The car looked super composed from outside...

I'm glad to have witnessed this in person.

MUCH better handling and balanced. Due to new aero package, improving weight distribution, and a big emphasis on lowering the Cg of the car.

Soft and we did a 1:38.5X on the year old Hoosier A6s that we set our old 1:40.3 record with (and that lap was going to be faster until loosing a ton of time in the highspeed sections due to a last minute wing change that I did which really hurt it).

What is your impression on estimated lap diff b/w fresh A6's and the A005's?

Billy,

Awesome lap from an awesome driver. Seemed like you really nailed the second half of the lap (maybe tires came in perfect then?)

Oh how I wish I could get in to real race cars more often.

Cheers man.

Nick
