How much experience do you have? Are you analyzing data to see where you're gaining/losing time lap after lap? Have you had someone that knows the track really well point out any places your line is giving up time?

about 10 lapping days between ddt/tmp. no datalog to analyze other than rewatching my dashcam videos. not sure if this matters much, but i have the kwv3 set at factory setting, +2 clicks up front

here's my 1:25.01 as per HLT, with a passenger, there are some braking zones where i braked too early or too hard, and exits where accelerate too late, especially near the wall. please feel free to criticize.

Hard to be super analytical without seeing throttle/brake data, too hard to guess by sounds, but a couple things stand out as some possible areas to gain a bit...

Turn 2 - looks like there's a bit more curb you can use to shorten the path a bit on the inside, also sounds like you brake hard, lift and brake hard again, but it could just be the audio making it sound that way.

Turn 3 - tough to tell, but looks like you brake more than needed and could track out a bit more on exit

Turn 12 - looks like you over brake here too.

what do you guys use to datalog? i have a bluetooth obd2 dongle paired up with the HLT. or can i use the oft? how do you even extract and interpret the data?

You should hit me up when you see me. I have a limited number of daq prototypes I designed. Check out a few of my posts.

@n0thing t2 you braked too early and not hard enough. Trail brake into the corner while carrying speed so you're lined up nicely going into t3. You generally seem to be braking too early and not carrying enough speed through corners. Can't see the exact speed but the last corner entry looks slow to me which will really hurt your time.

I use RaceChrono and a OBD bluetooth dongle. RaceChrono has inherent built in support of the OBDLink MX and LX units.

Is it me or the video is bouncy? Or is that you chopping up the turn?

I'll be coming by tmr for the alligator lapping at CTMP. Perhaps I'll see some of you guys then.

I'll be at ctmp today as well.

All of this is news to my ears. Stock frs running 1.23 and full bolt ons running 1.21. Wow. Question. Why is it that there are no official times. I'm not trying to sound like I don't believe you but if you run these times why not run at cscs. 120.7 by tony congrats that's a fast time and hopefully one day we both can be on the track at the same time. And for the rest of the fast na guys keep it up. Would be nice to see more vids like the one above showing 1.22. That's fast for na and the driver should pat himself on the back.

tbh the motivation to compete and deal with CSCS is fairly low, OTA is where it's at but sadly their only event at TMP came and went before I had proper brakes for my car

is that not too low for re71r? i run 36psi hot on this same track (-3.2f/-2.4r), and according to the chalk test, its already running on the edge/triangle mark. wish i have access to pyrometer.
