Fake. Like the 2:25 at Road America, fake. Like the Mosport 1:27, fake.
No data, No Video, No valid.
I have a spare Traqmate Complete that will find its way into your highly modified cars, to get real lap times, not iPhone or hand timer erratic times.
If you could run 2:25 at RA, 1:27 at Mosport, and 1:16 at Tremblant, your Sebring times should be in the 2:15, and your VIR times in the 2:02, and they are nowhere near.

I expect to run at 2:15 in RS at Sebring this winter if I am on mich, or 2:17 with hoohoos.

Those are great times - seriously.
I think you guys are enjoying Tremblant as much as I hoped you would.
Something just magical about Tremblant for anyone who is thinking about making the trip in the future.
Dare I ask what time Sly posted on the slicks?

Now I am really jealous!
Hit us up and we will set you up :-)
Mont Tremblant update is late because I have no internet at the track and we finally got to the hotel after a massage and dinner. I'm getting tired after 5 straight track days. I caught myself short shifting for no appearant reason.
My best laps from the last 2 sessions today below.
First session I had a flat tire (valve stem) and the second session the car was so weird that I thought I had a flat tire but it did not. The front sway bar had come loose. The only fast laps were the first 3 laps and then the Toyo's lost all grip dramaticaly, maybe that is why they all run R6 and mostly michelin slicks.
The last session were were on a flyer on opening lap, I suspect our fastest lap of the weekend and we got a waving yellow for a car that went off. We cooked the tires and I could not adjust quick enough to the lack of grip to beat Randy. Randy won, Clarke needs to stop telling him how to drive faster.
I'm such a rhythm driver and I did not have enough time and ***** to see what I could do differently in the lesser grip. My brain seemed to be programmed to floor it like I could in the morning (with low tire), where it was no longer possible in the afternoon. Generally, what worked earlier in the day before the flat tire the car would not take in the afternoon.
Anyway, I have to come back here some day to finish the job. Great place and had fun, but I need to get back here to nail the track. An East Coast Mancation that includes Monticello and Lime rock. The Glen needs to be revisited too!
Tomorrow we drive 10 hours to NJMP. Look forward to it, but I am glad just to drive the truck tomorrow. 20 days in a row is rough, the last 5 all track days.
Video's:
2 opening laps 3rd session, after lap 2 I got slower. Probably traffic and overheating the tires and overdriving the car, have not looked:
Lap 1 and 2 were the flyers of the last session but we got black flagged, the 3rd lap was the fast lap of the weekend, looks sloppy, but was even sloppier in the car, really not satisfied with it. I definitely do not have this track down and there are seconds to be found pretty easily:
Difficult track, but glad I posted a 1:48 eventually albeit a bit forced. Good news is all cars are in 1 piece and in the trailer ready to go.

Skipped the last session due to the 8-hour drive home, but had a great time and now have more stories to tell.
On the track, a set of greasy MPSC's forced me stay smoooth and give lots point-bys.
Sebring, here we come.
