Thnx for the videos..

Hey!

Second time on the track today and my fastest lap was 1'53.54

I did 5 sessions of 30 minutes and had to play a little bit with tire pressure to get a good felling with the car. Sweet spot was 34psi (front) 39psi (rear).

I run on the Bridgestone RFT, stock pads but have high temperature brake fluid and stainless steel brake lines on 4 corners.

Here is the video of the hot lap:

The corkscrew! Very nice.

Laguna Seca!

The track looks so familiar! I do Real Racing Sim there all the time! Heh!

Nice job!

Good job, much improved from the last set of videos!! I am going to have to make the trek to Laguna someday, cool track.

Wow that was your first tome on the track? very nice!
It looked like you were taking good lines and had good speed, did you have any practice on gran turismo or anything to lean the track?

Did you use Sport + or Sport mode? i noticed the instructor asked you if you want to turn and traction control off but you said no.

And how did you get ///M Timer and G force display? I have the tech package too.

You will see that I almost ran out of gas. I did 8mpg on the track!

Yes I used the M Laptimer, pretty handy even though my goal for my first track day was not too compete with the timer (I did 1.58.52).

On a nutshell, the car is amazing but need an upgrade on tires (I have RFT Bridgestones summer tires) and better brake pads and brake fluid.

More soon...

Very nice laps. I'm sure you were sweating and thinking to yourself why as I did the first time I went out. Great fun.

I've done a lot of go karting in Europe and, of course, Forza on Xbox

I will be back on the track on Monday, I can't wait!
