First track day in my 1LE
Signed up for the June 17th Track Night in America at Sebring raceway. I have done trackdays in my previous cars 2012 Mustang GT Brembo pkg, 2018 BMW 340i track pkg, 2018 ATS-V, but this is the first in the camaro.
I cooked the brakes in the mustang and almost lost it because of that. The BMW never had any problems with overheating even though it was tuned with a downpipe. The handling of the 1LE is so much more than these past cars mostly because o the massive tires it has so it'll be an interesting comparison. |

I had a similar journey. Started on a '14 Mustang GT Track Pack. Than had a BMW M2, and now the Camaro. The 1LE is by far my favorite track tool.

You're goin to love it in the 1LE, I just did Daytona last month and was 10 seconds faster a lap compared to my mustang GT.
I'll be at Sebring for TNIA on June 16th also for the second time, first time was in the rain so I'm hoping for no rain this time!

I just did my first Track night in America yesterday. I've never raced on a track before, so I have no other car to compare it to, but it was AMAZING!!! so much fun!!! By the end of the night, i was pushing it pretty hard and the camaro performed flawlessy. It was keeping rpms up in the 4500 range during hard turns and at first, i thought something was wrong. But, that's normal for these cars at the track. RIGHT?

Most of us who track regularly use .125" rear toe for turn in.
