HPDE Lapping in traffic
Every once and a while you come across a gathering of cars all traveling a bit slower than yourself. Passing practice!
Here's two minutes of me passing:

Sweet!
I saw like 4-5 SS 1LE's there. Saw one ZL1-1LE and a regular ZL1. What color you got there! How's the lap times?

There was one of the instructors in the advanced group in a grey 2019 RS that was tearing it up. I was in the beginner group, only my second event. I managed a 2:44.31 as a new personal best. getting point-bys from the McLaren 650s in the group was pretty neat but that thing left me for dead in the straights. |

Heyy nice driving there!!
That's a cooking lap time considering you were in the Beginner group. It's usually difficult to get clean laps with slower traffic. Yours = 2:44.31 Mine = 2:47.52 in intermediate I have more work to do!!

Looked like everybody was wide of the apex in the left-hander at about 0:35 and 1:40, which compromises entry into the following right-hander a bit. Was there a reason for this that isn't apparent in the video?

I worry that egos might increase in intermediate and advance and you get some chuckleheads that don't want to let you by. I find that in the two events I have done the beginner group has GREAT manners on track. Last edited by Akirasoft; 06-05-2019 at 10:48 AM. |

Thanks for watching The spot at 0:35 sec i was backing off the M2 cuz i damn near punted him off in the braking zone. The apex @ 1:40 was me following the Mustang's bad line lol I'll find my hot lap of the day and see if that one looks any better
