. |
Thanks, that's good info!
