    VIR Holiday Laps 11/30/18

    It's amazing how many drivers prefer the full circuit over the grand course circuit because they don't know how to drive the turns and esses vs. drag racing the straights. The fun part about being on the road course is pushing it through the technical aspects of the track with elevation...

    Vorshlag Forgestar CF5 18x11 wheels in Matte Black!

    I’m giving them 90 days from the purchase date to ship those wheels before I would challenge the sale with my Credit Card company. More time than they posted on their website. I hope those crazy long delays are behind them. Really looking forward to running them this season.

    No ABS, no good?

    You want to maintain the use of ABS. Turning off tracking control and active handling on cars equipped with such "nannies" is another thing. I like to turn everything off and have ABS, if needed. Threshold braking is ideal.

    The Art and Science of Attacking the Turns and Esses

    Based on your own experiences.... what were your top 2 or 3 growth areas to improve your speed through the esses and turns, and what did you do to overcome those lessons learned?

    The Art and Science of Attacking the Turns and Esses

    Okay. How many times have you been in a HPDE or TT event where you see very capable performance cars driven poorly in the turns and esses lap after lap with drivers preferring circuit layouts that provide long straightaways vs. more technical turns, esses, elevation changes, and on/off camber...

    Right. Hate to think it takes more than 526 hp to pass some Porsches and Vettes. LOL!
