Hey Guys,

With the up coming Summit Point race I has hoping for some constructive criticism to try and make me a little faster. Best lap at the Glen race earlier this year was a 2:22.(fastest of SP1 that weekend but still a lot on the table) THANK YOU in advance!!

Car details:
84 944 SP1
Last dynoed at 131whp
2,600lb
Toyo RR tires
KONI shocks

Watkins Glen- Start watching at 1 Minute

Pocono - Start watching at 2:45

use more curbs, especially at the Glen

unstick the car, particularly into the corners. you look a little too planted...what's the old saying, "if the car is on rails you're not going fast enough". I'm not sure how that pertains to a 944 specifically, having never driven one (i.e. trail braking, rotation into the corner, etc)

stop using those silly tight corners at Pocono, those NASCAR boys are going much faster just using the oval.

also I see the SP1 track record at WGI at 2:21:3, so you're only a second off. yes that's a hard second to achieve, but you're in the ballpark.

also, that's a really wobbly gearshift. is that normal for a 944?

RE WGI. Use a more shallow entry at the Bus Stop and take more of the first curb. Try getting inside earlier @ 5 to use available banking. Try leaving a car width to the right on the entry to 6. Use tar seam as reference. Try leaving more room on right at entry to 9. Not using curb on exit of 10.

Just hire VR. I went from 2:22:7 to 2:18:4. And there was at least 1 second on the table(I wasn't driving my car and it was my 1st race in 8 months).
