Roebling Road Track Day Video

A few laps from my PDR yesterday at Roebling Road.

First time at the track up there and I really enjoyed it. Had a friend in the car with me.

I love RR! I haven't been there in what seems like forever!

I have to been to many tracks, and Roebling is my favorite. You were doing good for this being your first time. The only advice I can give you is that you can carry more speed going into turn 9. Coming out of 7 and 8 you had a ton of speed, but you bled too much off going into 9. I try to be going into 9 at least 95 to 100. You will probably take at least a second off of your lap time. A fast lap at Roebling is 1:16/1:17. The fastest I have gone is 1:20. A guy in a GT350R 1:16's all day long. I believe Urban Knight did a 1:18 in his ZLE.

Thanks for the advice. Ill do some homework before I go back for sure.

Seems like the car and the track were made for each other. It was really comfortable there for me for sure.

You can also brake much deeper into turn 1. Extend the braking zone all the way to mid-between 1 and 2 with lighter braking. You'll increase the average speed through the sector.

Totally agree..I was figuring that out at the end of the day.

I generally brake sooner and easier just to be mindful of the car but I think the next time I go back Ill brake at the 4 and extend the braking zone deeper into 1.

Also like G61LE said I can carry more speed onto the front stretch as well.

I ran about 40 laps total and was running nice consistent times at the end of the day like in the video above. Ive got more in it for sure.
