This is my fast lap at Pitt last month. Cup2, rear toe links. Instructor in the car. 981 GT4

1.57.62. Definitely more time on the table but what a fun track.

Got only a couple of clean laps all weekend, this was the best. I lost some time at the chute/T6 as I was being extra cautious behind the GT3, didn't want to be right on him at the apex with nowhere to go and ended up having to lift. Room for improvement but still happy with it.

Thank you! Such a mega track, great flow and tons to learn.

I wish you had some data overlays on that video. I like the way you went through the toe of the boot, around and up the hill. Looked fast, but how fast?? I'm about 1 second behind you for my PB in the mid 2:11s - looking for opportunities...

Do you have any data on how much the camber plates and toe links helped? I know they're popular mods but I'd love to see data from folks who tracked their cars before and after.

I picked up the Solo 2 for $200 off a friend, otherwise I would of got the Solo2 DL for data. I considered getting that along with the smarty cam but the video is potato quality at this point! Defo would like to get proper data logging at some point though, maybe there other other good options outside of Aim.

Feels like there are a few different ways to take that corner, I am hugging very tight and trying to rotate the car with the brakes to get on full throttle as early as possible at the apex. By contrast this guy puts down some very fast laps indeed, you can see he takes a slightly wider line and uses more of the hill whilst turning into the apex later. More distance but higher minimum speed. If you compare side by side he is shifting to 4th a second or so before me, not exactly apples to apples though given a 265 Hoosier has a lot more front end grip than a 245 Cup2. Not sure if he posts on this forum but he puts down consistently good laps, I have learned a few things by watching them.

No data but more camber is 100pc a must if your tracking a lot, much easier on front tires and will improve front end grip. I am also running soft front sway bar. Camber plates is one option, other option is shims/LCA bushings. I went with plates as you just drop them in set to max camber and you will get -3.0, plus they keep caster at stock levels.

I'm running rear toe links so I can get more aggressive camber in the rear. I have read a lot of complaints about the rear being squirrelly under heavy braking etc. and from experience it definitely is. But in stock form it didn't really bother me that much. You can see into T1 under threshold braking I am still getting a bit of shimmy. I see people changing the rear toe links on a street only car which makes no sense IMO, its great out of the box.

Wes that is an absolute monster lap. Way to go, that's just awesome.

Thanks! The car setup is great. Heading to Barber in Nov. Looking forward to seeing what it can do.
