Damn...uber fun laps you posted! Nice driving
How are the G3Rs holding up for ya? How many days/sessions per set? Thanks!

Tires are looking very good after 12 x 30 minute sessions. Some say they will probably heat cycle out after about 15. I was only 3 seconds faster at ECR with them vs some other tracks where I was 4. But ECR is a very new a still green track with not much traction, or maybe it's a sign of them dropping off. I have 2 more sets ready and waiting for me to finish these off. Also did you notice I did that fast lap with everything off, first time trying it.

This isn't my best time here but it's the only one with video, this was the first event of the season for me and was great to finally get back out.

Wow! Superb wear, id say. 3 seconds is still huge (green track or not). Yep i had noticed you switched the mode.
How often to you rotate them? Once per day, or more often? Thx and congrats on great driving and pace!

Well still... congrats on finally finding some track time to knock off the cobwebs

Track = NCM Motorsports Park (grand full)
Elapsed Time =2.17.62s
Virtual Best = 2:17.59s
Camaro Model = 2SS 1LE
Date = June 2020, Chin TrackDays, 2nd event with the Camaro
Tires = OEM SC3s, almost tread-less
Mods = Raybesto 45/43
Weather = 90+ degs, sunny, no wind, and humid

Haven't been to NCM since 2017 and this was only my 4th time there with 3 different cars. Anyways, pretty disappointed to not get into <:16 territory, but given the miserable weather, lack of seat time, and the fact I only ran half the sessions I suppose it's not too bad. The car just didn't seem to want to make power at the upper end of 3rd and 4th gear, quite a different experience compared to the F80 M3 of old. Ran a :19 on the 8th lap of the weekend, but was only able to shave another 2 sec overall. The lack of camber seemed to hurt as you can hear the front tires begging for mercy and I wish I would have tried 2nd gear coming out of 6 due to the lack of power in the upper gears. This lap probably would have been a :16 if it wasn't for the traffic which made me slow up on 5 and go off line on 6-7. Sub :15 should be achievable in the spring/fall. Oh well, I'll save some excuses for the next trackday .


2nd video is just some good ole Camaro fun. His car is on Hoosiers/camber plates, but we still had a hoot going back and forth. The Camaro presence at this event was excellent, ZLE's and SS1LEs in full force.

Nice! Considering how sensitive NCM is to heat, a 16-17 that is about all you could have asked for.

Car looks pretty damn hooked up, yeah you overwhelm the front tires in T2, but it looks to take sinkhole pretty well. I found -2.8-3.0 about perfect for wear up front, and -1.7-1.8 in the rear.

As for 2nd gear in T6, I've tried it there and in T2, I found I was faster rolling 3rd, plus if you go to 2nd at T6, you end up short shifting right at T7 to 3rd.

Also, I know this is a debated topic @ NCM.... I really try and steer clear of the bigger FIA curbing (T6/12/15/16). T12 especially, I've tried it both ways and I have found the car to be much more consistent overall and I can stay on power more consistently by not smashing T12 curbing.

Great driving though, can't wait to see more as you acclimate to the SS 1LE.

Meanwhile, I'm acclimating to my S54 powered e46 race car... first race endurance race is @ Road Atlanta next month with WRL, then sprint race with Grid Life GLTC @ Mid Ohio in early August. I'll be racing both series on a 250whp detune (made 340whp on max power!), ran 39.2 on Mid O club 2 weeks ago on the 250whp detune map. Car is a blast!

Provoste, I appreciate the feedback!

I think I will try and get the alignment to -3.0 (from -2.5) next time out. I used to not hit the curbing nearly as much as I did this event, but I kept doing it for some reason! T12 was one I used to avoid hitting since it upset the M3 so much, but with the Camaro being so stable I wasn't sure if it was actually faster to aggressively roll over it. T15 I was just straightening up for the brake zone, but even the other guy in the Camaro preferred to stay more right and off that one. T2 was another area where I felt slow coming out of, that corner feels brutal at times, due to the car just wanting to plow thru the apex every time (probably my least favorite turn at NCM). Also, I believe ya on T6 w/2nd gear, I knew it would throw off the 3rd gear shift so I never bothered with it. Looking back at the rev range in that corner (and Andy's video) I was just wondering if it would have been better on this particular day, oh well. Same goes for the curbing at T6, I thought maybe it would help rotate the car a bit. With limited experience there and no one fast to chase around it was hard for me to figure out the best ways around the track.

Rudy and I were talking about your pace in the E46 at Mid-Ohio, he is quite jealous! Data overlay was pretty darn close between your laps, but you were carrying more speed in a few spots if I remember right. I'm always trying to give him a hard time about his M3. Maybe we'll make it up there for GL

Thanks again!

Now Luan just posted on FB that he totalled his car too. Glad he is OK, but damn i really need to quit seeing these posts. I'm sure he will update us here soon.
