The track got quite greasy so I couldn't beat my time after the second session.
I'm still super wary in turns 1 and 4 since I've had a few heart-in-throat moments in the wet there recently. I'm still building up the courage to carry more speed into 1 and to get back on the power earlier out of 4. I'm only taking about 85-90 into 1, where I think 90-95 is doable even on these tires. Given that I'm going 128mph into the braking zone, everything happens faster than it did NA. Go figure.
According to @ CSG Mike, the RE71Rs I have sitting in the shed should yield a 3 to 3.5 second faster lap (~1:58?). I guess we'll find out if that's true in a few weeks!
For reference, that's a 987 Cayman S in front of me. He was probably 1 to 1.5 seconds faster around a lap on stickier rubber. Nice to be able to hang with a Porsche.
I'll be at RMP again on Aug 3rd, and at Area 27 on Aug 23rd. |
New personal best is always fun. Nice. Given you are 128 on the front straight when are you shifting Into 6th? For me when I need 6th it's end of the straight so I just hold top of 5th into T1.
