You mean when the Fiat waits for the Aero Beetles pack to have more fun?

Nice to be sandwiched in between 500HP quatro punto cero and 500HP cheater Fiat, both on crazy glue tires from about the 7th. minute till the 12th. minute

I love all the beatles blocking the Fiat. Thanks everyone!!
Fiat has a valved exhaust that is controlled by a dumb ECU. Under 6,000 rpm the valves are closed at medium to no throttle input, under 3200 rpm they stay closed at any throttle input. It gives the audible feedback of an off/on switch, even though you're progressively applying gas on exit. Bigger problem is that when valves open, the car has a jump on power that forces the driver to lift due to too much power.

The problem is fixed with an exhaust ecu sold by a german company (Capristo), where the valves can stay fully open at all RPM, and throttle application becomes more progressive, it makes the car a little faster as there is no need for throttle corrections at most turns.

After looking a bit closer to my Traqmate data, TBL shows a nice revelation. Every lap had braking done prior to Bishop, downforce will fix that.

I will look at tbl tomorrow. In one session I had 2:184. On toyo's with 50 less hp and all drag down the straight.....

I can fix 2 secs with hooters and 50hp. Never mind if I go on a diet.

First video


Session starts out with me following Eddie

Eddie takes pass.....I chicken out.....Corvette blocks me.....Corvette cooks brakes

Juan and "Catch it Clarke" come by me on their cheater tires

Then start looking in rear view mirror, Grady is on my ***. we goto war. Note the slight off road pass into Bishops, and Grady follows

rady takes pass into 17, I forget to block and takes the lead

Yes I lose this one, my victory video to follow

For any non PFC believers, these are teh pads I took off the car tonight. Pedal feels the same as day one

BTW- Eddie had a camera pointing to the rear of his car. That should be fun to watch... Eddie?
