| How its supposed to be done grant - 9 years ago |
Here's a few laps of Simon Kirkby, head of the Lime Rock Club and hot shoe for hire (coaching), driving my car. Properly.
He's 10 sec faster than me, and i'm now 10 sec faster than i was, thanks to him.

Doing things properly at WGI
If you enjoy that, you can see how i did it an hour or so later:
If the above was doing it properly, must this be ...?

Like most, i over-brake the bus stop. I suppose o could cross out the words "the bus stop" :-)
Do i enter in 4th? Lose some accel through it and into (and out of) the loop? But benefit from not running out of revs on the exit toward the laces?
Of go in in 3rd, stay in it through the loop, then shift ( after he did) to get top end back, then shift back to 4th at the bottom.
Typically i play it safe and stay in 3rd, but in my car that means i have to coast a bit and lose some time, since i'm running out of effective redline.
note my car has a problem that keeps me short shifting, so i lose 15% of max speed in any given gear until fixed.
I suspect he was dealing with the same, in someone else's car.
For the record he pronounced it "sweet handling but a momentum car"
