Great vids!

Peter, camera mount fixes coming (I sent what you guys asked for) and all you and Randy need are the four extra CAN channel logging option Grady has. We can make it so!

Glad the clip-on CAN pickup worked well. No cutting wires!

I'll bring a few of these systems, as well as what Eddie is using, to David Murry, if people are interested in adding these great tools...

Will check into comparisons between session segments, too.

That would be great, I'm sure people will take it. It's a great plus, and Peter has been extremely helpful with all questions I had setting up my solo.

Thank you !

I have vbox in RS, but not in gt3. Only got 2 runs in RS before RS broke again. Will post those 2 videos when get home later this week.
Sly knocked another second off, down to 2:21.xx in gt3.

Apparently GT3RS's breaking also happens at every event.

Then he drove me home.
Mike, that's the part of instructing that might keep me paying for my track events even after I qualify to teach. Of course, some of your ex-students were fantastic drivers.

Clarke, you are not helping your sales case here. That thing breaks every event.

Uh oh, I might be back behind Sly again with my 2.21.84. Nice driving.

Peter, I think it's probably due to the slightly more aggressive lock from the Guard LSD, as opposed to the Cup version (more progressive). I don't have near the power you do, but notice that when it locks up, you have to be quick to catch the mid and exit corner oversteer. I softened my rear bar by 1 hole and it made a noticeable difference.

Sebring seems to beat the cars down. Glad it's not my home track. I don't see why you guys like to run so many laps there.

Sly seems like she will be dominating there before long.

Some people need to be relegated to having restrictors for DE, they have no business in 400 hp cars. Like the guy in the 500 hp radical that put us in the wall at the PBOC event at Road Atlanta. Was on year old slicks with 500 hp and 1800 lbs having not been on track in over a year with only a few total events and decides to punch it out of turn 7 on the out lap..... We were lucky he didn't make it to turn 12. I hope he does not fix that car. You can't hear a thing over the communicator with the engine in your ear. Too dangerous for any instructor to have to get in.

Peter, thank you for everything. Why do we need the four extra CAN channels? everything works right? Orbit will figure out mounts and i look forward to DM day!

Could be, if it stays this loose unther throttle, I will have to try it or drive around it like I tried the last session, 4th out of T17 etc.

You're using the 4-CAN channels that the unit comes with for throttle, brake, steering and RPM.

If you want gear, temps, pressure and anything more than what you have, you need to do what Grady did and buy the additional 1 or 4 channel CAN upgrade.

Use the suction cup mounts and plastic clamp that came with unit!
