Race Tracking Your Supra - Information exchange

[NINaudio]

Yea, with it all on, it's super frustrating. I still run with 1 click off and it rarely intervenes unless I get myself into some stupid situation.

Is 1 click off just turning off the traction control or?

Yes. BMW/Toyota did a great job with only one click off. I’ve driven on track with all 3 options. You have to use at least one click turning off traction control or you’ll definitely feel it and burn up your brakes quicker. And Bryan is right. One click is all you need. Unless you want full control to get more loose. Then you’d have to hold it down for over 3 seconds.

Ferrari is getting back into the Sebring testing game. Checkout what they’re doing to stay cool

Leaf ? blowers ? . Glad they’re getting back into it. Toyota is the one to beat. I think they’ve won like 5 in a row ?

I use a battery powered kobolt fan between sessions. Help pull heat out of engine

Turn it all off and party ????

Got out to HPR again today, knocked 2 more seconds off my PB there and got into the 1:57s. Got some data and video to review and see how bad I'm still messing everything up. Car should be able to get in the 55s how it sits now with little issue, just gotta work on driver mod.

Another little issue I thought I'd gotten rid of popped up again this morning. Fast right hander in 5th, went to transition back to full throttle after clearing the curb, trans (or the car?) goes into safe mode. Indicator on the cluster still shows 5th, but car put itself in 8th I'm guessing and wouldn't let me manually select gears for a few seconds. Anyone else run into this? Only thing I can think of is it detected some slipping and protected itself. Was a little cool out this morning and didn't really warm the car up long before going out, just a couple minutes to get my helmet and stuff on and the outlap.

As mentioned above, I can confirm, also: I hold down the button to turn off all safety stuff. Then I hit the traction control. That leaves VSC or whatever. The VSC allows as much slip angle as you could possibly need. If it's kicking in, you are too far gone to be going fast anyway. I find it hard to get these cars out of sorts to that point.
For driftoro, I turn the VSC off too.

I toss the crap out of my car around a track but don't have any of that going on. I'm drifting turns, jumping curbs, you name it.

Is there someone who lost their verus diffuser on track, but still has the mounting hardware please? tossed mine after the rapid unexpected disassembly, but could now use them as the base for a diy project.

How are people strapping down their cars on a trailer? All the cars I’ve ever hauled in the past either had slots in the frame that would allow me to use a T-Hook or I’ve added tie downs like these (https://www.rennline.com/rennline-tie-downs-sku-e04/).

Personally I hate strapping cars down by the tires or wheels. When you tie down against the frame it’s very secure and you mostly immobilize the cars suspension.

Picture for attention.

I tie down using wheel straps. Why are you wanting to immobilize the car's suspension?

 

[RichSC]

I strap it down through the wheels, no problems.

Just got Eibach Sway bars installed. Im going to keep Front Bar Middle setting and rear on the softest setting to start off with. What are your settings for adjustable sways bars????

I’d go as stiff as you can tolerate. Just make sure you don’t skip around like a stone. So depending on your other parts (coilover settings), you may not want the stiffest settings. But in general, I’d start stiff and you can always dial it down depending on your feel, other parts or wheel hop.

Have you done your free track day yet? It’ll be fun to compare for sure with those sway bars! Congrats man

Both full firm. But i am a nut and I like my car set up like an unforgiving go-cart.
