Mr. Jones Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Not on raw time. I had a 53.5 raw, fastest in the RTR class, but with PAX I got put into third. You would have beat me as well with PAX. One of the black BMW's almost took us out on turn 4 in the morning, got us old folks movin pretty good..

Draco-REX Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 @:27 way too wide of a line after the slalom, you're car (from what I've heard) rotates very nicely and you could have taken a tighter line there (you'll see on my vid when I post tonight) I tried it tight and I had to dump speed for the "bridge" because the front started pushing. @:39 too wide again, get in on that cone so you can let the car 'track out' more for the pinch cone You can hear my tires squealing through that turn. Any tighter and it'd start pushing again. The understeer was like a switch. Once it flipped I had to back off to get the front to turn in again. So I had to stay under that point to keep the car neutral. @:53 braking too early, carry a little more speed and try and get the car to rotate again for the pinch cone there too I might have been able to do this, but at this point on the course I had "aggressive entry = understeer" hammered into me so I went for a smoother line. heard you go to 1st for the 2 180's.....seemed like the car was really 'twitchy' and you may have been better off just keeping it in tight and 'just getting through' the finish....... This part was more working around the engine. The two 180s were a little fast for 1st and a little slow for 2nd. In 2nd gear the car was right in the torque valley and was slow getting through the corners. If they were slower, or faster I'd have been able to stay in 2nd. My .02 Absolutely appreciate it. The first bits of the suspension arrived today. I hope to make it to one or both of the events in October and I'll try more aggressive entries once I get some negative camber on the car. I think I was getting enough weight transfer that the outside front was going very positive. I should have felt the temps across the tire, but didn't think of it. It's funny that my corner entries are being pointed at. In RallyX a fast aggressive corner entry is mandatory for a turbo car so the driver can get on the gas sooner and get the turbo spooled for exit. Usually that hurts in AutoX and with the BRZ being a "momentum car" I've been working on smoothing out my corners and trying to carry speed, rather than just diving in.

Brrcats Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Yeah, RTR is a PAX class. Are you going to stay RTR or get some slicks for SS? Not sure, I know I dont really stand a chance in SS without slicks, but I'm not really in a position to buy a set since I just dropped $1700 on the street tires I have on here now. http://www.ovr-scca.org/gallery/photos/Autocross/2012/PE08%2008-19-2012%20Peter%20Bedrosian/20120819-ovr_points_8-1305.jpg ah, I remember seeing you, had the cool blue mirrored visor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
