Lakeside Laps V20 - Sunday 13 October 2013

[Machine]

Here is part2/2.

At 2:30, well done exiting Karousel And you had good speed through the hats.
The next couple laps you had a beautiful entry from the straight, but mucked-up the exit IMO, tipping in early. Although you did hug the apex strip nicely on the RH side

Too bad I only passed you on the last lap. I would've pushed it harder with you following but I always prefer to slow down and not touch the brakes to let them cool.

That's not idle banter! You're talking about lines. That's awesome!
Let me add to the discussion: 8:25 - you linked up Karousel beautifully (and you knew it), but I didn't see it happen again
In general, I'd like to see you using more of the track width. Tighter entries and let your exits wash out.

What's that annoying chime sound coming out of the cones? Which gear are you in? Should be third and slingshotting much quicker out of there. Treat it like a corner.
Who's your co-pilot?

After revisiting the video...I can plainly see what you me by "linking" the corner up. It did feel right with minimal effort.
The annoying sound is the built in speed warning. I've got it set to 60km/h...just a friendly reminder when I'm on the road

I was exiting the cones very slowly. I was very paranoid about hitting them as Doug made it clear: " hit cone, close session".
From my Harry's fottage I was leaving the cones at about 40km/h

My co-pilot was my mate Briggsy, all round nice guy and car lover. His heart is betroved to his Triton...no hot hatch for him...yet.

Carl, I haven't yet seen your video but do recall following you, as Ben said, use all the black stuff you can, an extra feet or two of width makes a huge difference on entry and exit.

I will take your observations to heart and use more track...I'll have to get some more pointers when we meet up again

Yes I find linking up the carousel and the top of eastern loop (I think that's what it's called) most difficult when finding the correct line. I do enjoy hungry the most though especially being pushed into the ground from the way the corner is designed.

I really should know the corner names by now

Doug put the fear in you, eh Karl? Cone fear. That's the worst. I don't fear the cones.

Fantastic video guys...loving it!! Great to see that in the spirit of happy laps there were a lot of thoughtful and courteous drivers out there.

Hitting cones meant something very different when I was younger

Never heard of that. How long ago were you younger?

You need to keep an eye out when the thread goes up and book in. Only 25 get on track. If you are not on the list you are not on the track.

Hahaha. Read the original post, mate. I organised this one and I'm running the next one in Nov. There's another thread for it.
Clay's coming back in Dec.

[shinygti]

Sweet thanks will be back for that one for sure

What type of contribution to the forum are you looking for?

I think with over 1000 posts you would be ok . it is a social event so people should talk on the forum
