Decided to throw the camera in the car here last night. I need to get a wide angle lens going because you really just don't get the sensation of speed with the normal wide setting. Kinda fun watching the car get all twitchy as I chase down some other cars though.
Next thing this car needs is rubber. Actual rubber. 205 wide Azenis just aren't cutting it anymore. I think it's time to move up to 225 wide and 245 wide R compounds.
These vids are of sessions 1 and 3. Forgot to turn on the camera for number 2. The laps where I didn't get held up at all were in the 1:15 range.

I don't think coldrsx meant to offend anyone, it's just that Matt makes every car in front of him look slow!
Nicely done Matt, I'm not used to seeing your car out there so un-sideways. |

Hahaha, nicely constructed sentence... :thumbup:
That doesn't even look like a reasonable attempt at anything resembling english. |

Matt, you take quite a different line through turn 3 compared to everyone else I've watched, what are your thoughts on this?
Here is Ian's line to compare with yours.

I'm guessing you're likely referring to my staying so tight to the corner. I guess part of that is since I've drifted on corners 4 and 5 so much that I keep coming in there like I'm setting myself up for it.
I definitely could take a little more speed through there though. Setting myself up to come over the little hill at turn 4 is important too. I don't brake until after turn 4, so the car is pretty squirrelly through there, so I like to come into it from the outside so I have lots of road to work with as the car gets light and shifts sideways. The car obviously isn't getting airborne, but it's getting light enough that my tires lose traction coming over the top and the car can shift a good 6 or 8 feet sideways. If you watch on a couple of the laps you see me working the wheel a little bit as I come over the crest, that's when the car is lifting up a little. |

| I noticed it at the hairpin too, I figured it's either because you're used to leaving room to get sideways, or the car likes to get sideways on you so you leave a larger safety net. |

i wasnt implying that he is a bad driver, just that he looked slow relatively speaking. Dont worry...i am still slow.
i look forward to the 15th and hope your rx8 can keep up:> |

If you try and start any thing at any event you will be ejected from it and not welcome back ever !
If you want to settle some thing, some other way then beating him on the track . do it some where else were the organizers and the other participants wont be affected by your shit.
Thanks |

Yeah, a bit of both I guess. After the hairpin I like to be way over to the left to be properly setup for the last corner so I can make use of the whole track up there. So I suppose it's a bit of sacrificing some speed on X corner to gain a bit of speed on Y corner. |
