Well, spent most of my Friday at Laguna Seca, regrettably very much in vain as it resulted in no better than 1’20.213. An alright time but in all those hours I did that TT I didn’t manage a single clean and proper lap. That PB had the corkscrew “landing” completely botched which compromised my line for the next left a lot. What a shame, as I had lotto’d nicely through T5 on that very lap. Wasn’t meant to be this time.
I’d say Laguna Seca is an alright race track but to hotlap on it at this level is quite the nightmare, the sausage kerbs make it properly awful. T5 in particular. Excruciating.
The following evening I set my sights on Spa-Francorchamps and the eMS TT in the RA272. Eau Rouge and Raidillon were quite frustrating but nowhere near Laguna Seca levels of frustrating, here you could cool it a bit and find somewhat of a higher success rate going through it. 45 mins in I got I 2’28.242 and settled for that, in order to save mind and body. No patience to keep going.
