ColorChange is infamous around these parts
Had a talk yesterday with the people at Derik Daly. They don't use lateral g's! I can't hardly believe it. So, while I could still learn a ton without it, I really want to go someplace that has full data acquisition.

I am now looking at GP Motorsports. They have the new Viper track car and it is supposed to be fully instrumented. I would probably prefer the formula cars (for quicker response time) but the viper should be more similar to my Countach and the turbo.

Any thoughts or experience?

Skip Barber has a computer car that records everything! Not part of the normal training but you can do a half day on the computer car and learn a ton!

Every race weekend I always do the computer car and can cut my lap time down major.

Buddyg:

Thanks, next call goes to Skip Barber. Just out of curiosity, why the brembo fluid instread of Castrol SRF? I'm pretty sure SRF is the highest bp available.

Talking with GM Motorsports. They have comp coupe Vipers that have full motec systems. I am trying to arrange 3 full lapping days in that car, rather than the normal 3 day race program.

We will see.
