One thing I should add - there was no way to correctly line up the feet-cam with the other video. These are two separate feeds, from two separate cameras. I downloaded them and just guessed where they should match up, and that pretty much dictacted where the braking points were. So, if I screwed up the first point, it is highly likely that the video would show early braking everywhere. However, it is just as likely that I was braking even earlier, and I moved the braking points in my favor


I tried the displaced method, but it seemed that reducing the distance, while keeping the same entry speed into 6 would yield a better time through the 5-6 complex. [i.e., less distance at the same speed is faster]. The hard part is getting your car rotated properly on this line to enter 6 without leaving room on the table (either entry or exit). I'm not sure I got it right once all weekend

All good points.

I'm just learnin' and I struggle with rotating prior to T6. I just try to treat 5-6 as one turn meaning if I screw up 5, no way will I nail 6.

It's the lowest cost means to obtain data, so if cost is the primary concern, it's great. The recessed buttons are a little hard to feel with gloves on, and software interface is over done for the functionality (although the higher end Racelogic units use the same software).

I assume that even the higher priced alternatives share this characteristic: you don't just plug it in, have it do all the work, and spit out conclusions. You have to proactively use it as a tool during the actual track time (e.g. deliberately driving alternate lines through a given turn sequence, changing braking points, different tire pressures, etc.). Then off-track, you have take the time to align the data with those input variables. Even then, you don't have a perfect picture because other things such as traffic aren't accounted for. Bottom line, it's an expensive, but not outrageous toy if you don't use it to the fullest, and it's a great beginner's learning tool - but not a no-brainer performance enhancer - if you do. They should call it the LearnersBox instead of the PerformanceBox.

When I was in the green run group, I was taught to apex T5 closer to the inside of the turn, and then take a straight line to the T6 turn-in. That way, I'm WOT from just after turn-in until braking for T6. Ends up being two distinct turns vs. one continuous motion. Maybe that's the novice line, but it still works for me.

I've never had the rotation challenges you guys have mentioned at T6. Maybe it's my AWD pulling me through? Or maybe you're reacting to the visual illusion caused by the fact that you're not approaching the turn straight on from - and parallel to - the far right hand side of the track? Try ignoring the right-hand edge of the asphalt that you're several feet away from, and don't worry about getting parallel to it prior to turn-in. Just focus on the turn-in and imagine that you're already riding an imaginary edge of the track all the way from your T5 apex. (I can tell that the LSR DE is right around the corner, as I'm already planning my strategy for on-track experimentation!!).

Wayne is obviously sleeping with Ryan. Clearly he likes guys who look like Big Bird, and not just smarmy little Spaniards. He also hates how I tear him a new one each time one of his totally uneducated prognostications proves untrue. Hell, by his own admission, he has never even been on a racetrack at speed in his life.

Quite simply, he is a "mee tooer" oxygen thief.

LMAO! I am renewing mine now.

Steve, I'm going to try to make it. Work is the only thing that can stand in my way. I think you can get there with the Boxsters (hell, I need to get one...). After driving Jay's, I'm a believer.

Speaking of skirts, where were you a couple of weeks ago? I thought you were going to bring the RSA so that I would have someone to play with... Instead I had a blast running with John in Noby's car.

I just want to know why Wayne thinks I am the student?

I am the teacher and Dave has yet to ****** the pebble from my hand....

Ed Zachary. Glad I waded through all the kindergarten recess posts to find this one - saved me from typing up the exact same thing.

Veloce Raptor

LMAO! True....but it's only because I fear catching something if I even come close to touching your hand.

I just read Sean's comments--he is pretty much spot-on. the T5 debate has 2 valid sides IMO. The key is not whether you apex 5 or not. The key is allowing the car to rotate properly so it is more or less straight before turn-in for 6.
