eddie - car sounds fantastic and in very good health, and your video with passenger was fantastic to watch, especially when traffic opened up, and autoquest car passed you, was that amy driving?

funny also to see mclaren brakes on fire?

peter's car needs mods - way too soft at the moment.

that guy drove me crazy... Thanks for the props
No Autoquest was Gavin, very good driver, on a 3.9 stripped and re-geared. Usually on slicks or R6's.
Car is super fast.

Weird. Still tons of oversteer. Identical settings to 3.8 + max wing but cant put the power down right. *** wag on exit in T1 and T17, never really did that before. Sebring has been so changeable from session to session I'm not sure any of it makes sense. If its still loose at Winterfest i will soften the rear bar.

See you at Winterfest, I will go to COTA later, firt have to finish off Sebring with avid Murry and 48 hours.

Mc laren brakes on fire??

LSD, some brake cooling, PFC pads and side muffler M&M delete, otherwise stock. Seems to go OK, just drove it home, nice and comfy.

Yes November was really hard to drive the car. Like I said the tire combo is far from ideal, but having fresh tires everywhere, and playing with the tire pressures, helped a lot. Now at least I can keep the car going in the right direction. I told you that November was really hard to drive under those conditions. Not that I didn't do mistakes, here, but a lot cleaner drive.

Tks for the input

It's fun to see Eddie trying to preserve tires, he feels like this:

Classic going in too hot. Hit brakes too hard mid turn. Back goes out. Corner worker flailing arms. Luckily he released brakes but a bit too quick and car broke back left too much to save.

Had lengthy discussion about similar issues earlier in day. Wasn't getting it.

Then he drove me home.
