3:15 was sick! Sliding out of a turn is not the fastest, but damn is it fun! Good stuff man. Really solid, top notch driving.

Nice! however it seemed your 2nd lap on turn 17 was a bit hairy no? lots of steering movement and a downshift in mid turn? eh, maybe it was just me getting scared watching the video! LOL I will be back at Sebring on the 12th.

That car gets down the track!

Looks like it has a bit of understeer in most of the lower speed corners?

Gearing looks pretty good.

Thanks, glad you guys enjoy it.

3:15 was sick! Sliding out of a turn is not the fastest, but damn is it fun!
That was the first time on track inthat car. I take all corners in 3rd gear now, not sure it is faster yet, I think not yet, but with a bit more momentum I think it will be eventually. It feels like I'm hammering the car and diff less that way..

Nice! however it seemed your 2nd lap on turn 17 was a bit hairy no?
No, seems OK to me, I am working on a bit tighter line now, I can keep the same speed, but it makes the turn a but shorter and less bumpy if I get it right. I gave up on the second lap when I passed that car, actually went to 5th. through bisshop bent, kinds cruising. As soon as I noticed I did not lose a lot of time I went for it in T16 and T17, but it was still a 10th slower then the lap before it.

Looks like it has a bit of understeer in most of the lower speed corners?
No, not really, but I did cord both inside (used) tires that session, even though the tire temps were even accross the tires?!
I took out some negative camber in front, big mistake, the car pushed like hell the next weekend! I went front -2 to factory -1.5 camber front, I will go back to -2.5 next event. I think the fronts were just more used up then I thought. My mistake, always setup the car on new tires...

has anybody seen this video? was on another forum, http://jonsibal.com/blog/2010/05/fie...-super-trofeo/
I'd seen that. Horrific.

Turn 17 was my favorite, went up with friends (2 xs) who rented out track for the day, open wheel for three hours with 15 min break between each hour. Absolute blast.

Awesome vid Peter. I was there today. My best lap was around 2:30.x with the Pirelli Corasa tires. This was my 3rd time at that track (first 2, 3-4 years ago), and this was the first time with the GT3. Will post lap vid later tonight. I need some hoosiers and lessons from "TRACKCAR"

I don't know the grip of the Pirelli's but 2:30 is nothing to sneeze at on street tires without really knowing the track.. Sebring is a difficult track.

I need some hoosiers
Consider some Toyo RA1, shaved 5/32 as a great step up from street tires, I just ordered 2 sets.
