Since we're talking tracks. I will say if you're willing to haul over to Road Atlanta (great course) I will add don't miss when there's an event at Daytona.
After I drove for the first time the 3.54 mile 24hr. course I said I could die now and I'd go happy. Hitting your top end wring out 6th gear on the 31 degree banking gives you a "woody". Got a new found respect for the NASCAR guys.
Bring extra wheels/tires b/c the RF & RR will be gone in a morning.
There are many awesome tracks but I also recommend Road America in Elkart Lake, WI.

Nice collection of cars their. What kind of lap times did you do in your new RS

 

1:42 timed only once by my daughter. Mostly higher than that. A little too trafficky. Once I got it down, I think I ran a little better than that, but not much.

 

glad to see you enjoying your car

 

It's a monster on the track. Words can't describe. I'm a track rookie, so the car makes me look better than I am.

 

A well set up RS is a beautifull thing. Late braking into the corners and screaming on the trackout of the corners, well that's driving heaven.
Enjoy that gorgeous RS.

cc08gt2, I saw your GT3 at Barber DE and it inspired my for the color of my next one, it looks great. I love the track as well, June was my 2nd trip to Barber and I can't wait to go back!

 

Barber is awesome...very fun track, very technical. I have some very detailed notes on Barber.

I absolutly have to drive Road Atlanta someday soon. I've done Daytona a few times nd it is a easy track but very very fast. Sebring is my home track.

 

A few mo betta pics.







Screen saver anyone?

 

Amazing pictures! Can someone photoshop the blue numbers?!

 

+1...I wanted to add about the tire wear at Daytona....

For Daytona you need a lot less camber. I ran -2 front and -1.8 rear and my tire wear on my R888's were fine. Guys running more camber where wearing out the inside of the RR fast.

Also at Daytona you should run your right side tires at least 2-3lbs higher than your would at other tracks. So for me on the R888's I normally run 36 hot so on the right side I ran 39-40 hot and my tire wear was great.

I got this info from Bob Woodman of Bob Woodman tires and the Hoosier tire rep was walking the pits and he was nice enough to spend some time with me going over this as well.

 

Schillster in action!!!

 

Cool with the cam on the roof. Sure gives a different perspective.

NOT when he forgets to turn it on!!!!

 

Awesome course. Looks very techincal. More of a handling course than big hp. The NA cars would do well.
Need to try and make it sometime soon.
