CT5-V Blackwing at PittRace - 1:57.32
This wasn't a great lap, but I managed to beat my PB from yesterday by nearly a second. Most of that time was made up on the back straight, and comparing the two laps a mid 1:56 is certainly possible with this car. The fast lap doesn't start until 8:50 in the video.

My first trip to PittRace with the Blackwing and this was my best lap of day 1. The fast lap starts around the 2 min mark. The car is stock other than a track alignment.
Soft brake pedal ZR1
Просмотров 666Год назад
I was having a nice discussion with someone about why you need to flush the brake fluid - especially the stock fluid. This was the first lap on track in my then new C7 ZR1 with the OEM brake fluid. The brake meter shows pedal position, and as you can see, the pedal went 2/3 of the way to the floor braking for T1 after leaving pit lane. Always make sure to flush your brake fluid and use a high q...
Cadillac V-Club at VIR

This turned out to be my fastest laps of the weekend, but still a couple of seconds off my PB in the CT5-V Blackwing. I gridded up behind John Heinricy in his CT4-V Blackwing race car and did my best to hang on with very cold tires.

A few laps in the CT4-V Blackwing
Просмотров 5042 года назад
Huge thanks to my friend for letting me take his 2023 CT4-V Blacking out for a few laps at Summit Point. The car was incredibly easy to drive fast and while these weren't max effort laps I was consistently turning high 1:25's bone stock with a passenger. Look for an upcoming video where I'll break down the data and compare the 4BW to it's bigger brother the 5BW.

Since it's Independence Day in America I thought I'd post a little track video from this past week with the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing. The lack of seat time this year is showing in my driving so no new best laps but the car felt great on track. Turn it up and listen to 668 HP of 'Murica!

Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing First Track Day - Part 1
I don’t think I ever did this configuration when I raced bikes but idk if I would have been faster. Definitely not in my car I’m so slow
Wow nice
Decent lap times with all that traffic.
What happened to this car? No videos in over a year. 😢
Hey Jeremy - all is well and thanks for checking in. Life has gotten in the way of getting to the track much this past year. I did manage a 1:14.2 at Summit Point this Summer, but no new personal bests to share. Unfortunately, I have a driveline issue that has the car down. No worry though - Katech will have me fixed up in time for next season.
Any tips on Challenger Hellcat settings ?
Awesome car, imagine if they added the hybrid 150hp system from the corvette e-ray to this car, AWD with 800hp+, that would be one hell of a car
Great video! I have a Gen 6 Camaro with PDR. I've been using a Garmin Catalyst which is great but doesn't have some of the features shown in this software. Onto my question though... has anyone tried this with a Chromebook? I only have Apple products at home. I'm willing to invest money for a new laptop or chromebook but want to keep cost to a minimum. Thoughts anyone? Thanks in advance!!!
Really late response on my part, but the Pi Toolbox only works on Windows. You can download the Cosworth "AliveDrive Race" app which should be available in the Apple and Google Play stores, but it's going to be a limited set of capability compared to Pi.
Torn between one of these and having a daily w/ a C7 GS. This is just such a big car. Does the weight and size ever bother you? Great videos!
You can feel the extra wheelbase more than anything. It still handles well though. As with any 4100 lb car you're going to use up tires and brakes, although I found the stock PS4 tires to be very good and actually heat cycle out before they wear out. I am super tempted to sell mine and buy a 25 with the Precision Package.
love the car
Hello, Great video, thank you! When I create a map, everything is fine. However, how can I define sectors? My Split Report shows 1 sector. Thank you.
I believe I covered that in this video - ruclips.net/video/9FXMzesdwMg/видео.htmlsi=wWCUU8jKiHcJrBgP. It's on an older version of Pi, but the concept is the same. You need to right click on the map and pick edit, then you can right click on the map and insert segment break.
When you had the CT5BW in the air; were you able to identify a front jack point under the engine? Similar to what was found on previous V models?
The service manual says you can jack it by the front cross member. I've done it a few times, but have used two points and not solely from the center of that member.
@@HiPoDriver Thanks, I’ve been hunting for that diagram from the manual. When I’ve checked the center brace it’s covered by that aluminum shield unlike the CT5-V (non Blackwing) who have a rubber lift block at the center point.
Any plans to bring the Corvette GS back to Pittsburgh (Pitt Race) this year?
I just loaded the GS in the trailer for another event at Summit Point this week. If everything goes well, I'll start looking for events at PittRace and VIR.
Where did you mount your Garmin? I have issues maintaining satellite connection if too far into most cars away from the windshield. Thanks
Somewhere I have a picture of how I mounted it. I'll post it up on Instagram @hipo_driver
looks like you can carry more speed thru the chute and turn 10 that will def get you down to 1:12
What tires? Nice driving
The lap timer starts way after the line.
The finish line is set right where the line is across the track on the front straight. There is a small delay before the actual time shows on the video overlay.
What camera or app is that
It's the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) option from the factory.
What happened to this beast? Haven’t seen any videos in some time.
We had a motor issue last July, so the car was down for a while. I just got it back and did a shake down last week. I plan to have it back at the track in early June and hope to post more after that.
Well, that looks fun. You were kicking his butt in the turns. I’ll be instructing there next month.
this is no help hardly any one has a trailer like that
What's the highest lateral G's you have seen on Cosworth? On street I've only got to 1.29g
Highest peak is 1.8g on Michelin slicks, but those instantaneous peaks are misleading. Highest sustained is around 1.6g
Good lord, that car is so fast on the straights
That car really was a beast and I miss it. In the hands of someone with more experience at WGI it certainly would've had a better lap time.
Your lap times were just fine!!!@@HiPoDriver
Same spot lol
How about a Stock SS 1LE vs 458? PB at the point in the SS 1LE is a 1:21.87. ruclips.net/video/YH1sOxztEyE/видео.html
I just downloaded the app and followed all the steps. Mine looks slightly different maybe because I’m using a newer iOS version but I was unsuccessful at looking at my side by side data and video. The app won’t recognize or sync side by side as in if I load 2 outings. It won’t compare the two and I can’t see laps. A few of the features that shows in your video isn’t on my app. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
They have made a lot of changes to the app since I made this video in 2020. Let me take a look and see if I can figure out the issue. I should really do an updated version with the current app.
Thanks for the video. It's frustrating that even 3 years in there is no real support from Cosworth or manual on this and Pi Toolbox for PDR. I've not had any issues uploading sessions to the app on either the phone or iPad, but have not been able to create a track (the options are grayed out). Any ideas you have are welcomed!
Are you talking about Pi Toolbox, or AliveDrive Race? That video is about the latter and they are very different products. I'll have to try and create a map file in AliveDrive and see if I can replicate your problem.
@@HiPoDriver yes it was AliveDrive. Whenever I would pull up the Create Track menu, the only thing I would get is the ability to change track name. The "Done" at the bottom is grayed, and there is a light blue or gray bar under the Name. Other than that, it's empty.
I got my c7 zr1 a few months back. About 5 days after I got it, I was at the track (CMP). After a few very slow warm up laps, I started a .6 tenths lap. Going into turn 8, brake pedal went nearly to the floor. Luckily I was able to still slow it down just enough to negotiate the turn. Limped back to the pits. Lost the brakes completely in the garages at about 5mph. Totally agree with you on the crappy stock fluid. Changed it to SRF, and have had 5 successful track days since.
To hit those G's in a 4 door saloon is insane. The weight they carry is closer to "untamable". We just witnessed a pilot
The car is incredibly easy to drive fast for the mass it has.
Can i scren shot
happy that the zr1 are back !!! still the GSR is my fav corvette to this date. keep posting please
Thank this is great for learning the track
Get a real splitter on that thing! Makes a huge difference in the aero balance with the wing on the back. We call our Grand Sport a GS.R also, I love the name. We are in NH maybe next year we can meet at PittRace and see how our compare:)
Nice driving as usual. The Blackwing is pretty impressive for a stock sedan.
May I ask what kind of event this was called? Friday at the track or something else?
I believe that was a Chin track day.
I've missed your videos!
Glad you like them!
SRF or Motul?
That was with the stock fluid which I knew wasn't up to much track duty. I did expect it to make a couple of laps though.
Absolutely love the ZR1!
You've taught me everything I know about Pi Toolbox. Thank you! I'm trying to use your PDR1 workbooks, but am having issues. My sessions were at Watkins Glen, but the Maps tab still shows Summit Point maps. The Compare tab also is only loading values from one of the sessions, but not the other. This is odd since the data loads fine into an older workbook I have which I created following your older videos.
The map issue is an easy fix. Go up to "map on the menu bar, then load. Then pick the map file for WGI. If you've not created a map file (.pxt file), see the video I made on creating map files from outings. Hope this helps!
@@HiPoDriver Thanks for posting all these! I changed my map successfully but the menu bars in each of the map windows still say "[Compare Laps] - Summit Point Main". Can't for the life of me find where to edit that so I can name it to my new map/track.
@@spearfish25 it should update automatically, but if you click on the display and hit F2 a dialog will pop up to let you edit the display name.
hi. what's the difference between pi toolbox and diablo? thnks
I am not familiar with diablo
Hi. Thnks for the video. I would ask you how that software can works with a wind tunnel? Thank you
I don't think 1000 AMH is correct for being full-stiff for your Corvette with factory Magride. I know you now have their shocks, but I wanted to point that out. It is more in the range of 1900F. I am on my 2nd controller with my 3rd vehicle. You can go higher but it depends on other settings. Typically 1600 is all you would ever want to go on fronts and around the 1300 range max for the rear depending on spring settings. 1100 is comfortable for the rear depending on other tables. I just wanted to point that out. I also had discussions with Tom, Mike, and Jeremey before his departure.
OK, thanks for the clarification. That was initially what I thought as well, but I specifically asked Mike that question before I made the video and that is what he told me. It's possible we had a misunderstanding on the question.
In Tom’s video from DSC he talked about zeroing out the G force. What advantage or disadvantage would doing that have?
I believe you're referring to the G comfort zone. That's an area that prevents the shocks from stiffening up under low G loads. It's meant to improve ride comfort on the road, but on track you might get a floaty feeling on the straights. I zero it out in track mode.
Just watched the video again and you mentioned changes in the brake table to help reduce ice mode what kind of adjustment did you do that helped?
I find that slowing the rate at which the front stiffens under heavy braking helps get more weight on the nose. That in turn helps the ABS from immediately engaging which can trigger ice mode.
@@HiPoDriver interesting I was thinking the opposite as the ice mode will happen more often if the my adjustable rear sway bar is set stiffer. Lowering the rear of the car has made it worse as well. When I get ice mode it happens immediately without the abs pulsing. I have felt the abs pulses on hard braking on road course.
Do you accept friends on Garmin Catalyst? I need your lines to compare
Sure, send me a request. Although, I didn't have the Garmin in the Blackwing at this last event.
Why am I getting a “the following file cannot be imported” and I can see the files in message# and they appear to have loaded in the app
I don't understand what you are saying. Hit me up on FB messenger and ideally post a screen shot of what you're seeing.
THE John Heinricy? Wow, pretty cool.
there's more time in there at T1. squeeze in the throttle rather than coasting through the turtles at T1 apex
Really, this is the process to try to set it up to compare lap times and comparison data? You lost me at least by the time where you define distance in meters when all I am interested in is MPH and other similar US based data. Also my 2023 Pi toolbox does not have the same paths that you reference here. Thanks for trying. I guess it works for others. I got some data channels to list but they never graphed.
Hi Dave. You might want to check out the 2022 version of this video I did. It is significantly easier than it was 5 years ago. ruclips.net/video/rgO3wMLyeaY/видео.html
You need to get a new microphone.
