That sounds good with me. I didn't have a bunch of time at Sebring as a student like places like VIR and Summit Point Main...I have no data on Sebring as well so every little bit of info I can get helps.

For all intents & purposes, T2 does not exist.
I'll go back and look at video to see what you guys are talking about.

Nice lap...giving that 996 Turbo a fit! Good lines but you go way on the inside at the bridge at turn 17 where I'm more in the middle of the bridge and not as tight. I do this because there are a lot more bumps on the side and I'm trying to widen my arc and not pinch the car. Your car may work better there than mine so not sure myself.

Do you turn in less at "apex" or go deeper before apexing in order to run wider at the bridge?

Inside makes it shorter and I'm not sure that minimum speed is any lower. But I think Mike means go a bit wider, rotate the car more for a straighter shot out of the corner. I'm somewhere in between. All about not hitting the outside wall right before the bridge witch is much closer now and go for full gas once you are past the big bumps

After in go under bridge basically almost the middle part under the bridge....I'm slowly going from around 25% throttle modulation to full throttle and I'm thinking of tracking out. I'm probably more like Trakcars Lin and at least 2 car widths off the so called apex to,the right after the bridge.

Ill try to edit a video tomorrow of T17 for me. I've tried a few different T17 lines but the one Chris Hall taught me work,the best for me and my car.

Now I'd to say that if you watch guys run in the 12hr Sebring race they are running the more T17 inside line but they are protection there position. Of you catch qualifying you will see they move it out some like I'm trying to explain.

Velocity Raptor can probably explain T17 than me anyway...Dave?

There are 400 different lines through 17, which is what makes Sebring such a challenging track. IMO, the goal is to pick one where you can get the majority of your rotation done before going under the bridge...so that after passing under the bridge, you can begin slowly unwinding the steering wheel.

Which Race Logic system do you use and where did you get it?

Vbox is really nice. Probably the best out there. If I didn't like my Racekeeper system so much I would probably switch.

I never even looked at the manual yet. So simple start car, drive, take out the sd card when you come in. Done.

Pretty much like Race Keeper. But I guess V Box brake graph is a lot nicer to see pedal pressure. What else is different?

No pedal, no pedal. Got it.
See everything focus on nothing.
I sure focus on nothing (I can't tell any specific points on track.) but I don't think I see everything lol. I've sat in one of those classes to teach peripheral vision. Pretty cool.

Apparently I always drive 9.75/10th LOL.
