One thing I will add guys, time, attacks, and road course sessions and racing are all very different. Or hill climbs for example. The power we produce especially out here in the states on these cars is straight line street stuff usually for fun and everyone has a good time with it. You accelerate for 10 or 15 seconds and then you slow down and do it again maybe. On a race track it’s completely different. Running that type of power level will limit everything and push your engine very hard lap after lap or even sometimes in a time attack. You can basically find the sweet spot of the car and set up mapping that will maximize efficiency for that period of time. Some guys are running their big power map on the track and you have issues for sure. It’s also not so safe because it’s just repeated hits of high torque and high temp. Just something to think about even if you call her down.

While I love this thread for getting the most from the TTS on track, I read a very good reminder today someplace: It's not the arrow, it's the Indian. (Apologies if that offends somebody!) I'm going to really look at coaching again this year. I subscribe to Ross Bently's "Speed Secrets" stuff, and read his SubStack, but I'm going to go back and look at his articles and courses again this Winter. His series on focus training and drills is really excellent!
