The track looks a lot tighter than when you see it on TV. I've got new respect for the prototype drivers going through the tight sections.

Thanks for posting.

It says Race on the bottom, which is the loosest mode iirc

Also, props, you ate everyone up

Good point, I did not notice!

Also, to be fair, the loosest mode is 5s press, which disables both Traction and Stability. A single press in Track is Competitive (also a double press in Sport mode), where TCS is off, and Stabilitrack is in Competitive mode.

Lots of option in this car. I feel I need a match maker to figure out where I want to start on track with this platform (Less than 2 weeks now!). I'm plenty experienced on track, having logged a 7:52 Nurburgring lap time in a little 365hp BMW. But I'm new to this chassis. I think I'll start in Sport with a double press going to competitive mode. Then after a few laps I'll go Track --> PTM Race, and as soon as I got a good feel for the chassis and the grip of the SC3s I'll go Track --> 5s push. Don't want Traction Control of Stabilitrack to hamper me, or develop bad habits. which make me dependent on electronics.

Hey I will be heading to that track someday with my ZL1. What club/how did you get on track? Cost and whatnot? I was going to join the SCCA and they seem to go there a few times a year. Not to race, just to get on track and try the car out.

I’ve been at 10 or so tracks over the years, this is the most difficult

Several turns you really need balls

Turn 1. Totally blind

Bishops bend flat out, I lift for a second, but with Rs I will not lift

Turn 17, blind and like driving in a bumpy parking lot

Challenging
But I love it

In track race
Active is still minimally on

If you hold down button, for few seconds it shuts all off

If you did 7:52 Nurburgring
You will love this car, except for minor under steer, that I will dial out, it’s an amazing car
