Thanks for including all the laps and your thoughts for each of the sections, even when things don't go well; really helps as someone who's still learning
Huge fan, love your videos. Just an observation... I think if you lifted briefly in 4 before 5, you could have got the car rotated and not pushed wide for 5. The car seems to really struggle there with the stock suspension. I see you're fully committed to the throttle but the car is pushing. What are your thoughts? PS! keep up the amazing work!
Great observation and thanks for the support. I’ve actually tried both and I’ve looked at the data. Here are a few things to consider. If I lift to rotate, the car will stop understeering but I will lose time on throttle. If I’m fully committed to the throttle, the car pushes a bit but the curbing catches me at the exit of 5 and I have plenty of time to get back over to the right hand side to set up for 6. The question then is, ‘is lifting better because there is less distance travelled?’ and ‘is the car actually picking up speed when 100 percent committed to the throttle? Or is it just scrubbing speed?’ If you watch my first hot lap, in this video in practice 1, I lift briefly. In the rest, I’m fully committed. I will need to collect more data but the data that day told me full commitment with no lift was .11 faster than if I didn’t. Of course this is a small data set but I had very little time to gather data, look at it, and implement it. One last consideration is that not lifting there is hard on the front left tire… which in time attack , is not a huge concern when we are after that one fast lap. Hope this helps! Ps… I think coilovers, more camber, bump stop packets would solve this entirely if implemented properly.
@@DriversPaddock @vjegathe really nice reading this. Gives me alot of insight on what's going on in your mind. Many ways to go fast and many types of driving styles but good discussion and videos like this help us all. I've been to the track a few times and your videos really help...
@@DriversPaddock finally you reply!!! This has quickly become my favourite channel. You need to do some data analysis videos, I don't think there's any of that type of content on youtube, especially at the amateur or semi-pro level.
I like that you acknowledged that you should've backed off after you caught that STI, after the second flash I thought exactly the same thing and then your text came up on screen.
This drivetrain doesn't like shifting with cornering loads in the car. Transmission mount, rear shifter bushing, and MTEC shifter springs can help. Might need motor mounts to really get it happy, but I don't have experience with that. I also haven't done the other shifter bushings either.
Have you tried doing a session without having the timer right in front of you? For myself when I took it out of my line of sight…it forced me to just concentrate on my driving and not stress if I’m behind or ahead and stressing to not make a mistake.
Great suggestion. In time attack racing, we get 1 warm up, 3 hot laps and 1 cool down to find that one perfect lap. For me, the lap timer is actually most important for the second lap because of tire degradation. Most 200tw can’t full push for 3 hard laps and have peak performance, there’s a significant drop off by hot lap 2 or 3. With that being said, hot lap 1 is always full send. If at any point in hot lap 2, I see more than a few red lights, I will back down… let the tire cool and have one more chance in hot lap 3 to full send it with peak tire grip. If I see green lights, of course… keep full sending. Time attack is all about that ‘one perfect lap,’ only the fastest lap counts. Thanks for watching!
@@traktion9 I like as much suspension independence as possible. I would go coilovers with proper spring rates, or bump stop packers, bushings, well before going sway bars.

@@kurona I am still learning as well, and have much to learn! If I can help anyone out along the way, this channel will be all worth it.
My heart dropped with that mis-shift. What could have easily been. Just had to be the last corner too 😂
Man you had that 1:19! You have to go back and try again. Big fan, hope to catch you at the track sometime.
Super fun video!

Yes this ^^^ especially shifting to 3rd between turns 4 & 5
In hindsight, maybe keeping it in third might have been the better choice.
Are you allowed to change the antisway bars? If so you may find some time there. Best with it.

Where can the video about oil starvation be found?
Search or look for this in my channel:
BRZ & GR86 Oil Starvation Even In Stock Form - [2024 Current State Technical Discussion]
Seriously fast… 1:20.6 with more in it. I felt your pain with the mis-shift, I watched it back 3 times, seeing the green lights disappear 🫠.
How many BRZ's do you have
Obviously too many
This one was mine
How many have you sold me? 😂
Can't wait until Toyota comes out with a better automatic for this car like the GR Corolla
1:20:67 in a stock Gen 2 on tires is fast afff
stock engine ya, would wipe a pure stock one with the tires alone.
Rear camber angle?
-3.2 F -2.5 R but it needs a lot more.
@@DriversPaddock Swaybar limited right? What if you did aftermarket sway bar?
@@traktion9 I like as much suspension independence as possible. I would go coilovers with proper spring rates, or bump stop packers, bushings, well before going sway bars.
