They acknowledged in the article that they went a couple of seconds faster on another "undocumented" lap. He definitely lost time by being offline for turn 10 on that one.
Just started watching lightning lap. Never noticed that they did that at VIR. So now we can compare forum cars to those

That's Fiata to you.Interesting that the fastest Miata is a Fiat.
I was nervous to push too hard up the esses for that exact reason...getting offline/understeering through turn 9 and not set up for turn 10. That video shows that issue well.Interesting. I’ve not driven the grand course. I’ve tried attacking the uphill esses at VIR and ended with the same results as Car and Driver. Running out of front end grip at the top and understeering through T9 to the point you are off-line for T10 and have to compromise corner speed.
I now back off a little going up the esses. Arrive a T9 in control. Gas it to the T10 turn in and carry 10mph more speed through T10. Truth be told, with my mods I should be carrying the throttle more up through the esses.
I think that C&D could have gone faster with some practice.
I’m surprised at the 8-sec gap between the R and GTi.Just started watching lightning lap. Never noticed that they did that at VIR. So now we can compare forum cars to those

Speaking of binding noises…
I trimmed back my dust shields and flipped pads in my brakes on Saturday. Now when reversing and turning the wheel to the right, I am getting this crazy sound from the passenger front wheel. It sounds like a whale call. I took the wheel off today and didn’t see anything rubbing or any debris, and verified everything was tight. Sprayed everything out with brake clean. No clue what it could be. Any thoughts?
