Make sure to do a cool down lap before heading to the paddock at the end of each session, ideally with speeds that require no use of brakes at all for a lap (or as close to it as possible). That will prevent majority of a heat soak not only to the brakes, but also wheels, hubs, tires and motor. If they still smoke from heat, go for a short drive on an access road trying to use brakes as little as possible and pop the hood open from inside the cabin. This will intro more air flow to the whole area. Upon parking, open the hood fully, to cool them down faster (and help cool down the motor as well). |

Also note his steering: many of the corners flow real well in *combination* and can be taken with the same steering lock. This makes for fewer weight transitions - as less steering (which transfers weight) makes for better balance. The better the balance, the more grip you have |

Yeah I compare/overlay my AIM data to FAST SCCA T1 buddy.
Our MPH and G's are close but I brake many many feet earlier! His car with him in it is ~3200 while I am @ ~3780! |

Pats to Fozzie pls Nicky Bobby and thank you! PS hope you'll manage to fix that half shaft quickly. Not sure but ZL1 might work as those cars have ediff too and likely more beefy units given power levels. But i know zero about fit etc... |

Yeah that's a good way to put it, I think timing, familiarity and anticipation will be playing a key role in this.

You are absolutely correct. You nay also find that your car will prefer a slightly different line, etc. So experimentation also pays good dividents once ya get the basics down to a routine. Have fun!
