Default Re: 02.22.2009 [Circuitschool/Circuitcross #1] VIR - Patriot Course

Hey man, didn't mean to bash on ya and you were not the only car to lose it in the pace laps. The white Integra also looped it right in front of me. I'm sure that car is a handful, that much power with R-comps in the rain is a bad idea. I only have about 350hp and It's hard to keep the r-comps from breaking loose under axeleration even in the dry. They are made for lateral grip more than straight ahead axceleration. At Speed (HPDE) it's a little easier than the patriot type event where you are on the throttle a lot trying to get the mass of the car moving. Don't get discouraged, and keep thinking about the basics and try not and overdrive the car. It's easy to be fast with 450 hp, but harder to be in control. You need both to cross the finish line in one piece... Last year in the rain, a Subie hit the wall at the pit entrance, totaled the car and put a big dent in his checkbook...
