good work at the Autobahn yesterday gents

 

[Eagle]

I had a blast. Would have loved to have less traffic, but that's life. Last track day of the year, beautiful weather, good (not great) track conditions, its going to be busy.

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

I believe traffic does hurt lap times quite a bit, I'm assuming our fastest laps are probably the most open without having to get off the line to pass.

 

[Eagle]

I ran into traffic at least twice on my fastest lap actually. But it was much more open than the rest of the laps I made.

 

[J-LO]

I ran into 1 car exiting north turn 6. I had to wait a second or two before getting back on the throttle as I waited for him to wave the pass. I'm guessing I would have done a low 2:53 high 2:52. On a sad note instructor said the lap after my fast lap I was even faster, but I had to come in as I was out of fuel ( went from half a tank to empty in 5 laps lol). I can see with a chance to string 3-4 laps together with no traffic getting into the 2:49 range

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

ya that fuel consumption is a bitch it looks like i'm 2.5 sessions before empty

I found following a line to be a lot of fun.

I think 2:49 should be easy for most of us high HP cars to attain next year.

Even my S2000 only gets 8-9mpg at the track Can't imagine what those go getter power plants get.

The Maxxis tires are very good track day tire but not a good tire for racing. They last forever and have decent grip but are definitely not a Hoosier. They have similar grip to a Nitto NT01 but last longer on a heavier car. Back to back testing has shown that the RC-1 is 3 to 6 seconds slower than a Hoosier R7 on the Miata depending on the track. Maxxis has a good contingency program and the tires are cheaper than Hoosier R7 tires also, so we run them when there are not enough people in class to win Hoosiers.

Going back in october and hope to break 3:10 in our car. Lots of issues to resolve and fine tune. Best time for the team was 3:08 so room to improve. Motor is down on compression so hoping a freshened up one will help.
