Wait, so I'm actually pretty decent?
Wasn't the orange FRS running in intermediate / rookie group? He was always first in line and I never caught him. I moved up from intermediate because I passed like 3-4 cars and realized I was sandbagging the rookies so I knocked myself up to advanced.
No sure what personal weight I'd give the coilovers, splitter and diffuser. That's still insanely fast for a FRS with no power mods. Wonder what tires he was running.
Oh I know the PSS's are holding me back - I keep looking at the telemetry and shaving off areas where it was strictly my line or unwillingness to floor it but there's only so much. With something like say RE-71Rs, Turns 2, 3, 6 thru 8, 11 and especially 14 should be MUCH quicker. I'd say with the same balls, at least 3-4 seconds faster.
I'm still learning though, so no need for stickier tires. Just need to make my lines consistent, not toast my clutch as much, tighten up the braking zones and make them consistent.
I was chasing a black M3 on the second last session of the day, that was fun. He was likely running 1:40 to 1:41.3.
