I get the same thing after 9, where I have to keep the car really straight until I get to the left edge of the track and then gradually bring it back to the right side for T10. This is with PS2's and in 3rd gear. The suspension really unloads over the hill and for some reason it takes a little while for the back end to settle again. Maybe I'm taking the wrong line thru 9?

4th, I do that for both my M3 and GT3, like John said. I am too lazy to shift to 3rd. Similar to how I never use 2nd for T11T12, I like to stick it in 3rd and coast my way ard.

plus you dont want me to lose money on deals. Do you really think I have such healthy margins even though I sell close to 200 a year.

Yeah, I remember. Glad I could do it. I am not sure if I am instructing that day yet. I have yet to check my May calendar, but I know I am in town that week, so it is possible. I will PM you and let you know if I am instructing that day.
ALso, you are the one that timed me too, right? lol. I need to get a laptimer to see what the "real" number is. Now I am curious...see what you started? hah. Tim

I checked my calendar and found that May 16 is a Tuesday. I doubt I will go. However, if I get the itch, I may just do it. I will let you know if I do go, via PM. Tim
