Just another day at the track... Streets of Willow Springs
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYG_jGxgvCw"]BRZ/FR-S/GT86 SoWS street tire lap record - YouTube[/ame]
Tires were still not quite warmed up for the first half of the lap... had to go wide in the bowl Car can definitely still go faster, but I just need that perfect lap where I hit no traffic AND the tires are at the right temp... Car specs: Tein SRC coilovers Enkei RPF1 17x8 +45 225/45/17 Hankook RS3 Essex AP Racing Sprint big brake kit Carbotech XP12 brake pads Berk Axleback prototype Alignment: -3.0 camber front -2.4 camber rear 1/16" total toe-in front 1/16" total toe-in rear Based on tire wear, we do need a bit more camber... don't have a pyrometer to check temps...

Nice!
We need to move, not being able to track Nov-March sucks. |

The lack of sun kept the surface cold... so the conditions weren't ideal, but I much prefer the cold over a hot summer track day (110F+ temps all day... over 100, even after the track goes cold...). |

Oh, forgot to mention. Any input/feedback on my driving is always welcomed; I'm trying to get faster.
The lap was a bit sloppy, and I think there's another half second or so to be found in the first half (s/f to the bowl) |

wow, -3.0 front camber with only coilovers and crash bolts? can you share with us how much you're lowered on those Teins?
edit: nevermind, i remember you said you had camber plates at the front. which plates are you running? |

@CSG Mike, what video equipment are you using and how do you have it mounted? the view looks perfect and i think it's much better than mounting it on outside of the car.

It's funky, because I have an extra upshift during the chicane; I hit the limiter one of the laps IN the chicane and almost wiped out. Also, I have to upshift while exiting T2, and mid T3 (3rd felt... slow), but the tires have enough grip that I can be rough with the shift and get away with it. I also tap the limiter in 3rd before the bowl with the RC1. Part of the equation is more grip = more cornering speed, and the fact that its a 235/40/17 vs 225/45/17. I was gonna offer you our car to drive but you took off early Thanks for loaning us the igloo mount! |

It's coincidence that you can see well inside the passenger cabin; it was overcast and not as bright as usual outside. |

Sorry for being off topic, but is that a crack in your dash panel?
