Didn't Trakcar do it in 5 hours?

Use less braking and more accelerator.

Bypass or over the top?

I've only ran bypass once at the 1st private day so certainly wouldn't mind giving it another go.

f1crazydriver is the only one allowed to go CW. He is an eye sore, you might get to see him twice per lap!

I have only ran the bypass for one event awhile back, not in the RS. All I remember is you get the pucker factor if you choose the wrong line. Should be fun!! Be at the track around 5:30 tomorrow dropping trailer. Ready for Casa Ramos around 6:45. Mooty, if u need help setting up let me know.

Let's say whomever is up for dinner Wed night just meet at C. Ramos 630-645... I'll be in front with my gray C7 Z06 -- sticking out like a sore thumb as I certainly will be for the ensuing several days -- hahahaha (please don't be cruel...)

Safe line there is slightly left of middle line- lift(or brake tap if u must) at crest than back on throttle smoothly and get as close to rt side berm so u won't run out of room exiting out rt side berm. Mike
