Time Trial Discussion

[Ian JB]

Hi,

Road Atlanta. Ford. Sports hards tyres.

Oh my goodness me! It could be that I am just very rusty after a few weeks away. It could be that I don't, quite yet, understand the weight transfer thing. It could be that I am just c**p at this kind of thing.

Having thought about it for an hour this afternoon, I have concluded that I am just c**p!

This TT will be gold and go for me. A 1:33:7xx stand me at around 2.4% off the top time. I will try again if needed but I won't enjoy it.

You folks are delightful! Quick and entertaining - Long may that continue.

Best regards to all here.


Ian.

Finally...

And of course, not optimal, S1 was .200 dead, and on the previous couple of attempts I did a .087 and .085 in a row, so I still have a tenth here, possibly a low .800 lap, but that will have to be the perfect one. Unfortunately, just as I got into the zone tonight, one of the kids had a bad dream, woke up screaming, woke the second kid up, so I had to put them to bed, no more driving now, but tomorrow we chase the 800s

Hi there (vacation time is over)

My target was to get into the 32's, it seemed like a reasonable goal for me but sadly I didn't make it.

1:33:085 will be my final time.

See you guys at Daytona next Thursday. 😃

Edit: uploaded the (messy) lap.

Did three more laps at the Spa track and clocked a 2'25.296. So I still have a ways to go to get to the silver club.

@Ian JB no, you're not crap, you're one of those strong drivers who can do anything with your skill levels. Just have faith and keep practicing on the Spa track. It's not a simple course for beginners and even for amateurs. I may have to start back to using ghosts to help me improve my lap times. I haven't done it in a good while, since Spring of 2024. Well off I go to Road Atlanta in the Ford Focus. It's a fun drive in that car, my cousin owned a Ford Focus back in 2007 and he said he had a pleasant ride in it. I may not be able to enter gold territory at Spa, 2'20.XXX might be a tough time for mere-mortals and normal drivers.

50 miles in the Focus this afternoon for 0.03s improvement 🤣 … optimals look somewhat promising but stitching it all together is going to take some patience. Orange is clearly faster than grey. I think below a 1:32.5 is a healthy and attainable goal here. Happy lapping
