First track session was a success!
Ran Sebring last weekend and it performed flawlessly. Took a few laps to start to get used to the new car and begin figuring out where the limits are.
Some learnings and observations:
- MDM is horrendous and should be disabled immediately. Made an attempt to leave it on in first session but it couldn’t get out of its own way
- Car has tons and tons of grip (Nankang AR1’s). I need to trust it more.
- First time on track with a turbo car. Wasn’t sure what to expect, especially boost mid corner. But it was a non-event, super smooth and linear
- Need buckets and harness. Next mod for sure
- Water injection worked well. Used up about half tank per session
- Car drinks gas!!! Full tank not enough for 2 full 30 minute sessions
- Driving home in downpour on AR1’s = terrifying!
- Brakes felt amazing, predictable, easy to modulate (Girodisc + Ferodo)
Overall very happy with it! Great starting point and platform with tons left in it. No record-setting laptimes but we did get into high 20s out there. Still about 10 seconds off e30m3 pace but we’ll get there. Love this car!
