Re: CCCPR Salinas Intl. Raceway
I was quite a bit faster than the Porsche everywhere. It doesn't look like it because I follow the rules. Were not supposed to get too close, pass without a point by and only pass on the straights. I was being patient but in the first session I got stuck behind him for the last 4 or 5 laps of the session. You can hear the engine in the video so you can tell where I'm letting off so as to keep the distance. In the end I passed without a point by. bad bad bad
You can't hear the tires in the video but they were singing. I have the car well balanced now and usually it will do a 4 wheel drift unless I steer with the throttle (still learning how) which I believe the Wavetrac will help with. In the first heat I passed 2 Corvettes. I really wanted that on tape.
The GoPro seems to focus on the loudest sound. If I put the camera on the roof the only sound I get is the wind. So I started putting the camera on the hood and it works better.
The car was shifting to 4th at the end of the back straight so around 105. They put the chicane on the front straight to slow us down. Without it I reach 130. This was just for practice and fun. i push harder when it's a points race.
