Sunday 5/21/2023 AutoInterests 3rd advanced morning session at 10:50am.
Unfortunately this was the fastest lap that I managed to do at PittRace but there are many others who have gone faster in an SS 1LE on the same stock tires like this 1:56 lap which was the best I could find beforehand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhgABecluxs
All weekend I felt like I was fighting the car through the middle section of this track (turns 8-14) or going too slow through that section and I'm not sure why. I was getting a lot more oversteer through there than usual both on entries and exits. Maybe it was because the edges of my tires were heavily worn. The sunny weather and increasing ambient/track temperature throughout the day (plus heavy traffic in the shortened first morning session when conditions were best) didn't help either. Maybe the middle section of this track is better suited to lighter cars or heavy cars with stickier tires or maybe I just needed to use a different driving technique. Maybe I would have figured it out with more video/data review and another day at this track but I'm not sure.
The car definitely could have done a lap in the 1:59s during this session but I think I was braking a little bit early because of the Mustang in front of me plus I had not yet built up the confidence to go through turn 16 at 130mph (which would not have worked on this lap anyways because of the Mustang in front of me).
My first weekend driving at PittRace. Unfortunately it rained all morning on Saturday so I had less time than I would have liked to build up pace at this track.
