2023 BRZ at Thunderhill West - 1:29.1 on Primacy HP
Was really hoping to do a 28 on the Primacies but couldn't quite make it. I felt pretty rusty at West and made just a few too many mistakes in this lap. Still, a full 3 seconds faster on this setup than when I first got the car, so happy about that!

2023 BRZ at Thunderhill East Bypass - 2:06.7 lap
Просмотров 14112 часов назад
The first half of this lap was pretty weak, just driving too conservatively in T1, T3 and T5. But I made up some time in the last few corners, with good exits from T11 and T14. The car can definitely do 2:05s with PB weather like this and a better lap. Next time! 2023 BRZ pads/fluid minor front camber mods 225 GT Radial SX2 on 17x8 wheels (30 HC and chunked)

2023 BRZ at Laguna Seca - 1:48.5 on Primacy HP

Second time at Laguna and first time in dry conditions. On the OEM Primacy tires which have comically low grip but are very enjoyable to drive. The car feels almost perfectly neutral and demands a more delicate touch than on stickier tires. Laguna is a very enjoyable track, even in a low HP car. The line is fairly straightforward so you can just work on honing your base driving skills. Complete...

New favorite track! Buttonwillow CCW is so exciting to drive. I was quite slow to learn the track and didn't post a very good time, but I believe I can go much faster next time with a few tweaks. This lap was set in the last session of the day and was good enough for P4 in Norcal 86 Challenge stock class. 2023 Subaru BRZ (86Challenge stock class) 225 GT Radial SX2 (15 HC) on 17x8 wheels -2.4F/-...

Pretty sloppy driving all day, but still had a lot of fun and enjoyed close competition! The best lap was a 2:08.0 in the first session, but didn't get it on video. The first lap in this vid is a 2:08.4, which was a better lap anyway, but lost 0.8s passing the Miata in T5. I also included a lap from later in the day when the track was blazing hot, but I was still sending hard. 0:00 - 2:08.4 lap...
2023 BRZ at Sonoma Raceway - 1:56.3
Просмотров 4205 месяцев назад
Tried out several changes on the car including more front negative camber with Pedders top hats and a OEM-style duckbill spoiler. Also got new tires, which feel like super glue compared to my old cycled-out set. Balance was still terminal understeer, but managed a solid PB despite the hot weather. Might try a GR86 rear bar next time to help with the balance. I also think square brake pad compou...

2023 BRZ - Thunderhill West Reverse 5/4
Просмотров 1807 месяцев назад
Really enjoyed the reverse direction of Thunderhill West. Compared to the normal direction, the esses section has a more interesting flow to it in a lower horsepower car. T2 is also fun because you can brake insanely late due to the camber and uphill. T7 becomes extremely tricky due to the curved braking zone and double downshift. If you mess that corner up, the lap is pretty much gone. Overall...
Thunderhill East Open Test Day Highlights (2023 BRZ)
Просмотров 1559 месяцев назад
Trying to improve my car control skills on a wet test day at Thunderhill. tl;dr I still suck, but slowly getting more comfortable with the car. Next time I'll try more experimentation with alternative lines. I might be imagining it, but it feels like there's a noticeable drop-off in grip on most corner exits where cars are laying down rubber in the dry. A few learnings: - It's difficult to prec...
A lap of Sonoma Raceway in a 2023 BRZ (1:57.3)
Просмотров 15710 месяцев назад
Here's my best lap at a buttery-smooth repaved Sonoma. Grip felt like a mixed bag, with some corners clearly having more grip than before (carousel exit, T11), while others almost felt like they had less than before (T4, T7). Lap times were overall faster though, and pushing hard felt much less sketchy than before with the car bouncing all over the place. I only got around 5 clean laps for the ...
A lap around Laguna Seca in the Rain (2023 BRZ)
Просмотров 47510 месяцев назад
Driving in the rain once again proves to be very fun and even more instructive than a dry day. Compared to last time at Thunderhill, I felt much more comfortable exploring the limits of grip, especially on corner exit. This lap (2:03.3) was set in the second session. Given this was my first time at Laguna, I still don't understand the line very well. I was braking way too conservatively for T1 ...

First time doing 86DC and had a great time. Shaved 1.6 seconds off my previous PB, so very happy with that. Unfortunately the speed data is kind of lagged out despite using an external GPS. The second half of this lap was pretty solid, and I don't think I could have gone much faster at my current skill level. I did lose around 0.5s in T1 and T2 compared to my best execution. Most of the lap tim...
you're absolutely flying! what was your reasoning for 4th gear through t3/4/5?
Thanks Jason! I experimented a bit with gearing and found that I’m no quicker there in 3rd. Plus 4th is a bit better for oil P? Often times I find when a corner has multiple gear options, I usually overslow the entry if I downshift.
@bpt582 if oil pressure is the case for 4th then yikes 😬
damn bmw drivers
More German performance than they can handle
Great job pushing hard and banking in the lap with just a tiny window to do so. Your car control in damp conditions was amazing, I think I was way more afraid of the limit than you were. Congrats on the P2 and being so close to P1, if those BMW drivers could drive or stay out of your way you could have easily won it outright.
Great drive!
T9 entry looked too narrow, looked like you missed the apex and lost your exit
Yeah definitely. I tried tapping the brakes there to rotate the car but you can see at the end of the video that didn’t work too well either lol
@@bpt582 I actually compromised my corkscrew slightly to ensure I opened up t9. Probably lose 0.1-2 on the drag to t9 but then you probably gain like 0.3-0.5 back
that is crazy balls to wall man. impressive!
Thanks Jay! I was giving it everything for sure haha. Hope to meet you out there soon
Heelllll yeah brudda
Yoooo ... very nice lap. That's what's up.
OONGA BOONGA
you definitely had a lot more fun than I did LOL
I was just thinking I managed to almost perfectly replicate your spin in T1 lol
