boring and uneventful race video ever.

Not to mention I was 4-5 seconds off my faster times.

At least it was still fun

that is one of the most engaging and enticing titles LOL cool video!

 

Maybe it's just me, but it looks like you were only pushing the car to 8/10ths most of the time--were you unsure of the car/setup for some reason? The lower speed corners in particular look like you were intentionally underdriving a bit.

You're right, though. Still looks like fun.

 

well if you were dressed as the full stig you might of won the race. lol get it because of the white helmet.....

 

Three issues:

1) Keeping my nose clean. This was the first provisional race in the FFRC.

2) We changed the pads from used PF97s to new XP12's right before qualifying. The PF97's had gotten pretty worn and also cracked a rotor. During qualifying I had a serious issue with right front lock up since the XP12s have a LOT more initial bite. I still managed a 1:50:xx but had a few serious moments. So during the first part of the race I was braking like a wimp, and actually slowing down way too much to early for t1 and t11. BTW, changing the Rotors on this car is a serious PIA since it involves removing the bearings and all.

3) Tires - since this was a provisional and a non-points race we had our old RA-1s on. You can bet the stickers will be on for the March 25th race. Good news is the old tires were great drift tires.

 

lol, at least I won my class.

 

I race about 2 seconds slower than Qualifying times...still working on that.

 

BTW: We had 2 guys CRASH-OUT of the Rookie school race...just nuts.

IMHO: Rookies should just take it easy and get used to W2W for the 1st year

At least that is how I did it, and won Rookie of the Year...why?

I didn't crash myself, nor did I crash anybody else....WIN!!!!

 

exactly
