/\/\/\ WOW that’s a thirsty engine

Yep. RA is rough on brakes and fuel. I went through a set of pads in a weekend. I also ran out of fuel in the carousel. My daughter was in the car with me and yes she has let a month go by without reminding me, once. I can be a slow learner. Now I never trust the gauge, I do the math and fill up frequently.

BTW, your car looks fantastic.

2.75 MPG?!?!?

Crazy!

2.75

This might be the first time in my life that I've felt happy getting 4.1mpg.

Seems that running full 30 minute sessions at many tracks may be a problem. Particularly at a roval course where the banking can cause fuel starvation issues. Any ideas on how to resolve?

 

[VoodooBoss]

Looking good. I like the red wheels.

 

[Tob]

Any updates?

Here's a video, not the fastest lap, although the traffic gives some perspective. (Working with Racelogic to fix the CAN Bus channels).

I was there with Chin, great event as always, but the track went from Awful to poor in terms of grip, not having been used for 7 months.

Still learning the car, but initial impressions exceeded my expectations. Acceleration is spectacular, the Transmission is flawless in Track Auto mode and the Brakes are fantastic, with no fade late in a session, even using the OE (Brembo) pads. I looked at the brake traces and this 4100lb car brakes as well as my 3300lb Race car with AP Brakes, race ABS and Pagid Pads -- a huge achievement!

There were a couple of well driven GT3RS' at the track, and this car was very evenly matched. It's better under braking and the medium-higher speed corners, but losses a little in the slow stuff -- although that may be me still learning the car.

Mid Ohio is not a power track, I fully expect the car to be even stronger, at its next venue: Road America over July 4th weekend

Hi! Are you still using the Racelogic Vbox system? If so, are you getting the CAN signals using their OBDII to CAN cable? I haven’t bought the system yet, but getting close to pulling the trigger for use in my 2020 GT500.

THANKS!

CAN bus signals are not broadcast over the OBD port. Physically tapping the CAN bus is the only solution.
