Well done.

seanseidman

agree, good description
some people question using all the track in 5B as the track falls away out wide
what do you think Matt?

And while we're at it, I have always thought it necessary to balance throttle over crest in corner 2
looking for Seb and Matt!

Being in a low-hp street car I'm not nearly as fast as these guys, but I'm fast enough through T4 (taken flat) that the car wants to go all the way left into 5B--I don't really notice the camber change there as I'm trying really hard to be patient so I don't screw up 5c--those exit curbs are wicked . I like his line through T5 and pretty much everywhere else though I don't notice him hitting the hump at T2's first apex.....and that grippy black pave he often speaks about is where you wanna be in the wet

As always, will defer to Matt and Seb for all things Mosport

Corner 5 is a really tough corner to master.
Youre flat out, big brake, going over a big hump, turn your head to the right. All this in a few seconds, and you have to watch your exit cause you can lost your rear end. Its hard.


Im very surprised, but i have almost 4k view in my little mosport run back in 2016.


I was able to get my time down to low 1:27 in my last club race event in 2017.
I will aim for a 1:26 this year.

Constant throttle. When the car is hooked nicely, you go flat out. The important thing is to aim your exit while youre up the hill. And clip the black pavement top of 2 on the left

Seb, who holds the GTB1 record at Mosport with a 1:261?

Paseb

It was spencer ***(gtb1 fastest driver) with a 1:28:0 in 2015 until aeron povoledo jumped into enduro race and did a 1:26:1
Well known pro racer and home track for him.

Beating this time is quite impossible at my level. 😞

ProCoach

Umm, no.

I don't believe that. It is not impossible and you can do it, if everything is right.

Seb I think you can do a 1:26.xx no problem.

Re. 5b depending on the car and the speed you carry in through 5a, sometimes it`s optimal to nibble the outside curbing at 5b entry to buy every inch possible to get the car rotated prior to 5b apex. The sooner you can open the hands and get back to throttle, the more speed you can create to launch up the back straight. This is easily worth a few meters more distance travelled in setup between 5a and 5b.

IMHO it`s best to treat 5a/5b as one arc with a decreasing radius at the end. Very similar in feel to Oak Tree at VIR.

seanseidman

Makes sense, I've always thrown 5a away in favor of B, launch to long back-straight . I like your one arc description.
