Thanks Bill!
3.55 worked great with 25" diameter tires, but not so much with 26-27". So I went up to 3.73.
But I haven`t adjusted my driving to the gearing yet, throwing me off a lot. A test and tune days to play with shift patterns and collect date would have fixed most my issues.

I had the same problem with gearing the last time out with 305/680 and 3.73s and needing to go to 5th twice. I think the right ratio for me would be 3.55s with a 660 tall slick. Aside from the gearing, only suggestions I have are to grab 2nd a tick earlier and don't drop the tire going into the skid pad. But I think you know that already. Great driving otherwise!

You guys are really getting a lot of time at the Charlotte Roval...maybe you should get a discount!

Wow, your video really does accentuate how bumpy Willow Springs is! Plenty of my friends in Cali and the West mention this is the track that has the greatest pucker factor ---more than Laguna, Sonoma, Buttonwillow, or Thunderhill? So, doesn't sound like your feelings on Turn 8 are unfounded?

Very intimidating track. I need to go back now that I have a lot more seat time in general and at WSIR in the sim...plus better equipment.

Improving at Gingerman.

5.5 seconds faster than 350R street car on R7s...wooooooo
 
Roval is a good time! Scary track thanks to all the walls... I ran track night in america last night with no chicanes and coming into turn one at 150+ with literally 5 foot of runoff before you hit the barrier will make you pucker!

Ran with "Dave's Race" yesterday, raising money for ALS. 91 Degrees in June with plenty of humidity made for some greasy tires after a few laps. This was on my 2nd lap while they were still nice and tacky, first time on slicks! These had 10-12 HC on them...

New PB at Gingerman. 1:42
Previous was 1:45. Now that I added MCS coilovers I went 1:44 off the trailer 1st session, 1:43 second session, 1:42 Third session.....then the rain came. :-( predictor says 1:37 is my optimum. I know 1:40 is possible for sure. I have to trust the new found grip! We will see.....
MCS FTW!

Nice setup. I am at a 1:43 with my GT-350 on FP springs and sways, camber plates set at -2 up front and -1.5 out back. On Toyo proxes R888R. Definitely more there to go as I was being too easy braking as my track pads were almost gone in front that weekend.

5:45 begins me running down 3 cars in 3 laps and running laps only a second off my fastest. The last 30 seconds or so is the best. How to pass in turn 17.



But my fastest lap today beat my 2017 time on pirelli by 11 whole seconds! 2:38.96.

I only know Gingerman well of the tracks you posted. All I can say is, that was the most exhausting video I have seen! You were WORKING hard to keep her on the track! Everywhere! You must have been tired after that! OMG! Way to go! Thats a wild ass horse you got there! So fun! Nice job!
