Very nice times... For reference I pull about 63s in my FC and about 70-71 in the RX8. I'm convinced there's more in the 8 with tires, not 19" rims and manipulating the DSC. I have a set of stock RX8 rims that I may put some race rubber on  .. ITS FC's are doing it in 59-60s.

It really is. THe Miata guys and the ITS guys only lift or brake once and that is for Big Bend.

Yeah.... Are you treating it as a double Apex or as a late Apex one turn?

Hmmmmm... The way I generally take that turn is late braking and FAR FAR FAR right. Let the car settle and turn in. Once the nose is pointing halfway into the Apex stand on the gas and go. The FC will rotate itself, hit the apex and I can put all the power to the ground through the esses and down no-name straight. It scared the ever living shit our of me last year when I had the LRP pipe on, she boost crept to about 17psi and probably about 450rwhp. Scared the shit out of me!

Yes... make sure the car is settled and pointing straight

Fuck that turn! But that's probably because I've been off track there once in a pro Boxster S with a pro driver and I've seen a few people get really loose there. I pucker ALOT but still manage about 150mph before the braking zone

That turn takes some balls in real life also. |
Yes it does!
