    Simon.. I have to admit without the kink the ups and downs on that straight left me a bit light in the shorts at times!

    Thanks Martin! Those are great pics. They really show how squishy the front end is on my car. Gotta look into where most of it is. Yesterday all I wanted to do was sell the thing. But it will be more interesting to figure it out first.

    The DDT is a genious layout for learning. Those perfectly placed elevation changes really teach you not o make mistakes like mine. Lifted like a chicken buk buk bawk!

    Martyn, looks like I got data for most of my runs. Using my old phone with a cheap slow SD card in it made the app shut down video recording. It couldnt write to the card fast enough. When I have time I will try to overlay and sync the data with my gopro footage.

    Kicking myself for not clearing my better card in time to use it. The phone camera got a lot of reflection from the dash in that position anyways. So as long as the data syncs up with the other footage it's a win.

    Another great lapping event with SPDA! Organizers and volunteers were awesome, as always!

    Agreed, good save! Try for a late apex just at the end/after the concrete and then it's flat over crest. Way to make the next corner after the crest!

    PS: we teach 9 and 3

    Thanks! Yes I started to figure out the later apex and staying on the throttle from the concrete curbing until coming down from the crest was working for me. Need more practice on that section. Looking at your avatar I think it was you I tried to follow through that sectionin this video. http://youtu.be/OziFmKV9wKE Got in a little deeper that time lol

    And I did check myself on the ridiculous hand misplacements. The first part of that video was my second run of the day.

    My guess is that was Trevor driving, since I wasn't in many of the Coaches sessions, and I don't remember passing Mel on track. We have to grab 5t:h before the first left crest without the kink else we sometimes bang off the Rev limiter in 4th as we get light on the other side. Then if the front end bites on the right kink we hold revs near 7000 in 5th as we go over the right crest at the end of the straight. Key is waiting for turn in for that right part and dialing the steering in a bit quicker rather than the nice smooth arc you're doing. The fast input feels wrong, but it puts you on the right angle over the hump. I'd Crap my pants if I entered it from the left side of the track because we're still sliding left after the late apex.

    Hi, got any pictures with my 2008 Forester XT? I Pm'd you my email address. I'm not sure what SPDA's facebook page is as I can't find it.

    Thanks

    Okay I get that. Need to get out there and practice it. Do you have any youtube videos up? Sounds like a wild ride!

    A few days late to say this, but thanks to everyone involved for organizing a great day at the track!

    I had a very productive day... I managed to improve my lap time quite a bit!

    This is still uploading: http://youtu.be/t9xmCUD9poU

    This is the OTA ShootOut last year with only one hot lap allowed, so, no time to get heat into the tires. You can hear that I had to hold throttle before the right turn before crest. I usually take it a bit later than I did on this lap, and I normally go across the crest at an angle.

    Looks WAY slower than the current smaller BorgWarner EFR 7670 turbo with 1.05 hotside. Wasted 0.5 seconds at the end of the lap with that clumsy route through the last chicane... Please just pay attention to the first time I went through it.

    We didn't take video or data this weekend, since it was just a shakedown for CSCS on Sunday with the 3kg softer spring rates.

    Looks like you're turning in a bit later than I've been doing, I felt like the line in this video was working, but I'll have to try pushing the turn further down to see how that works too.

    It varies by car of course; front/rear grip, front/rear aero lift, speed carried. You definitely seem to have better balance than Simon and I did on that day. I definitely feel more comfortable with the line of the car in front of you on lap 2.
