@Black Boss that puts you at the top of the BMO leaderboard for DIS!

Now get yourself a better camera and mic! :)
That's cause the 21 with Low Drag package didn't go.
Great run Nick, the 911 looked very quick, I thought you were gonna catch him at first but he was fast everywhere.

Gotta love getting passed by a stock car on a stock car track. ;D

Nice driving and that looks like FUN!

Nice driving. Is CW or CCW faster around the track?

The times come out roughly the same either direction, but CCW "feels" faster because there are more increasing-radius corners.
It wouldn't be fair to compare these to our times from a few years ago running CW for quite a few reasons.

Good lap Nick, I saw the 151 on the back, Harry's video had it at 149. You look smooth out there and the red GT3 cost you at least .5 seconds.
Steve
Thanks!

Yes -- it's weird, the Harry's overlay showed 149, but the Harry raw data showed 151. I think the overlay lost data for a while as the Harry's video also shows full Throttle through the Rollercoaster and Hogpen -- I'm not that brave ???

The good news as usual AIM and Harry's were within 1/100 on Laptime; AIM 2:06.80, Harry's 2:06.81 -- amazing for a $25 App!

Lap time: 1:17.310 (AMB transponder loop during NASA race weekend) new TT3 lap record

This was the first time running this car on a new 335/345mm tire setup, and we had some major issues with the AdvanceTrac all weekend. My best lap was with the AdvanceTrac system in fault, applying rear brakes in corners, it was a total mess. We replaced the OEM ABS module with a Ford Raicng unit the next week and all of those issues went away.

This car was run at 3802 pounds to meet the 9:1 power to weight ratio of TT3 class (there was a lot of ballast on board)

Sebring this past weekend. By far not the fastest time on this thread at 2:38, but for stock dampers, stock brake calipers and used 275 width Continentals on all four corners, I'll take it.
