Great looking laps. That must have been really fun. Who’s event was that.

Might I humbly suggest there is likely time found in 9. Staying further right at the entrance would allow you to increase the radius significantly and carry more speed throughout (and it’s a fairly long corner). You might also explore how far out you can track at the exit. Although the track goes off camber, the asphalt out there is pretty sticky and generally yields more speed when combined with a wider entry.

You have a much better line through 2 than the Viper (which IS pretty incredible) but you know this because you have to lift between 2 and 3 not to rear-end him. The acceleration of the 720 is really impressive.

I'm going to take you up on that and try turn 9 with that line. I am used to driving downforce formula cars which are better inside, but I like the idea of trying a new line and comparing times, especially since this car is so heavy. Another excuse to get out there. And I agree the 720s is very impressive.

This was at a Hooked on Driving event. The next day (which will be posted in a day or 2) was a Speed District event. This time of year is so nice because the track has fewer entries and cooler weather. Had a great time.
