No offense but I won't believe that one until I see it. I do not believe you can exit those esses faster than you enter them. Unless you are in a miata.

I've seen plenty of data from fast cars with fast drivers in them, none of them are exiting the esses faster than they enter them. I still want to see it.

Me too. Clarke, you need one wheel on the track to qualify.

I go in at about 128mph and come out at the top at 115mph or so running 2:06 laps..

Generally, it FEELS faster at the top than at the bottom, but in reality isn't.

hmmm... maybe. I did 2:05 on RA1 in RS in June when it was in the 90's. Did a 2:02 at David Murray in September on R6 in the GT3. Can't remember if the vbox was working or not at that event. will look thru my stuff and see if I can find the data card.

I hope that was only for the race teams and not the general public .... it's still freaking ridiculous

Sounds like just the race teams. We took in plenty of snacks and water bottles in my wifes purse. Plus the shuttle transport that circle the outside of the track required scan out and scan back in so they wouldnt have known if we bought from track or not. They were really nice and the event planning was top notch. I havent been to any other f1 events but my expectations are very high now.

Got update from Mark at MVP today ... so far they have not heard back from COTA after the busy F1 weekend. Have other sources working on COTA DE events - stay tune

Only as potential attendee for some event in 2013. I definitely want to go drive there.

Other things cooking in the background however I'll post in a different thread if it comes to fruition.
