IMHO;

You are going into turn 4 too tight. Stay outside as long as possible then swing in to the later apex in 4. That will set you up for a faster run thru 5 & 6 giving you more speed down the back straight. Similar to going into 9A. Stay to the outside going into 9A and bring the car in the middle of the track into 9A. Then move to the curb in 9B. That will give you more speed around 9 and set you up better for 10.

Thanks guys for the hints.
Here's another, my first hot lap on my last run session, with another moment. This time in 7. :lol:
Went in too hot and too much brake.

First time back on the track since my incident so I wasn't particularly quick.

Here's one, keep in mind both vids are from different days lol (sept 1 and 2), they still synced up quite nicely.

Guess I was consistent? :roll:

I see A LOT of unused race track in these videos. More track time and getting a GOOD instructor will help a lot.

Better than using too much track. :P

I'm sure most people are just out to have fun and not ball up their car.

Awright, now we're starting to see Videos. :D :D

Ming, cool vid. I like the Data overlay. Do you mind if I ask what you use to gather, and overlay the data?

And..

Marc, I love the split screen! Also,do you mind if I ask what software you use to edit that?
I use Roxio Media Creator 10 to edit videos, but would love to overlay 2 vids.

Everybody else, Post some Videos!!!

Same setup I use for slaloms. It's an IPod Touch with an external GPS sensor running at 5Hz (Dual XGPS-150A) running Harry's LapTimer Pro. The app does all the video/data logging and renders the video.

That's why no7 was so slow (or all of the rest)... car grips like hell but I always have that risk vs reward ratio in the back of my mind since she's so heavy.

Adobe Premier Pro, through custom effect tweaking (crop+zoom for 1080p bumper footage)

BTW dude, your steering ratio scared me at first! :lol: I then realized it was your ratio and not super-understeer. :wink:

Oh Marc, you're still underestimating what that car is capable of and will let you get away with.
