I also tried sport over sport+ throttle during last track day. Auto rev-match (6MT) was super cool to use and helped shaving 2 sec off on the first half of the track! But comparing videos showed I seem to be carrying more speed with sport+ throttle. Top speed at straight doesn't have difference, but under WOT while weight is loaded there seems to be difference. I also felt hesitation in boost at times. Would need more samples to confirm but I personally feel like my driving style benefits more from sport+. I wouldn't even bother trying efficient throttle at this point.

Magically found a hole in my calendar so booked a track day for next week!
This time, I've ordered track brake pads pretty early on but again, I could not get what I wanted which is Ferodo DS1.11 all around so had to settle for DS1.11 on the front and DS2500 rear; not ideal, I know, but still better than OEM. Can never catch a break. However, I'm promised they're gonna arrive just in time.

LOL weird how that sounds like every T2 day I’ve tried. Our 997.2 C2S was actually rear ended at a T2 day. I can’t believe I actually went back after that, shame on me.

What happens in this scenario? Other driver's insurance covers it or do they just not want to involve insurance?

It seems that they have more 'race' element as 'fun' in the expense of lesser safety enforced. More 'enjoy your freedom and you are on your own responsibility' type culture. And they draw audience who like it I guess; their registration is pretty full for every day in spite of pretty high track fee! Or perhaps they have more people who go toward racing. In real race, who cares about contacts. It seems that they do co-cost test and tune track day with lucky dog racing league. The danger is it may promote some people who don't have that skill yet to be pushed over the edge. |

HPDEs are generally "no-fault" - everyone accepts liability for their own car, the waiver everyone signs has language to that effect and includes other "incidentals". For example, if you take out armco barriers or tire walls, you're also on the hook for that, and potentially even track cleanup if you dump oil all over the place. Also note your "regular" auto insurance doesn't cover track use or any of the incidentals listed. These are among many reasons why track insurance policies are so important. It's an expensive hobby, no doubt. Running without track insurance is all about how much financial risk you are comfortable taking.

Yep, thus the point by. If you have a supper aggressive asshole behind you, let the ass by with a point.
Most clubs try and control super aggressive driving, but it is really easy to come up on some slow traffic in a corner and collect another car that is caught in the mix. I came up on a train at COTA last fall, must have been 8-10 cars slamming into turn 11 at the same time. I felt the shit got too real, I wasn’t the only one, most of the cars in front of me were done with the session. I feel good at braking at near 90%-100% on a clear track into a corner, with traffic in front of me you really have to expect the unexpected.

When I come up on a train decelerating from 130-40mph for a turn, I just position myself halfway on the track, going offline. And keep my escape options open.
No way will I follow 5 other cars into a super heavy braking zone. You just don’t know when someone will experiment with a spin mid-pack, where you can’t clearly see what is happening. But then things can get interesting on corner exit as well.

Dude, have you seen live? they're a hoot. Always make sure to catch at Indy race weekends. Tracks like Toronto and Detroit you can stand trackside at eye level with the ramps as they take off... Hilarious.

Stadium Super Trucks is one of my guilty Youtube treats. I think after watching the Bathurst 12 hour in 2018, Youtube thought "clearly you like Australian motorsports, have some super trucks" and I was sold. Would love to see them live at some point.

Watched them at Long Beach GP and they are a blast! It's like how 10 year old me would design a course with the ramps!

I abuse brakes, if I had stock front calipers, I would have to change Pads every other track day. But there is something satisfying about having a GT3RS get away from you on a straight away and then late break your way through a couple corners and right back on him
Speaking of which, I need to sell the DSUNO Fronts I bought from you - never used them.... |
