Point taken on 1. Makes good sense. Supports more speed for the run up to three and it's a long corner.
I feel so ridiculously slow in 3. Are you saying I am too gentle into 3 or I am too abrupt and be more gentle? I am thinking the former?
Keep the car more right into 5? Even though I think there is another 5-8 mph in 4? My point there is 4 is longer no? I guess from a time perspective it could be shorter I guess. I am guessing you're saying make the radius bigger and carry more speed through 5 instead of throwing it away like I do?
How about the Carousel itself? Too shallow? I do like to give myself that extra margin of error on the outside. Going quick sometimes you need all the track and if you're already out there you can drop wheels and grip goes away. Grass and dirt will do that
!
9 any thoughts? Feels to me like I am ripping through 9 and 10 pretty well.
Straight is fun and easy. Car makes good power. Saw 151 on the GPS data. That was the quickest. Almost every lap north of 145. Need to have the courage to go deeper before I go to the brakes. Tough for me rolling up there like that and waiting to put on the brakes.
What do you think Bob, 2 seconds left in this car in current configuration? That's what I am thinking. Maybe I am driving closer to the limit than I think but it cerrtainly doesn't feel like it to me.
Thanks for your help. Very much appreciated as always!!
