You can use the rumble strips at turn in for ricochet.
Russell, you're right, I need video help.

Greg, thanks, but (a) I am not braking on the far left; I don't start braking until I am about mid track or so; (b) you may be right, but I really don't think I am losing that much time by lifting the ~10% that I am; (c) I have tried that, and it really unsettled the car, and is unnecessary IMO; they are a lot more useful & relevant when running clockwise.

G, thanks & you're right. Seems M3's work well there, too! As for Little Bend, you're right, but I was having a hard time making that work last weekend for some reason, not sure why. Normally, I take the Patrick Long line there which works great in my car. And yeah, the 911's rev limiter was pretty funny.

I'm trying but life/work keeps getting in the way. I started it for the first time in about a month this weekend and all I heard was the loud ticking of the bone dry lifters!!!! Luckily it went away after a couple of minutes.

I bet I've forgotten how to drive...
