Ok...watching the vid's and looking at Bishops....like Viper Bob said you all are cutting Bishops too tight. A GT3RS and Ferrari Scud should be accellerating through Bishops....breath off a little throttle before entery...just gentle breath, don't upset the car and accell thru Bishops. My lowly CarreraS exits Bishops at 116 on a good run but I'm mostly exiting Bishops at 113. I accell all the way through Bishops...no ground effects or wing and Rennlists Offical Hated Tire...Toyo R888.

Here is my 2:28 lap with my instructor Chris Hall in the car with me. I was on seriously worn out R888's. If you can make out the speedo yu will see a tic over 110 and climbing thru Bishops. Pretty OK lap but I messed up my entry into T17 and did not get close to the turn in wall but it did not hurt me much.

I brake before Bishop and still feather through 1st apex and try flooring it through second. Maybe I need to try that.
I have not really looked at Trackmate speed. Speedo say 120 before braking I think.
We can all go faster through Bishop; Well at least once, the issue is stopping the car for 15 without bouncing over the curb track out 15..

I was doing between 116-118 at bishops last time. I even saw the speedo reading 121 once.
I speed up through the first apex and feather the throttle right before the second apex.

TrakCar, feather (I call it breath off) a little throttle right before turn into Bishops and gently add throttle thru Bishops until it is floored in the middle of Bishops. You have enough brake to slow up some before turn in T15

I can't figure how to post the vids of me on my you tube channel so they come up on this forum.
