I made some more progress at Road Atlanta, 1'36.251. I'm starting to understand the turn 1 at Road Atlanta, you have to brake close to the cones and then turn right smoothly without the car sliding. The first Sector requires a lot of focus and precision near the blind corner. I'll get the hang of it, it's all about trial and error and using different driving lines and braking points between the 0-100 meter marks. I'm gonna show some videos of what mistakes I'm making. The two consecutive right turns can be tricky too, this part was also in Master license B-9. Remember that? Finding the correct braking point is key for having a strong exit from any turn or corner.

And do not get me started on the final chicane near the Firefox Factory thing. I must try to get in the 1'35.000 zone tonight. If not, maybe by tomorrow.
 
This place is crazy fast… feel like I’m standing still while the rest of you are all getting faster. Succumbed to peer pressure 😆 and switched over to the Viper. First 10 laps and 3 tenths faster than my lap in the Corvette and agonizingly close to dropping into the 44s. Optimal splits look promising though, and the Viper’s a fast car, it just needs some persuasion to stop, turn and put down its power lol!! Happy lapping :cheers:

A few minor corrections and a bit more time can be achieved. I already feel like I’m at the limit with this car. 😂
Wow, 298th!! That's brilliant man. I need to get started with it and pick the right Group 3 car for the job. I'm sure you are at limit since you're in with the aliens. I guess I should go with the Viper then.
