The weather was awesome today at Mosport. The new pavement is indeed grippy. I'm matching my best times from last year but on PSS tires and without proper brakes or alignment (and baby seat still installed :-)). The exit out of 5 is faster now, so I have to shift to 6 almost every time before 8. The morning session was pouring rain though, and I ended up on the grass within 0.5 meres of the concrete wall out of 5C. Similarly to how Vico wrecked, just caught it barely in time. Will get a video from a car behind me.
In the dry though, it's a bit faster, indeed, and I feel more comfortable with less braking into 1 and 2 because of paved run offs (did not even come close to needing them yet - tells me I was too conservative before). |

Calabogie was awesome this weekend! The new Prestige Porsche team was testing testing their two new cup cars (they're bloody fast), and saw a whole bunch of familiar faces. Got my times consistently into the 2:27s (and recorded on my smartycam) and can probably find a second or two more I've got to flush my brake fluid and get some SRF in there soon!
^ We'll probably do another round of days in the next month or so. We've had huge interest for more days, so stay tuned! |

The turn 5C is as dangerous as before
I was trying to stay away from standing water around 5b apex and exit of 5c, so took 5c much sharper than in the dry, and throttle application sent the car into an oversteer that I barely caught before the wall. Cannot quite see it on the video, but the rear started slipping out just before the middle of 5c inside curbing, and I did not correct enough right away. A bit embarrassing, but it was the first session of the season, with rain, cold, and track modifications (excuses, excuses...) |

BTW, I got wrong pads delivered, so I was running street pads, and they were not good at all - the car was shaking side to side on entry to 8, and they were almost done by the end of the weekend. So now I'm driving with about 2mm of pad material, and hoping the new pads get here by May 25th (DDT). |
