Re: I Am Agonizing T3 at VIR...
Brian, I like your approach; lightly brushing or holding the brakes, carrying in more speed in an arc.
Speaking of which; are either of you planning on attending the Carolinas event 11.18-11.20?

Re: I Am Agonizing T3 at VIR...
Nice
turned in earlier
used the brakes longer, but less (long brush, or short drag)
less G
faster through turn
Essentially, you were smoother!

Re: I Am Agonizing T3 at VIR...
I likely won’t be back at VIR until the Carolinas PCA 3-day event in November; 3 days of Full Course = heaven.
Honestly, I might be able to swing an earlier additional event, but my repair (bumper...

Re: I Am Agonizing T3 at VIR...
I think I see your point (I think) ;). You are correct; I am turning in based on muscle memory, because I know (at least I think so) that if I don't, I will run out of track, or be in a bad place.

Re: I Am Agonizing T3 at VIR...
I see. I haven't done it yet, but I like to break it almost down to each corner, unless its a close series of corners like snake, that way I can more easily identify deltas per corner. :)

Re: I Am Agonizing T3 at VIR...
It sounds like everything was working better for you at this last event. :-8
Better slip times? Do you mean 'sector' times? Can you clarify?

Re: I Am Agonizing T3 at VIR...
- Agree 100%; T3 is mental for me as well
- our turn in speeds I think are nearly identical
- tilt your camera down a little! :)
- ugh; the trains
- man I want to get back out there so badly

Re: I Am Agonizing T3 at VIR...
That's good info re: speeds in T3. I am mid 50s there as well IIRC. It feels like it could be faster; I think Alex (ukrbmw) was faster (link...

Re: I Am Agonizing T3 at VIR...
Of course! Rarely is there just one source of variability.
I haven't sat down and tried to dissect it, but perhaps its because you're already carrying more speed at 10, in a short, flat straight...

Re: I Am Agonizing T3 at VIR...
Not so much wider, but you can make it through T10 without a lot of steering angle, which allows for more speed, at least for me comfortably. Watch your inputs for 3 vs. 10; I bet you have more at 3

Re: I Am Agonizing T3 at VIR...
Is there more track out at 10 vs. 3? It seems like it to me. I take 10 early, then track out far right, vs, if you take 3 super early, you run out of track early. 10 is smaller than 3, to me
