There are plenty of guys who are faster with slower cars than me because they are better drivers. I don't really care what other people run, my goal is to improve my own times. I'm also not an aggressive passer, I don't drive bomb guys in corners, ride people's asses, and am quick to let faster drivers by quickly. 90%+ of the time I'm running on discontinued 7-year old 335/30/18 rear tires that don't have the grip that my new NT01s fronts have so they start getting greasy fast and start breaking loose in fast corners like club corners and riverside. I'm curious what I might run on the new pavement at Buttonwillow with some fresh cheater tires (R6s). I've ran once at ACS, Big Willow, and Streets of Willow last year where I didn't time myself. I have no desire to go back to any of those 3 tracks. It's Buttonwillow, Chuckwalla, and Spring Mountain for me.

I never said I'm faster than everyone else, there are plenty of people out there that are faster than I am. I have a car that is capable of going very fast and I'm able to tap into some of that potential. I don't go to the track to practice drifting or sliding because the groups that I run with frown on that and will black flag you for that (PCA/POC/BMW). My goal is to be smooth with no offs and bring the car back home in the same condition it came to the track. If I can run a PB then that much better. If I want to practice sliding/drifting around I'll go to a car control clinic or rent out a skid pad. |

I would get with an instructor you know and trust and have them give you good advice on where you can get to with your current tires by slowly working up your speed. A GT3 is a beast of a car and can definitely bite at the limit but I think theres a lot more left before you get to that limit, more than you think... Either way hats off to you for knowing what you want, to be safe and in control at all times while improving your lap times... |
