Dude there is some serious aero and grip on that car... Congrats on the new time!

After seeing this video I realize I still need some work in 10 and 15. And maybe a little in 13 as well.

that ferrari was REALLY scary.

Even though we had such little track time, it was a really fun weekend. Great people, and the SS group is by far the nicest group I have ever driven.

Randy keep the good work, you're getting faster an faster, and your car is really fast and show tons of grip and a good set up.

I have been working on 16. Data shows (Peter and I) that if you shift to 3rd in 16 it is slower through 16....at least for us rookies

To late apex on 16 it requires longer distance travelled.......I am not sure what is faster..my fastest laps are early apex and paitence. I am sure I could do it better, but it is a dangerous corner

dunno, i just watched gavin's lap in the gt2rs, he is holding 4th in bishop's, then changes down to 3rd for 15, maintaining revs in 3rd up to 16. peter and yourself short-shift into 5th through bishops? have you tried 4th through there?

I also short shift to 5th into bishops, its easier to keep the car balanced. I'm trying 3rd and 4th thru 15, but I keep 3rd thru 16.

just watched harris video; he also short shifts into 5th in bishops, but comes down 2 gears into 3rd for 15, staying in 3rd for 16. just seems that when car is in 4th through 16, revs are a tad low and the car is slow to gain momentum...i don't know, i've never driven there, just living through your videos and xbox! haha, thanks.

16 is 3rd gear for me in the lowly Carrera S...I would imagine the same for a GT3RS too. I exit 16 at the rumble strips at around 75-78mph when the wheel is straight and 3rd seems about the right gear.

I also don't go way out to the left into the concrete at T16 turn in anymore. My right side tires are usually right on the asphault/concrete line. This is because I am now carrying more speed from the apex at T15 and to move the car way out onto the concrete upsets the cars balance and requires a turn to the left to do this.....less turning the wheel and keeping the car balenced = more speed....just have to be patient at the T16 apex.

Great weekend, not a lot of tracktime with the rain and the usual race black flags (to be fair, one of our sessions also got black flagged after 1 lap w Radical into the wall at 17). But less tracktime meant we could prepare the beers earlier.

I always shortshift to 5th in Bishops, and lately was taking 16 in 4th but not this weekend. Car was down on power in heat and humidity and went back to 3rd in 16.

Eddie/Randy, welcome to Super Solo :-) (can't believe Juan Poro approved Randy)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUGjvEXdNz8 Long, but fun to watch :-)

I drive like I’m on the way to the mall as usual except my car felt weird. Push where it normally does not. Car slower on straight then 3.6. maybe because of bad cat (See 11:45) ?

Juan (White GT3 I'm following most of the session.) drives like he is suicidal as usual.

Erik (On my *** entire session.) tries to bully me into mistakes so I had to put some race craft on Erik. As in blocking and stopping mid corner

Randy is picking up pace, was moving pretty good.

Teo (Grey RS in front) is becoming a force to be reckoned with his cheater headers and Hoosiers.

Hey Erik, It was a pleasure to meet you, and tks for messing up my turn 3 . I got wide looking thru my rearview mirror. LOL

All that Juan wanted was to let it go and drive the s*it of it.

I'll post my video later Today
