how about some of your sebring videos to get us in the mood. I love watching onboard videos. It really helps me figuring tracks and lines.


I never mind some extra tricks. Any pointers on my line would be nice!


i will start with

Seb - thanks for posting! Somewhat painful for me to watch as I was taken out by one of the slower GTB3 drivers in lap 10 at turn 10 in Sprint 1. You see me limping the car back as you come around in lap 11.

This is some very nice driving!! I am no expert on Sebring, but you might want to wait a bit more with the downshift into T17 until you pass the wall on the right and maybe try heel-toe downshifts. In general, I would recommend you slow down a bit as I will be in your mirrors with my extra hp this year.

Great vids Seb and nice driving. Here is some spb action from last year. This was my first spec boxster event. I was so bummed my tranny went on race 2. Can't wait for this year!

944 lap traffic got quite interesting here at the 23:40 mark

I don't have any Sebring film of my own, but here's a good one filmed 20 years before I raced there.

Don't take this the wrong way, but in the 2nd video, at :14 to :28, that tire heating swerving looked like a disaster waiting to happen.
I can't believe orange car was doing that with you at his right side.

Just the other day, I saw a video of crash their Mustang into the wall when doing the tire swerve warm up.

In 2nd video, what happened at 25:00 ?
Couldn't get car in gear.

Thanks for sharing the videos. Great action, particularly in the 2nd video. I was really enjoying the close racing. Despite all the pressure, Mr. Gomez did not make any mistakes that would let you get by and he was pretty good at driving a wide car.

Since you asked...IMHO, it appears that, on more than one lap, you are turning in slightly early at T15 which causes you to ride the top of the big rumbles at track out and affects your rhythm and ability to get to the apex at T16. Not sure what is going on behind you, but, if you don't have to protect the the turn-in at T16, you may want to swinging slightly to the left to give yourself a wider arc as there are more than a few laps where it does not appear that you are getting down to the apex rumble.

And, as Frank 993 C4S mentioned, you may want to try a 5-4 downshift in the braking zone before the wall at T17, trail brake into the turn and just past the wall you get an instant where you are not cranking on the wheel too much where you can do your 4-3 downshift.

Both of these things are very minor and there are laps when you appear to be hitting the right marks. And since I don't know what is going on in your mirrors, I hesitate to be too critical and sound like some PITAKIA (Pain In The *** Know It All) . You are obviously doing a great job based on your results.

Good luck for continued success,
Mike

Really enjoyed running in the HSR Classic 12 last December, highlights from my car:-


Looking forward to racing at Winterfest starting with the six hour enduro this Wednesday. Radical SR3 #738 if anyone is attending, always good to chat.

Seb, I think your T15-T16 is fine. Looked at 12:00 in on Part 2 of the Enduro.

Here's mine from a few years ago. Car's slow in the straights, but quick in the corner. FLM911, this is the positioning I was talking about for T1.

If you've never been to Sebring before, this is a nice introduction to learning the track. FF to about 4:25.

This is a great video. Madison's T15-16 and, most importantly, T17, is RIGHT on.
