CotA PDR - Killed a GT350R, GT500, and a bunch of BMWs
This was really the first session of the day as the actual first session got red flagged on lap 1 due to a Mustang crashing into the wall (go figure).
Made a few mistakes as I was still getting warmed up for the day. Fastest lap was a 2:36. Here are some flybys down the front straight, too. Last edited by RSFR; 01-21-2018 at 01:21 PM. |

Awesome!
How did you time your laps? It didn’t seem like you marked start/finish on PDR. Is it generally acceptable to straddle (wheels completely over) the rumble strips on the corners? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The track was setup in "motorcycle configuration" which removes the giant speed humps from the apexes of the corners. My general rule of thumb is, as long as 2 wheels are on the track, it's legit. Same rules apply in Formula 1. |

Ah! That explains it! I coulda swore a few of those corners used to have the big yellow turtle shell bumps. Glad I’m not losing my mind. Great lines.

Nice driving. You definitely made good use of the curbing width through the esses
When the Stang did NOT. |

Cool vid! I could only get a 2:38 out of my neighbors stock Boxster S at COTA. Really fun track!

Car is showroom stock from tires, fluids, brakes, alignment, etc with the only mod being a Roto-Fab CAI.
However, brake pads and tires are about done for, so I'll be swapping those out and getting an alignment for the new season. |

Great vid and driving note in the beginning the GT350R is skating around a bit in the corners not sure if it's the car or driver ?

Was 40 degrees that day. The Cup 2 tires he was using had no temperature in them. This is what caused another GT350R to crash into the wall during the first session.

I like the straight line stuff but that was pretty cool.
Newbie question, the C7 was driving with his top down, is that an instructors car ? I would think that wouldn't be permissible otherwise.
