My goal for this event was to hit a sub 2 minute laptime. That obivously didn't happen, but I was able to get a lot closer than my previous attempt of a 2:03.7. This lap was set on my second session of the day on lap 3 or 4. I finally felt confident with the new tires and started to push the lap a bit more.
I missed my braking point going into sunset the next lap and aborted for a cool down. When I got back on it again, the car lost all top end power and my 2:01 pace turned into a 2:07 pace. Very frustrating to lose power like that, so I came in to diagnose. I wasn't able to remedy the issue at the track so the 2:01 lap was the best I could do that day.
This was set at Round 8 of the 2021 Nissan Challenge hosted by SpeedVentures. This lap was an improvement on my previous Class 4 track record by 2 seconds!
I'm hoping to fix my issues with the car and come back soon while the tires are fresh and try to find that last 1.7 seconds of pace.
Thanks as always to Annex Suspension Group for providing the ClubSpec Pro Coilovers that made this lap possible!
