Best Track Times in a GT4

2:20 is Solid! NCM is my home track since I live in Nashville. I know it well.
My understanding is the PDK makes a big difference. However, not as fun as manual!

Oh, no doubt. PDK is definitely a few seconds on any track, but still. Your lines on turns that I usually take without using the curbing are eye opening. I can totally flatten those out and brake less with more curbing. Sinkhole took me a year to truly figure out, but even your line in the 2 turns leading to it were smarter than mine. Getting against the right curbing after 17 and then taking 18 "wide" clearly carries more speed.

Thanks! Unfortunately, the MPH in my Vbox is acting up. Sometimes it's way off. Like in turn 16 going to 17, you can get to 100 . Then a quick tap of brakes to get car settled and rotate up through 17.
I got some lessons from Andy Pilgram. He was a HUGE help. I was all over the place before.
I know Im losing time in 15. You can stay flat until you brake for 16, but I haven't built up the courage. Now Im lifting.

16-17 is one of those stretches where you need a wheelbarrow to carry your *****. But once you know the turn-in is right at the little dirt patch, the rest is basically full throttle. Just have to trust the car. I catch a ton of faster cars there.

Haven't really had time to study and digest all the data since last weekend, but I can already tell it's going to be stellar. Obviously, it needs time for the algorithm to learn, but in theory, it should get better every time. GPS was dead on. Garmin doesn't f*ck that kind of thing up.

The Harry's, Track addict, and Vbox are not working great. Sounds like Garmin is the way to go.
Hey, my 19 inch wheels from Apex are arriving monday. Finally, after 2 month wait. What size r7s do you have?
If you are ever want to visit NCM on a Driver's club day, let me know. It's $300 for a visitor. The track is WIDE OPEN, unlimited clean laps. You can track from 9am to 5pm. No run groups just open track. It's awesome!

I almost got the Apex wheels, but needed something sooner than they'd be ready, and found a virtually new set of Forgelines in Classifieds for a steal. And the Forgelines happened to be perfect with my color scheme. R7s are 265/35; 295/30. Will not rub. Requires 9 and 11" and as much camber as you can muster. What size wheels you get?
Where's the schedule for Driver's club days? Are those listed on NCM's website and on MotorsportsReg and stuff?

Your Car looks great! GT4s are badass. With camber plates I'm running
-3 front
-2.3 in back
I've only had the car since Feb 1 and just got camber plates before the video you saw. I like the set up by may add more camber soon.

I think camber plates are next for me. You should be able to fit the 295 on the 10.5 comfortably.
I have Tarrett Cup control arms, so am able to get some decent camber with those. We got about 3 and 2.7 rear.

718 GT4 laptimes @Palmer Motorsports Park
Just came back from Palmer with a local car club called Boston Asian Car Club and broke my PR. With stock suspension settings with PASM turned on running with MPSC my best time was 1:49. After removing the front aero ducts and set the rear wings to maximum attack angle, I also swapped out the MPSC to Nankang AR1 and hit 1:46:90 on April 5th 2021.
For all the track addicts out here looking for too much seat time and very good money, you guys have to check out Boston Asian Car Club. Paid $400 and my seat time are closed to 3 hours.
Cheers!

Any feedback on the AR-1s? How do you compare them to the MPSC2s?
