Hope you get your insurance sorted soon -- would be great to get you back down here on a day with MoE so I can try to chase your R8's ass around Hopefully I'll be back at Lightning on 6/21, will definitely report back! Thx again! |

Start turning your steering wheel about 5' before the end of the curbing, you can trail brake a little bit here but the goal is to have the car completely straight so you can get on throttle and stay on it through the crest, even if you have to momentarily lift a little right at the top. The key here is that since you're going uphill your rear end is loaded so you'll have less grip in the front tires to turn in real quick - that's why you want to be a little bit slower or use braking to shift a little weight to the front tires as you enter the turn. You want the car settled and completely tangent to the apex as you go through it. I'm not doing it correctly either - I should have had my front end rotated more toward the car in front of me and a bit further to the left (using my vid so you can see the apex). The sweet spot here is to have your passenger side tires just barely over this apex (like < 6"). Once you find this spot, you'll be able to go relatively flat through here. After you go over the crest you'll be going downhill and your front end will be loaded so you'll have good grip and will turn in easily. As far as insurance goes, I'm all done with the Z06 claim. Right now I'm just waiting on a set of track wheels for the R8 but I'll definitely catch you at lightning. It's one of my favorite tracks here. |

Check out 11:40 - See where he turns in and how he quickly turns his wheel straight over the apex? He's carrying less throttle than I think he normally would but it looks there was an oil spill that got cleaned up shortly before right on the line. |

Thanks again G, the marked-up screen grabs were super helpful, as was the video. I've always respected that as a tricky turn, but now with an even greater appreciation of some of the nuances I'd say it's rather diabolical, particularly as it leads to a long straight

A corner that immediately follows a corner is typically the least significant (unless this is a shorter/slower circuit). |

GridLife 2021 Spring KickOff @ Gingerman Raceway
StreetGT Results 1:38.730 - 2015 F80 (305/30/19 RE71R Square, GCC Kit, Full SPL Suspension, Dinan Stg1, Active Autowerke MidPipe, CCB Iron Kit) Pretty pumped to run this time in some pretty adverse conditions, it was SUPER hot this past weekend and with cooler temps the car most likely has a full second in it. Bummed to miss out on P1 this time but Chris laid it down in the one good session we had all weekend. Hopefully we'll drop into the 37's for the next go around. |

A fun graph I thought would be appreciated here.
My AIM GPS speed data at The Ridge from my best lap time with my clients M3, vs my personal 2021 SS 1LE. (completely stock except for a mild track alignment) Some surprising and not so surprising information - M3 - Driver: KHC Date: April 17th, 2021 Track: Ridge MP Car: 2018 M3c DCT Time: 1:49.59 Mods: MCS 2way, Ferodo ds1.11, Girodisc rotors, HR front bar, A052 Square (265/40/18) Camaro - Driver: KHC Date: June 14th, 2021 Track: Ridge MP Car: 2021 Camaro SS 1LE Time: 1:50.21 Mods: Mild track alignment, otherwise as delivered. - The M3 is fast! - The stickier tires and more camber really help the M3 mid corner - Even in stock form, the 1LE has incredible front end grip and brakes Ken |

6000 mark looks to be an anomaly. Why wasn't the M3 able to match or best the 1LE there?

1:15.37 jfritz27 M3 ZCP 6MT (NT01, DS1.11, Bilstein B16, Vorshlag camber plates, BM3 Stage 1 w/ 20% reduction gears 1-3) (Purple Panda mic setup clipped to license plate per NYG's other thread) OK @NYG, I don't know man -- that turn 5.... still not sure if I'm getting it right. I managed a few tenths better on my best lap relative to previous day, but was hoping for a bit more. Almost feel like I was overslowing too much at the turn-in for 5. I do feel my confidence was not at 100% due to having to deal with a Chassis restricted error from a bum front vertical acceleration sensor (now fixed), so maybe I can blame some on that Definitely digging the upgraded sound setup |

What's your camber/toe/ride height settings and what cold tire pressures were you running? Any hot readings? |

EDIT-- Ok, here's what I got: ALIGNMENT Front: Camber is about -3.0; not exactly sure, but I think toe is about 0.25* out on each side (this is what I handwrote from my alignment shop which they told me verbally, because alignment sheet was printed when car was aligned at my street camber setting. Rear: Camber -1.9, toe-in 0.17* per side RIDE HEIGHT (measured from bottom lip of 437M wheel to arch) Front: 24.75" Rear: 23 5/8" TIRE DATA Bear in mind again this was my first time doing this. I'll share here just the data after my 4th session, when I feel like my method was consistent and the data seemed somewhat sensical. Was on Lightning (CW track), measurements were in paddock, but I was set up very close to exit lane in an attempt to minimize cool-off. The outside tires seem to have a nice even temperature, but I seem to have a large gradient on the inside tire -- too much negative camber for the inside tires (esp pass front)? Driver front: O 178, M 177, I 180, hot pressure 35 Pass front: O 150, M 165, I 180, hot pressure 34 Driver rear: O 185, M 184, I 186, hot pressure 33 Pass rear: O 159, M 168, I 179, hot pressure 32 I have to say this pyrometer seems to be a very good value: https://www.ebay.com/itm/23396876754...Cclp%3A2334524 Last edited by jfritz27; 07-08-2021 at 07:41 PM.. |
