Did my first SCCA Track Night of the year on Wednesday
-- COVID 19 setup
masks for all meetings, no indoor meetings
Good social distancing / masks 80%
I felt comfortable in going and participating
-- driving
forgot about the 'S mode' - which would explain funny feeling on down shifts (I do not heel / toe)
Traction control, was reminded real quick to turn off
Tires - Michelin PS4S front 36 / rears 32 -- good wear
no rear sway bar -- to tell the truth I have no butt feel
find out why the seat seem to move, seems as if something was not locked on the back..
best time was a 1:51:79 -- not bad for me...
-- Turns
13 - 16 the carousel lot of body lean, its a bit fun, leaning turning left and shifting... From 2nd to 4th...
Turn 6, for me is a 2nd gear corner
Turn 1, is from 4th to 2nd, and start breaking at about the start finish line.
-- Things I have to improve
Shifting, go to be more smooth and makes sure 'S Mode' is on.
Traction control make sure it is off
-- Note
I played Assetto Corsa, and have AMP and Nismo, it did help in making me feel more familiar with the track. but the sim vs the actually were a bit different on shifts and of course not a really feel
