PCD: Last year's version
second session on street tires on sunday.
3:00 - me hunting Marc down
4:30 - close encounter of a JDM rear bumper kind. marc alwaystooslowthroughchicane
8:05 - me chasing the 600 whp GTR, i was faster than him in this session, until he found out that turning off all the electronic nanny allowed him to run 6 seconds faster in the last session and beat me by 2 seconds.
12:24 - i saw cones and thought i was at an autox for a second
. after passing the GTR and pulling a gap, i went through the fast off camber turn without braking for the first time and was carrying too much speed for the hair pin turn. my rear locked up from braking too hard, so i had to release and take evasive maneuver to avoid flat spotting the rear tire.

Thai I like the smooth roll on throttle steer in the chicane and out of tight corners In thIs vId. I think from all your vids this one stands out. I can't remember you doing this much allowing more rotation. Is it because of new power/spool of turbo or are you just getting on the throttle earlier than usual on this track?
^ oh, so am I a pro yet 
this turbo has more lag than then my previous turbo or stock turbo. full boost doesnt come in till 4k rpm. so i have to get on the throttle earlier but still no power till 4k rpm. marc was actually faster than me coming out some of the tight corners cause his stock turbo spool much faster.

pretty interesting to see the time you make up in some sections. Def so good driving going on there.

Maybe you should turn up the boost, bro.
Took a while to figure out what was going on... faster corner speed + faster terminal velocity should = faster lap times, but that isn't always the case.
On a course with a lot of on and off the throttle (aka turns) the response of the smaller turbo is preferred. I'll bet at shenandoah I'll be able to wax Thai now. But on a bigger course like Summit main or Lightning his larger turbo will shine.
That and I'm a pro now, you know.
