Evo. I have to upshift and lose a bit of time between turn 5 and 6 because of the 92db sound limit.

NICE.
I noticed you upshifted early at 5-6.

How did they want you guys to take the hairpin at the end of the front straight? Double apex or single? Looks like you were doing a little both? The CCA had us going WAY out toward the end of the straight, then turning in for a single apex.

Yea I was black flagged for sound (the sound booth is between 5-6) in the early sessions so I had to upshift somewhere in the middle and downshift again right before 6.

I mostly single apexed as everyone has told me that's the line for the fastest lap. I noticed when I was right behind cars that were double-apexing, I'd gain on them pretty quickly on the following straight.

Sweet!!! Thanks for sharing.

mfanatic325 · 09-30-2012, 04:22 PM

This is my home track. No invite FTL

My personal best with my M coupe is 1:47 also with upshift and/or lift off between turn 5 & 6 to pass sound check.

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
