It's suction cupped to the back of the passenger seat. It's a great view angle, plus quick, cheap, and easy, but not ideal for video stability as you can tell.

I was only able to back up my best Sebring lap yesterday. 2:29.6 timed with an aim solo. 6mt, re71's, pagids, pss10s. I swapped the front zcp bar for the OEM one and it had more steering for sure but it didn't translate into a faster lap. I think there's more time to be found in my current setup just with my driving. 17 is tricky and I played with line and entry all day but I can't seem to get it right. Also, I was driving full DSC off for the first time at Sebring so that may have played into not going faster. The brake ducting sure seemed to help but the ambient temp was 30 or so degrees cooler since I was last there though so I'll have to wait until summer to really tell if they help or not.

First on the board for this track.

Texas World Speedway - 1:56.43 tchiers M3 6MT (NT01, Pagid RSL)

Found another second at TWS.

Nice lap. Can you post the data/video so I know where to find the next second?

Of course, and critique welcomed! Here's a link:

Planning on going to Buttonwillow Friday and hopefully will PR as the weather will be 30-40 degrees cooler from last time I was out there.

Are you in 2nd or 3rd gear through turns 3 & 9?
Thanks!

3rd gear through turn 3 and 2nd gear through turn 9, no problem.

Are you heading to ACS next weekend with Speed Ventures?

I was planning on it but the weather forecast looks a bit dicey. You?

Leaning towards Buttonwillow with Speed District but it all comes down to the weather.

This weather is also messing with my plans. Hopefully the weather shapes up better in the next week. Don't feel like doing Buttonwillow in the wet, lol.

Yeah me neither especially since my NT01s are pretty much slicks right now lol. Unfortunately as of today the weather report isn't looking too great... Might have to run ACS Saturday.

Thanks for sharing. I don't see any huge differences in our lines, unsurprisingly. I would have liked to compare some more corner entry/apex/exit speeds, but unfortunately it looks like Harry's lost the GPS fix a few times on your lap, making its speed readout unreliable. (This is why I switched to the AIM Solo - well worth it!)

I see you're throwing away a bit less of 8 than I am (you finish mid-left, where I get all the way to the edge). I've heard there is some time to be gained there. Might play around with it a bit next weekend.

Seems like a great tire. Reminds me of an NT01. Good sidewall and
Blocky feeling

Who needs coffee when you can have some oversteer on a wet cold track? Wakes you right up.
