Passing P cars at Road Atlanta

RaleighM3 · 01-03-2016, 12:54 PM

My second outing to Road Atlanta in December with an outfit called Just Track It. Almost 3 seconds faster than my first trip thanks in part to some feedback from this group. There were a lot of P cars in the intermediate group, including a beautiful Cayman GT4 and a 991 that I had fun catching. Can't wait to get back there in 2016.

Very nice video, your intake and exhaust sound really nice.

Were you at Roebling in November? Don't remember seeing you there. That was my first weekend with JTI, and they were great. They will be back at roebling in April, check it out.

Very nice. Sounds great!

Cool video, but you shift too early.

Cool vid with the switchbacks. Always a good thing to get better each time out. That should be the main goal. Not lap times but skill and all of a sudden you lap times will drastically drop. Only thing I disagree with is the title. I always chuckle when a title says passing x car or racing y car in a title. Who cares. You should be beating your ghost all the time (gran turismo)!

You're using race render right? I can send you my template if you want. Check out my vid I posted in this section as well.

No disrespect to P cars (love my 997 GTS). There just happened to be a lot out on that day but I agree-the main point of doing video is for me to review the footage and find how I can go faster.

I've seen your vids-much respect! Would love to use your dashboard template.

Thanks for the feedback. Love how high the S65 can rev and I guess I haven't been using it all.

Thanks. One mic was taped to the bumper and another mic was in the engine bay. I wrapped an old sock around the mic in the engine bay to minimize the wind noise.

I haven't been to Roebling yet but it is on my list. Hoping to get back to RA in March with JTI or HOD. Definitely VIR in April with BMW!

Awesome. RA or Barber is on my taser with JTI this year, they are very close dates and a bit of a haul from Orlando.

Hoping to catch VIR in 2017

Are P cars the standard or something? They don't tend to set the fastest times at the days I attend.

Having instructed for PCA I would say that p-cars are NOT the standard. They are nice for sure but its the GT3s and TTs that we chase, anything less than that usually gets passed by a lightly modified M3.

Great thread and video. Awesome Track set-up.

How many track days do you get in / year?

tlrid3r · 01-10-2016, 12:42 PM

great video. can I ask on both of your camera views. Front hood and inside, where did you place the mic? you can really hear the s65 well.

TIA

Dinan intake sounds killer!

Thanks. I have a lavalier mic that I wrapped in a sock and taped behind the air intake. The mic inside the car ran out the trunk and was taped in the middle of the bumper.
