I am 2 tenths off right now at Interlagos, as you get better the gap tends to widen because you can pull off a great sector and find it hard to repeat.
You’re keeping your lap times in the race fairly consistent though aren’t you?
This is the biggest secret sauce, not being the fastest but really comfortable running a certain pace. That buys optionally and instinctive control which avoids some of the drama and over pushing.
Hard to say, cause my optimum always improves following my pace's improvements. Basically it start to really "shrink" (I mean the gap between actual and optimum) when you get near the top of leaderbord (lets say inside the 100 best times). Usually it depends also from the average gap we have from the best times. The higher this gap, the higher room for improvements; wich gives a bigger delta from actual to optimum.
Unfortunately I’m missing the sauce. I’m content enough with my out and out pace as it’s keeps me mid grid in A which would give me some good racing if I could get consistent race laps.
Yes so you’re looking at a tenth there not a big gap like mine so there’s fundamentally something wrong as I have that gap every week.
Honestly, it’s not technique it’s refining consistent pace. You can’t build from a good lap without good consistency and you only get quicker consistency with better understanding of how you make the lap corner to corner.
Last night I did yeah, I think i did 11 between 33.1 and 33.5 in free air. I do find the BB needs to be shifted as the stint wears on, in the 911 anyways, I start at +3 and move it forward as the tyres fade to stop the rears locking into the tight sector 2 corners. Not massive lock ups but enough to bleed a few tenths.
