paffinity is an amateur racing driver with 38 recorded laps across 9 vehicles on LapMeta, averaging 4.2 laps per car. This balanced ratio suggests methodical track day participation where each platform receives meaningful attention while maintaining diversity enabling comparative understanding. Over four laps per vehicle allows progression beyond initial familiarization—first laps establish basic characteristics, middle laps build confidence approaching limits, final laps reveal nuanced behaviors requiring extended exposure to discover.
His LapMeta data shows testing with 11 laps at CCW configuration, 7 laps CW, and 5 laps at 2.7 miles CCW. The distribution suggests focused venue preference while maintaining directional variety—testing vehicles at familiar circuit in both directions to understand how reversed corner sequences affect vehicle behavior and optimal techniques. This methodology provides valuable learning about chassis balance, brake bias, and how specific platforms respond to directional variation. The 9-vehicle portfolio with over four laps per car represents balanced approach enabling meaningful platform development. With 38 laps across 9 vehicles averaging 4.2 laps each, paffinity demonstrates methodical approach combining focused platform development with selective portfolio diversity supporting comprehensive comparative vehicle dynamics understanding through systematic evaluation.
Picked up an AP2v1 earlier this year and been slowly prepping it for track work. It'll mostly be a street car with occasional track time. First time driving it at COTA and wasn't sure what to expect. I mostly expected the brakes to explode, but fortunately they held up okay except for the pads getting a bit glazed. Drove with top down and it was fine for the most part, but would be nice to get a hard top (someone please sell me one for cheap).
Didn't drive much, just showing some students the line, and a single session alone. This was the best lap, which unfortunately wasn't a great lap. A little cheaty and some blown apexes. Hopefully find a lot more time in the future.
