So smooth, as always. I'm surprised to see that you take 16, and even 15, in 4th gear.
I only post the smooth ones ;-) 4TH. seems slower, but just doing as I'm told proves me wrong..

HOLY CRAP who knew this ninny driving thing could be such a blast. It adds a whole different aspect to racing. I co-drove the 6 hour enshrouded with Mike I last night. I'm sore as crap and still very tired even after a good 8 hours of sleep. It was still WAY worth it. FIRST IN R7 SEVENTH OVERALL

Nice work ,looks like You need to go flat through bishops and tighten up 17, just my thoughts, dunno if the street car/tires will hold in bishops but bet they will...I know, scary...

Tim... you should enter a couple of those cars in the 12 hour at NJMP in April or 13 hour in Nov at VIR.

Believe it or not, with consistent driving and good pit stops... you'd be look toward an overall win.

Flat through Bishops is doable...my coach did it in my car 1 lap...but said for DE's it is not a huge time saver. I am flat out after T13 and just before Bishops I check up about 25% throttle and smoothly throttle through T14 Bishops. Also my car has zero aero bits and my skill or courage is not there for full throttle through Bishops.

If you go tighter through T17 after the turn in wall...at the 1st bridge.... it is extremely bumpy. The line Peter is useing is much smoother, faster with less chance of unsetteling the car. You'll see during a race cars going tighter but they are just protecting from someone getting under and inside of them.

Peter...your thoughts?
