i attempt to drive slow cars fast in circles
24 Hours of Lemons at Sonoma 11/23-24 2024 | SLK 230 Automatic
Congrats to the whole team for getting the car out to Sonoma for the race and for rallying to fix the car all of Saturday after a pretty big collision!
First time doing any endurance W2W racing. Definitely have a lot of quirks to work out with the car. Felt like it had worse power delivery coming out of corners than my NA Miata due to the ESP being angry after losing a module in the system after the crash. Can't wait for the next race in May at Thunderhill!

First time out at Laguna Seca was very wet. Lots of rain and slides. Last session of the day it was fairly dry which made for some fun learning.

Last time out at Sonoma before 24 hours of lemons later in November. Switched to V730s from Dunlop ZIIIs. V730s are much more chatty and communicative compared to the heat cycled ZIIIs. Definitely have a lot more pace going up turn 2 and down turn 6 that more seat time will find. Turn 10 and 11 I usually throw away because I don't want to hit the walls.

Driving on veeeery heat cycled dunlop ziiis made for horrible lap times by the end of the day. Not very confidence inspiring through any of the corners lol. First lap is a 2:12 set in the early sessions followed by a 2:13 in the later sessions. Lines got better by the end of the day but the grip was not there to carry more speed. Still wayyy off the pace and it's largely a confidence thing. Was...

HOT day out at THill East made for a challenging day. Only ran the morning sessions as it was 117 degrees by the middle of the day. Grip was gone by the mid-morning once everything warmed up. The Miata is definitely underpowered for THill East. Was very hard to keep with higher HP cars through the fast sections. The insulators in my horn actuator are definitely failing now so the car kept beepi...

Fun time trying out Thunderhill West in reverse with SpeedSF. Pretty interesting layout for a low HP car carrying momentum through the fast corners in the middle of the lap. Wasn't pushing super hard this time, tires and brakes are due for a change and didn't want to risk having to trailer the car back home. SD card issues prevented me from recording a great run with an Integra for most of Sess...

Pushing to stay ahead of the M3 behind. Trying to find some additional pace in braking zones as that's where I lose a LOT of time aaaaand locked up. The more ya know

Second time coming to Thunderhill West (this time with a camera). Still over-braking into all the hairpins - started braking later and harder but ended up locking up and going straight on after turn 1 (oops). Gearing is weird, I know I should be getting up to 4th in the fast sections but my slow corners are compromised enough it doesn't hurt pace too horribly?

Last session of the day so I wasn't pushing 100%. Lots of room to improve through the entry of turn 6, carrying speed over turn 2, and exit of 7 (basically everywhere).

Second to last session of the day had a lot of trains going around. Only lap of the session where I was able to get some open track after rain in the morning. First time out at Sonoma definitely can find a lot of time through every corner on entry.

Was pretty wet in the morning so the curbs and run offs were scary so I wasn't pushing as much this time. Didn't get much video of later sessions as the car began misfiring so most of the rest of the day was spent gathering data so no video was recorded. Probably was into the 2:1X region, but no proof yet ; )
