My main issue is just not holding enough speed through elements. You can really see this in the sweeper before the slalom and even in the slalom and finish vs my co-driver. Many SSC cars were all going 3rd in the first straight away, short shifting. We tried it and we both lost time, so rev limiter it was.
I added a 19mm Perrin front bar and endlinks this year and can't say I totally love it yet. I kinda feel like the stock bar allowed some roll, which allowed the tires to set and then boom, you were hooked and good to go. Also changed from the Yoks to 600's this year too, so that might have something to do with it.
Any other feedback? I was actually 58th out of about 103 in PAX with this run and typically I'm in the upper 1/4. Can't figure it out this season  |
You cooked that sweeper pretty bad. That's a big chunk of time. I also think you could have been way more aggressive in the slalom.
As a theme, I think you brake too late and too hard and it upsets the front of the car. Brake earlier and brake less. If you need to coast a bit, that's okay as long as you use that as an opportunity to position the car to get back on the throttle ASAP.
