We brought our brand new 2023 BRZ out to a NASA weekend to get a baseline stock lap at the ECR 2.7 CCW course, so we could compare times to this later. We had run our C6 in TT2 on Saturday but had brake issues, so we brought the BRZ out on Sunday to run in TT5 (Terry, 1 session) and HPDE4 (Amy). We started at the back of the 22 car TT grid so we wouldn't hold anyone up, in what should be the slowest car of the session.

Turns out there were a lot of cars that wanted to start behind us, then go like hell on lap 1 and bunch up with the back of the field, so our first hot lap was highly compromised. One of the TT6 Miatas also spun off track ahead of us, then tried like mad to get back around us to play "lead follow" games with another TT6 Miata. They held us up for 3 laps, and we had to settle for the 2:16.451 lap with some traffic ahead slowing us up a bit. 

One of the more frustrating Time Trial weekends in years, with far too much clownery on both days in every TT session. At this event it was literally impossible to get a clear lap in any session in either car on either day, even in the 4th quickest car of the weekend when gridded up front. I look forward to the changes promised by the TT director for 2023!
