Finally got a proper run at this one last night. I only had about forty minutes before I had to call it, and most of that went on the bus stop. I kept arriving too hot, then overcorrecting and killing my exit onto the straight.

The RX-7 feels lovely through the fast stuff though. Once I stopped trying to brake so late into turn one, my laps started to settle down a bit. Still a long way off the 2:10s some of you are posting, but I got a clean lap in at last and that felt like progress.

Going to give it another go tonight with a bit less rear brake bias and see if that helps me stop sliding wide. Anyone else find the car gets really light over the bumps there, or is that just my setup?
 
First stint at Watkins Glen.
I did 10 laps to get a feel of the car & tires.

Good start me thinks. Optimal was showing 2:11.2xx
I would like to get into the 2:10-mark. We'll see! :lol:

Fuji is weird at the moment. My first try was the Jag, then i switched to the Toyota GR Supra Racing Concept '18 and improved my time... Then when I tried to improve again I just couldn't get close to my time. Changed to the M6 sprint, bad idea. Tried the new Mazda but doesn't suit me. Tried the Jaguar again and I improved my time again... Guess I have 2 cars that work for me, but they need a slightly different approach that I'm yet to figure out who is faster where and how.
I'll stick to the Jaguar I guess, although I'd like to NOT be in the meta for once 🤔
I'm a big fan of the Jag but found the 991 Porsche felt way better, it just tucks it's nose in so much better.
