WSIR Big Willow: 718 GT4 PDK - 1:27.83 - 10/13/23
Tires: Goodyear SC3R’s
Mods: exhaust, 19” Apex wheels, track alignment, toe links/camber plates, aero bits
2nd time at Big Willow. They repaved the first half of the track earlier in the summer and it definitely helped with grip, especially turn 2. Can't wait for them to finish paving the rest.

GT4 in OC those are fabulous runs at all three tracks ! Considering that Chris Winkler ( SRT Test Engineer and accomplished racer ) set a production car record of 1:33.94 in a 2010 Viper ACR at Laguna Seca and you virtually ran the same time , is incredible. It really shows the potential of the Goodyear SuperCar 3Rs and it further reinforces my view that I need to use my USAA Member discount to get a set. Solid runs and you should be quite pleased and I am sure I am not the only one who appreciates you also posting your videos of the runs. I am stuck in the Midwest , snow on the ground, so you are now my Semi-Official Hero for the Winter, ha!

***In response to USCTrojanGT3. Still new to the forums and didn't quote your Buttonwillow reply correctly.
Thanks! I only got 3 sessions in that day but got to chase Will from WRTeknica around which was a good way to improve my lines a little. Granted, he was gone after two corners but that little bit helped!
My GT4RS arrives any day now, so I am "going to keep it stock" for as long as possible and work on driver mod for 2024. My goal is also to sub 1:50 in the GT4RS. See you out there!

Supposedly the rest will be repaved sometime this summer. Really started feeling confident through T8 this last time I went but I am still leaving some on the table in both T1 and T9. Sonoma is also getting repaved very soon which I am pumped for. Sonoma is my favorite track at this point and some fresh pavement will be great there.

Perfect conditions and not much traffic. The GT4 is so much fun, if I could just put together a good lap darn thing would be in the low 19s or possibly dip into the 18s in these conditions...aarrg uuggh damn it! Obviously need to work on consistency and also need to figure out how to avoid the rear end wiggling under hard braking. I thought that was dialed out w/ the tires/alignment but still there. I think I may be too aggressive when getting on brakes, might have to brake earlier but w/ less aggression to avoid upsetting the rear end? That being said my goal was to dip into 19s so I'm freakin happy!

Thanks, wishing you the same cool weather for the SCCA Time Trials!
Yeah, I tend to slam on the brakes...can get away with in some corners but bites in others ![banghead](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/banghead.gif)
Appreciate the advice. Still have tomorrow to work on improving though not sure the weather would ever be as perfect as today's lol and yes, I'm guilty of getting excited when the Garmin shows green!

Nice driving. Some friendly advice based on the video (ignoring any setup changes). Looks like you started to overdrive right as you saw the PB dipping. I'd probably roll a little less speed in 5 to get on full throttle earlier (sounds like you had very delayed throttle). And I'd try clean up the line through 15-16...looks like you're turning in from the middle of the track. If you have to breathe off the throttle to get it pointed in, I think it'll pay dividends. 18s are definitely in the cards

First outside group to drive Hedge Hollow Full Course, a new Private Track in MO, it was very dirty which I am sure will improve as it gets more groups on track. I need to push my braking zones as way too much coasting on corner entry.

Are those 245/40 instead of 245/35?
Do you have any pics of this set up with REs?
