I knew that the 4200R was a little on the slippery side so I wanted to offer something this week that you could drive hard and work on your racing lines rather than how to keep the car on the track.I like this car.I was able to push it very hard at the Nurburgring,
No problem, and thanks for picking a car that I can actually keep on the track rather than the walls and grass or backwards.
At Laguna Seca I might be able to knock another second off, I am having some issues with some of the corners. I am thinking of changing the brake balance to a lower number to see if that helps, it feels like I am either braking to late or to early. Nice lap times, 👍 it seems i am not to far behind at Laguna Seca.
, not a huge surprise since you beat me at GVE last week. Should be another close contest between us this week.
At GVE I have experience with that track so it was a little easier for me, I'm going to try to get one more round in tonight before time is up for this combo. I haven't messed with the brake bias yet, I'll try it to see if it helps.Thanks, but you are right on my heels
In the corners take full advantage that only 2 tires are needed to be in contact with the track/rumble strips at any time. I lowered my rear brake bias for better stability under braking (can look it up when I'm on if you want). IMO its usually better to break early so you enter the corner properly and that will allow you to get on the gas earlier.
Yes you can, and it is fun.
Sounds good to meYes you can, and it is fun.

No worries, just a friendly reminder there was still time.
Thanks,
:tup: Nice times. While I was at the 8:31 time, I tried to do something different. I threw caution out and tried to just go for it, I was a little on the edge of my seat. I tried what you were saying about the 2 wheel rule, I think I can knock another second or two due to I lost some time on the final uphill before the finish (almost lost it).
Where I said I almost lost it. I managed to get 3 wheels in the grass, I didn't notice it until I watched the replay. So that lap time is invalid now, that first lap time in the picture I posted is valid.
I'm at least 10 - 12 seconds slower than top aliens at the Nurburgring and I'm currently at 8:15.xxx. I suspect you still could gain some time by improving your racing line, take a look at this lap I have from one of the 'ring gods in a NSX.
It was worth a try. Don't forget to use youtube to check for replays of fast laps at different tracks for guidance, its the next best thing.
2 tires in the grass and the other 2 on the rumble strip, if that is considered dirty let me know and I'll try again. Improved to a 8:25.697 on the first lap and then I went out for one last go and managed a time similar to the one that was a DQ. Thanks for the encouragement. :tup:
Red and white rumble strips are considered track! If I recall all tarmac and concrete at the Nurburgring are legal so as long as you don't touch anything with your car and two tire are always touching the track (or above it if airborne) your good.
I made sure I watched the replay to make sure it was clean. This week I was able to put a lot more time in due to being on vacation from work, when I work I am lucky if I get 2-3 days at 1-2 hours of seat time a week.
