My Best Lap @ Gingerman Raceway

[20CiviC02Si]

Here's a vid of the best timed lap i've ran at Gingerman Raceway in South Haven, MI. When i first bought the car from my friend in the SCCA Showroom Stock C spec, i was running 2:00 laps. Over that time i finally was able to accomplish this lap of 1:51.25. You'll notice 2 mistakes i made, which probably cost me almost a second.

As of right now the car's race weight is roughly 2700lbs, and makes approximately 150BHP.

I think it could easily get in the 47 second range with some fine tuning and more weight reduction. That is the goal for this year!

Nice. Looks a bit understeery on a few of the bends but loving the commitment on the big exit curbs

Yeah that's going to be the main focus for this year. I haven't been able to fine tune the dampers much due to their complexity. Adjusting compression can't be done by 1 person while the shocks are on the car. So it makes it a pain in the ass to make fine adjustments at the track. Looking into solutions for this. Rebound adjustment is easy.

Also the car will definitely benefit with the addition of a splitter up front. That will be made this spring.

The car tends to understeer when conditions are dry, and becomes heavy with oversteer soon as track conditions get remotely wet.
