Do you have aero? The amount of speed you're carrying into the left kink before the right turn at the back straight is uncanny (58sec in the video). Your car looks so stable through most of those turns.

Also, brake later into turn 1. You can brake inbetween the left cone and the apex cone and carrying the brake thru mid-track.

The new bowl looks fun!!

Hey Mike what's the difference between the track layout you ran and the 2.4 layout shown here:

It's a sea of turns and curbs. No clue where the road goes next.

Mark, yes, similar to the 2.4 but adds the bowl (sorry for the rough sketch from memory).
You can see in the video where it extends past the old 2.4 at 00:23 and then comes back to rejoin it at 00:34.



@ Driven, yes, there's aero (splitter and GTC300 wing).
I only ran two sessions and didn't experiment much with T1-T2 combo, will definitely try that next time!
The left kink can be done without braking but you can hear I let off a little going in.

I can't make it around that corner without lifting or braking a little. Car is just far too unstable to hold that and then make any concerted effort in braking for the next corner.

Must do aero...

I can always count on you to take the time to supply great answers and explanations.

That really looks like a fun configuration. Might be the new most popular at SM, at least for the non mega power cars. That's the type of config that usually irritates them.Take away the straights to use all that HP and they

Thanks
Mark
