Quick video of my personal FL5 at Gridlife Chicagoland 2025. This was my fastest lap of the weekend despite this really just not being a great lap. This was only my 2nd attempt at a fast lap and this ended up being my best lap just because the track and weather conditions were the best of the weekend.
This car is my daily driver/ development vehicle and this is actually the first time I have tracked this car period. By the end of the weekend I had the balance of the car dialed in, but in 3 or 4 spots of this track that are super low speed I either was blowing the front tires off in 3rd, or if i went to 4th the car was completely dead for a few seconds waiting for the turbo to spool. With a few small changes to the setup and better tires that are more to todays standard, This car could have ran in the 1:30 range for sure. Even the optimal for this subpar session was a 1:31.5.
