Default 48hrs @ Sebring - 2 Laps from my Seat!

New video from this weekend! New GT6S track record! (1 sec faster than my best lap last year). I see where I can get more time... ! (but suggestions are welcomed - be kind ).

Sorry but Chase Cam was pointing the wrong way so data bars and figures are inverted. Enjoy!

What is wrong with the code I posted above?

Looks and sounds like your squeezing everything out of your car, awesome drive lines and minimal time off the accelerator. I love the dual camera action....

Yep, nice driving.

The sound from the video is surprisingly good.

Thanks guys. There is still some time left on it but I'm squeezing it real hard. I wish I had arrived earlier than Saturday so I could have had time to practice.

I sent the camera system to Chase over winter for a checkup and to replace the microphone plug and it made a world of a difference. I use a stereo mic mounted inside the cabin by the front bulkhead.

Haven't had time to look at the MoTeC data yet but it will be interesting to look at the squiggly lines.

Juan-

REALLY nice. Aside from maybe a little bit more speed in 17, there's really not much to say about a 2:25 in a 2 liter car!!!

Thanks Peter! Less brake and/or a later turn in on 17. I found a nice groove on 17 which did not upset the chassis to much which left me with a possibility to go faster through there.

You know about maintaining momentum.....

I'm not sure what your speed is there it just looks slow compared to some of your other corners and I agree with Dave that the turn-in could be later and at a better angle for a more aggressive, earlier throttle, inside line. What do I know though...you're the one doing a 2:25 in a 2 Liter car....

Yeah, we're talking about maybe 1' or 2' later, get more rotation done before the bridge, thus earlier to throttle with front tires straighter.
