The primary goal is for the Novice group - to come in and ask questions about areas of the track they're getting stuck on. If they ask, we focus on particular turns. If nobody says anything, we do a complete lap.
But you raise a good point - the intermediate group is likely the group that's doing well enough, they are starting to think about particular areas to improve.
The only counter I can have to that - you get enough track time, it might be worth sacrificing a session to sit in.
As for the lap you shared....
So I see lots of TC light flashing. A ZL1 has stupid horsepower so that's going to prove tricky to begin with - areas you want to be WOT will probably have your balls up in your throat lol. So the trick for retarded horsepowers is to be smooth. Try a taller gear so you can be WOT more everywhere and manage the output.
I assume the gear ratios are slightly different between the Z06 Corvette and your Camaro? Because I recall riding right-seat with
J-LO here (heck I might've been adding 240lbs of ballast in his fast lap video?) in his C7Z and he did the entire track in 3rd gear. No downshifting (or upshifting) once up to speed - 3rd the entire thing. If your car is geared shorter (I think it is...) then consider rolling the entire thing in 4th.
- You've got more than enough grunt to pull from low RPM
- One less thing to deal with (shifting)
- Less torque at the tire - can more easily put power down
- Less torque overall means car will be less "jumpy" and reactive to throttle input
- For turns where the car really feels like it's bogging - work on increasing mid-corner speed and get the car up into the power via higher vehicle speed, vs. a downchange and trying to explode out of it
- 3rd and 4th look really close in ratio anyways
Until you get accustomed to being able to really plant your right foot early, and let the rear steer the car a bit - my hunch is you will go faster this way. It won't "feel" as fast but I bet the increase in smoothness overall will help you pick up time everywhere.
After all that - your line isn't bad. A few spots to clean up but what I see more of is just timidness. Areas where you should really be applying throttle to get a drive THROUGH the turn, you're hesitant until you're almost pointed straight. And then when you do hit the gas - TC light blinks. Which is why I think 4th gear might be better. It will allow you to work on applying the throttle earlier, rolling it on, without the risk of spinning to your death.
Turn specific feedback...
- Feels like you could run it a little wider in the Link turn - get closer to the driveway on the right. That'll open up the exit which means easier to apply throttle
- Same with 2 - run it a little wider mid-corner so you can sorta square up the exit and be set for entry to 3
- You totally dropped the throttle between 2 and 3, and then were really late to re-apply. Try working on maintenance throttle through there. Don't drop fully, just roll back a bit.
- Late getting on the throttle for 5. Power down and unwind the wheel at the same time - try to get a drive through it
- 7 should be FLAT. I'd imagine even in your car. It might want to drift/slide a little towards track out? I'd go watch J-LO's video see if he was WOT. Up a gear will help there too.
- 14, used up too much track on the exit. Probably trying to carry too much speed. Sacrifice 14 so you can get a good drive through 15
