Thanks for the kudos guys! Makes me feel better.
Like I said I normally wouldn't run that many laps for something like this. I must have run 320 laps total all week on this. Normally for an OLR race I'd run 50-70 depending on the circuit and how hard it was for me to adapt to it.
This time what egged me on was the faster sectors I was getting time to time. I knew I had it in me to go faster. I kept telling myself all I needed to to was hit my marks and hold it together. That never happened.
What is nice about this series is there is always next week.
I didn't think this combo was that technical. It had a few corners you had to hit correctly for fast times but El Capitan is wide enough and flowing enough that beyond those 2 or 3 corners there was alot of fudge factor. I think what made this combo hard was the car. It actually drove better the faster you went. It was easier to throw around and put it where you want it. At low speeds it became sort of a pig. It's tendency not to like to trail brake and understeer if you tried didn't help. My driving style also tends to be one where I use the backend of the car. Probably from all the time I spend in RRs. THE BMW M3 was quite easy to let the tail hang out. This Nismo Z was too stable. It became nice with S1 tires in the back but then I lost too much time on the exits of the slow speed corners due to wheel spin.
Eitherway I feel I learned some stuff here, always good in OLR.
Let's try something not FR next week and in GT mode, shall we.
