what times are you turning??????? if you dont mind me asking

[dogbone]

1:39.04 - and that's with taking turn 5 in 4th instead of 3rd because of sound limits. I kept getting dinged for sound so I had to go up in 4th.

Nice Lap

[dogbone]

Thanks! I really like that track. soooo smooth. Wish I could go more and learn it better. But it's far away…..ah well, hopefully the new pavement at Buttonwillow will be awesome!

Damn, I'm getting nostalgic about LS already

Here are some fast facts on the corkscrew.

• At the apex to Turn 8 (the lefthander and entry to The Corkscrew), the elevation change is a 12 percent drop.
• By the time a car reaches the apex of Turn 8A (the righthander), the elevation is at its steepest - an 18 percent drop.
• The Corkscrew drops 59 feet between the entrance of Turn 8 to the exit of Turn 8A. That's the equivalent of a five-and-a-half story drop in only 450 feet of track length.
• From Turn 8 to Turn 9, the elevation falls 109 feet, or just over 10 stories.

Need proof of that 1:39 in the E46. Not saying it's not possible, but that's a fairly quick time in that car.

this is generally how i roll down that turn

Ill dig up photo I took of the aim screen...to be honest im little skeptical myself as I average 2-3 slower maybe more depending on condirions. but who knows.

[FogCityM3]
