Most clubs & instructors have found that less experienced drivers learn faster on "street tires".

In order to carry speed... street tires will force you to be smooth with driver imput and the slightly slower cornering speed is more forgiving, allowing the driver to experiment a bit in trying slightly different lines/braking and turn-in points... without risking off track adventures.

The driver wil know when he has max'ed out on street tires... even with consistent smooth driving... the street tires will begin to get "greasy".

Now the driver is ready to move up to Dot "R" tires... he's learned how to consistantly drive the proper line with smooth imputs... maxamizing the street tire's ability.

You may think this is a step backwards... but believe me, following this proceedure will make for a better driver who continues to learn from a solid foundation.

Best of Luck Paolo, you have come a long way from where you first started posting.

Cya @ the track,

The track maps that were distributed had a very old corner numbering system where the kink just before the bridge was t10 and t 10 was t11. It also had different numbers in the carousel. Not sure why. When the poster referenced t11 he meant currently numbered T10 probably.

The gas should be, depending on the car, progressively on from t5 or t6 until you are flat out at or coming out of t9. Agin, this depends on the car. Kurt M is standing on it all the time, RSR cup may need to manage the throttle differently. I give it a little more at each turn, still too chicken to be flat out until a tick past t9 apex as long as I'm sure the crown in the track won't send me into the tires/rocks/trees.

Did I mention that the Boxster driver is not only a good driver but devilishly handsome as well?

The log book has it registered as stock F class. It doesn't get much more stock than that.

BostonDMD

I couldn't tell how handsome he was.......all I know is that he was fast.....

I didn't realize that you allowed others to drive your car!

+1 I have not driven this track but you appear to take an early apex on several corners

Ahem.. my car is "D Stock" but it has little resemblance to a showroom stock 1978 SC...

Caris looking good!!!!

Gary R.

Hey bud, thanks! Good to see you're still breathing!

mji911

You better get your practice in for the CR at LRP. I'm not accepting any excuses if you don't podium!!

Brian P

Showroom stock? What's that? Is that a new class this year?

Ok, my car isn't quite showroom stock but it's probably a bit closer to it than Paolo's class winning race car. Wasn't that car bumped up a class as a prepared car?

Paolo, here is some advice that I give in my advanced classroom sessions:

Learning A New Track 101 = late apex everything to start, then start GRADUALLY moving apexes earlier until you begin to run out of track out and/or lose exit speed/RPM's....then move back a smidgen.

Here's another tactic:

Use the skinny pedal more or try lavender panties instead of "salmon" next time!

Oh yeah, make sure they are clean in case you have an accident . . . .


Oh Snap!
