Max lateral G was 1.61 @ NCM on take-off slicks. Most of the highest lateral G corners are off camber though, so not an easy apples to apples comparison to other tracks like Barber, which it's highest lateral G corners are all banked/on camber.

Also I forgot to say in the last post: Nice driving!
they were amazing as expected I just couldn't believe the bite and the overall feeling of the brakes even with the OEM tires. I am pretty sure the MRC suspension and the gigantic brake booster (coming from a Miata, S2000, BRZ) has a lot to do with the overall brake feel.

I was going to try the OEM pads then I decided not to do it since brake fade would be very bad at ORP (may not be a case for a faster track though) and I just didn't want to destroy those beautiful pads after 2-3 events when I can get thousands of miles of them on the street.

Also, after running DTC 60's at Barber last month, I decided I'd give the OE Ferodo pads a try, and I'm glad I did- they were amazing. I had brought the hawks just in case I needed to swap them out, but I ran all three days on the stock pads. I was still feeling out the tires in this session, the Camaro can run in the 2:10 range in ideal conditions and no traffic. Also, the PDR speedometer is 5.5% fast as the '18 wheel/tire combo is 5.5% smaller overall diameter. Quick reference: 140mph = 132mph, 100mph = 94.5mph. I'm running with TC/Stability off, rev match off.

Nice vid- tidy driving and looks like a cool bull ring of a track. Try out no-lift shifting next time you're on track- keep gas pinned and car cuts timing. It's a awesome feature.

That looks like a fun tight track! Nice driving. One question, any reason you didn't use the PTM modes? It shows up in the video which of the five modes you're in.

Thanks, the larger 3 mile track is really fun, much faster, lots of different type corners and elevation change.
