Drove the ///M yesterday for Road America
It was...AMAZING!
Shout out to Brent
86Zed for excusing my idiocy regarding meeting up and unintentionally ghosting him. Sorry again mate!
Had a great time learning more about my car and its limits. I was fortunate enough to have a fellow Windy City BMW CCA club member and Z3M coupe owner instruct me, who provided great advice. Ended up only using traction for the first session as I kept approaching its limits, and he was comfortable enough to release me on my own for the final session of the day.
I definitely have a lot more to learn about the different driving techniques that apply to HPDE, (namely more patience on approaching a corner, as well as better braking and downshifting technique), but overall I met my primary goal of being able to drive home and the secondary goal of getting under 3 minutes. Needless to say, I'm hooked and can't wait to do another event in June!
Videos! Unfortunately, I ran out of storage space on my phone for the TrackAddict data from my fastest lap of the day
Fastest lap with data - 2:57.515
Fastest lap no data - 2:51.740
