#345

Lightning Race with NASA NE. Qualified P5, finished P3. Huge gains from last year where my best was a 1.16. Did 1.13 in both qual and the race. Great battle all race long with Doug in the white E36 M3. Check out the highlights:
0:25 : S2k, Yellow GTS2 car and I go three wide into T3. Little bump and grind. RIP canard and rear trim.
7:18 : Restart from FCY
7:57 : Got a run through some traffic and got past Doug into T7
9:02 : Grass looked a little high so I mowed the corner.
13:55 : Doug creeping on the inside of T1.
16:20 : I screw up T1
22:25 : Final lap, Doug gets a massive run on me into T1, I go for the crossover but get it all tangled up.

Hey Christina. Love your videos and hearing about you in GRM magazine. Would it be a lot of trouble to overdub some commentary on your race videos? It would be interesting to hear your thoughts about what’s going on around you.

[@ChristinaYLam]

Thanks for following along! Thats a great idea! Dubbing over some fo the race would be a cool way to give viewers a better idea of what I'm thinking. You think doing a shorter highlights real and talking through it would work?

[@dogfish1419203]

I, for one, think that would be fantastic! Of course, I don’t speak for everyone. My favorite is when you wave your hand in apparent exasperation as if to say “What the (fill in the blank) are you doing you crazy (fill in the blank)?! It would be nice to know what’s going on. Sometimes it’s easy to tell and sometimes not. I would also be interested in any commentary about how the car feels. Is handling holding up, brakes fading a bit, etc. etc. (Feel free to watch my one video on my channel in my M3 at Hyperfest this year. You know, so I can have 2 views instead of just 1 :-).

I found you because of an RX8 video you commented on, I love how some rare based women are getting into Motorsport:)

[@GRPE696]

Good race. How much would you credit your new MCS 3 ways in the time drop?

[@ChristinaYLam]

Thanks! There was a noticeable difference in grip T2-T5. And that is consistently where I was faster than the white E36 that was on the 2 ways. Data says theres at least half a second gain in that section from last year.

[@widfo_moto7345]

Did someone get dq’d post race?

[@ChristinaYLam]

yep

[@widfo_moto7345]

Christina Lam oh dang what for? Nice driving and nice pass on the white car!

[@ChristinaYLam]

Chris Davis P1 protested P2 lol

[@widfo_moto7345]

Holy hell that's funny!

[@TheRokkit]

Chris Davis that isn't true. P1 and P2 were reported passing under yellow. P1 video showed P2 passing under yellow.
