Quite true. One of the things I tend to like about the trickier cars is that they teach me to drive within my limits. A ~500 PP car with RH tires doesn't really punish stupid risk-taking as much as I'd like.
Of course, the low-PP combos teach me more about wheel-to-wheel racecraft, which is also good. It just can be a fine line between good close racing and a 10-minute train ride.

I am one of those struggling at Daytona with the Vette. I've only made it through turn 1 without losing it maybe twice out of 8 total laps. It definitely has me scratching my head. Either I have to practice a lot between now and Sunday or just be a spectator the final 2 races of the night lol.

Sorry Jared, I thought you were a random. You caught me with little patience for crap. My apologies.

Question about Trial Mountain... Do the yellow striped areas before the tunnel and after the long uphill straight count as on-track or off track?

They are part of the track so yes you can go on them.

Not sure I should be trying to give advice, so take it for what it's worth
I've always found it faster to stay wide turn in and get straight to the start of the tight left hander, then brake. Try to not do any turning at all while at high speed. You can be vulnerable to an inside pass though.
Another but slower way through is to stay a little lower and brake earlier. It's a decent defensive line. Again trying to brake in a straight line at high speed.
To be honest, if I get through turn one any way I can I'm happy

This drives a lot like the Lotus... Early breaking and very controlled throttle... Not that I did any better but I actually like the Vette much better than the Z... The Z and I just dont get along...
bTW... Im not a good director... I don't mind hosting but the usuals were not available. Forgot to set up the room properly as I was rushing last minute.
perhaps next week we can practice in house @ D1. 👍
i like the combos this week but the Z wants to kill me.

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm going to try it again tomorrow night and see what happens. I'm also going to lower my rear brake bias. It might help. At this point I'm almost willing to try anything.

I did some test laps earlier an found that on the back stretch I was changing the brake balance to help me get slowed down enough for turn 1 then immediately changing it again. I was able to succesfully pull turn 1 under hard throttle. The bus stop is where i think a lot of trouble is going to be. because some will be slower on entry but faster on exit.

New engine? For a head gasket? Why not replace it? Unless you drive a honda, I have to imagine that would be cheaper.
Speaking of blowing head gaskets, anyone up for some drifting/touge tonight? I kinda stalled on getting something together due to life conflicts (*fist shake @ school*). But I want to get something consistent going on fridays. I would like to get a nice little SNAIL drift team going. Or at least meet enough that we can get some good tandems going. Fastfox, DA, DW, whatcha think? I'd also like to sell the idea to some of you guys who aren't really interested in drifting. Come out and give it a try. At the very least, it is good car control practice, so you know what to do when that big motored Vette tries to kill you.

I have the same problem as you Storm, I do not know why but the only circuit that I can not have a decent track is Daytona. Also need to train to try to learn. Tell me what room you'll be the night to train together.
