SS 1LE at Sebring VS Audi R8 GT V10
Went to Sebring for the 1st time, sick track, 3.7 miles, 17 turns
Took me 5 sessions to get the track down, very difficult but rewarding track. This session I was running with a R8 V10GT and a C7 Z51. Had a blast, especially after I passed them I was in the advanced class with full blown race cars, they were the only cars that passed me https://youtu.be/N1-oTnJTin4 |

Nice to see you had a good run. Which group did you run with? NASA/Chin? It's unusual to see cars in the Advanced group running 2:40 laps at Sebring. Most are 'in the teens'. My PB is a 2:28 on OEM everything in my SS 1LE. Putting everything together at Sebring is always a challenge, but so rewarding when you manage it. Keep coming down!

Hi guys good points, I was running in the advanced group with race cars, mixed in, as practice for the races, that wkend I was running with NASA, last weekend My car is 100% stock except, I had 1.6deg negative camber put in the front to stop the extreme under steer, I had with the stock street alignment. My times were pretty slow, due to two reasons, #1 it was my first time at Sebring, its a big 3.7 mile, 17 turn, complicated track. I am still learning the tracks lines #2 I was running on the Original stock tires with 2017 date codes, with 15,000 miles on them, 4 track days and a 1,000 heat cycles, they are shot, I could not give it much gas, or the rear would snap out. My new tires did not arrive, before I left for the track, Friday eve from Boca. But Im glad I went, I now know the track and with new tires I can concentrate on going faster. Even at my times, I was faster then almost all Mustangs and Camaros. I am going back on March 26th with new tires, if all works out with the weather. |

Nice driving. If ya can add telemetry to your vid. My friend was there recently with Nasa and his C5 race car and another one for a Trans Am race. Fresh tires will be the ticket. Also proper alignment to actually max the contact patch (about 2.6F 1.6R plus zero F toe and tiny R toe in work well for me handling and wear wise). Have fun! Cheers! |

Just putting 1.6 negative camber in front and 1.5neg in rear made a huge difference. I drive my car on the streets so I did not want to wear out my tires, with so much neg camber, while driving on the streets I do 1:28s at PBIR with fresh tires, I know its going to make a big difference. Also after looking at my video, I am taking the wrong lines through turns 1 and 17, that alone can make up several seconds. those are the 2 hardest turns i Have seen, and I have been on 12 Tracks |

Not surprised you see extra time in T1 and T17. Both are long, high speed and high commitment corners. I dont doubt you'll shave off good deal of time next time. Cheers! |

Turn 1 is always a pucker for me...between trying to squeeze up to the wall and that moment where I wonder if I have carried too much speed and will push into the dirt. I agree with TC about the camber...I run -2.3F, -1.5R with a very slight toe in the rear and drive mine a fair amount to/from events. I only had one incident of inside wear...that was due to a Orlando - VIR roadtrip + VIR weekend with a detour to Boone, NC.

I suspect with 1.6F the outside shoulder will wear our pretty quickly from track duty and way before insides. Especially if someone pushes the car. So, pick your poison In addition, low F camber will also minimize contact patch, so performance will surely be impacted in a negative fashion. Just my 2 cents... |

I guess you guys are running camber plates, I heard very hard to get over 2deg neg camber, without them What tire pressures do you run hot on the track? I run 37lbs F 38-39lbs R As per the performance manual Just Curious |
