Glad you enjoyed. Think you'll do anymore mods before your next event?

Day Laborer, I was there in my LBB one in B group. I have a video where I was trying to chase you down through traffic. You were bottled up in traffic, I caught up then I got caught in traffic. Will try to post it and put a link here.


rjn, I also have a video where you pass me (like I am standing still) and leave me very quickly. Nice driving! Will post that on July 2.

Hope to see you both back at VIR in October.

Just got back from the Audi club event at VIR this weekend and had a blast. A few upgrades/changes from the spring event. I wore through the RS-29s in 12 days which I was pretty happy about and OG racing recommended the PFC 08s as lasting longer for about $50 cheaper. So with a fresh set of those, a fresh brake fluid flush with Motul 600 and a new set of TRM 18s with Hankook RS4s I was able to set a new personal best of 2:13.75 on the full course. Of course Harry's didn't manage to get video of that session so the below vid is from a previous session. I think there's still more speed to be carried and time to be gained from the esses through Oak tree. Still working on my heel toe so definitely losing time in that braking zone. Also trying a new line with much later turn in to both rollercoaster and hog pen that gets me on the gas much sooner coming out of both. Feedback always welcome.

Dont remember what it was called but it was some little race car like a radical but not. Guy was on his first event with it and having a lot of trouble.

@niceboss23

Nice driving!

Agree it looks like a radical. Should be about 8-12 seconds faster than An M2 around that track.

They are absolutely amazing.

Thanks man. Been working on VIR for a few years now. Still think there's more time/speed to carry through the esses and hog pen but after crashing in T8 im still just a little gunshy and ultimately we're not racing so I'm pretty happy with the shiny side up and a few seconds slower.

It isn't a Radical exactly but I forget what the name of it is. It was something like a BMT, BST... some three letter acronym. But yes it should have been much faster than it was.
