I Am Agonizing T3 at VIR...

It sounds like everything was working better for you at this last event.

Better slip times? Do you mean 'sector' times? Can you clarify?

I certainly needed these sessions to "feel" the car rather than just drive or over-drive it as I did during the FSR event.

I use the term "slip time" to identify a corner or a series of corners, whereas to me "sector times" is much larger sections of the track. For example T3 is just one corner, or up-hill essess is a small section, so I use "slip time." I generally brake the track into 3 or 4 sectors, areas which have a continuous characteristic to itself than the rest, For example, T1 through T6a is sector 1, the rest until the exit out of Oak Tree is sector 2, then the rest until braking zone to T1 is the 3rd sector at VIR for me.
