Default 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.

My first turn in is @ ~1.04.5 vs. that picture above which is ~1.05.4

We need to go back for like a week and review video and data after every session!

That's a big difference, nearly 1 sec, and that's what I am just figuring out or being conscious about it.

Yep, that how I felt and just had to find a way to get to the track, thankfully I have some friends who were very accommodating in the BMW club

My next VIR is not until the FSR one in September though , will you and/or Dell be there?

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 and coolant fittings) is taking quite a bite out of my track budget this year.

I’m slated for August at Charlotte MS, September at CMP, and November at VIR. I might be swayed to swap my CMP for another VIR; I’ll have to give it some thought.

South Course? Why not the Potomac event? Too busy rubbing elbows at the IRL event?
