Improved from my last 1:19.0 by simply carrying more speed into the corners. My tires aren't showing much of any wear - I need more seat time and confidence. My best time was actually done with very little boost, tried going for momentum than shear torque. Also ran into traffic most of the laps, but that isn't the point of these HPDE events 
Had two crazy lightning and downpour events, closing the track twice. Track got flooded, with 40mph winds. It's crazy out here. |
Nice gains!! You make a good point about your methodology this event. While Thunderbolt rewards greater HP, I think Lightning rewards smoothness and momentum. Sorry to hear about that crazy weather, too - saw some videos from others that were there.
