Yeah Bellevue C&C never really took off. Lake Washington gets quite nice cars out regularly, and a lot of people with eclectic taste in cars. It's more of a meet and greet than a cruise. Best to show up earlier than 10am if you want parking though, especially on nicer weather days. It's a small...
I got the sense that the results don't really reflect Danny in the car, because the car's been shit and the strategy has been Ferrari-esque. There were a lot of races post-Miami where Danny was making passes, and then some weird strategy call undid it all. The qualifying form was poor, but he...
It would be interesting, but how would you try to maintain the "spirit" of racing instead of trying strategies like sitting in the pits to get into an open track window or using a car as a rolling "block" to slow down competitors (since the concept of impeding kind of goes away during the race)?
Gonna be sad if this was Danny Ric's last race. F1 is gonna miss his presence.
However, I do think VCARB sending him out to steal the fastest lap from Norris when he wasn't eligible for getting the point (since he was out of the top 10 with no shot of making it in) is pretty obvious collusion...
End of an era if that was Danny Ric's last race, gonna miss his driving.
Also if Lando loses the driver's championship by 1 point, there's no doubt Red Bull using Danny and VCARB to take the fastest lap point is going to be called into question.
He gave the shortest responses in a press conference today and held a separate press conference outside to stick the finger up at the FIA. It was hilarious to watch!
I'd put it a bit more on Checo since he's the one behind in the vortex of danger, with better visibility on what's happening, and having space to the left. Both were going for Charles' slipstream and Sainz lost Checo's exact positioning in his blind spot since he lost ground with the understeer...
The helmet is a must if you're planning on doing this regularly. There are places that rent helmets out with helmet socks, but I'd much rather not use a helmet that someone else has been sweating in.
DOT4 braking fluid is not mandatory, but really nice to have. It will give you peace of mind...
The one without the brace could be a 2020. IIRC those didn’t come with it.
As for power, the clutch is the weak point in the manuals (i wanna say around 450-500), while the transmission will start slipping in the autos, but you can get in the ballpark of 600-700whp and wtq before that
I've enjoyed my combo of auto Supra and manual GR Corolla on track and on fun drives. The Supra is one of those cars where the auto is so well sorted out that you're not really making a wrong choice IMO.
Car felt brilliant on track yesterday. New PB with my first time out on 200TWs. I did notice the rear end is twitchy on braking, which made me feel a little less confident, even though the new brake setup does allow me to brake much later. It would definitely help improving on my time. Any...
It's late in the PNW track season (big life events kept me busy for a while), but finally getting the Supra out for a track day tomorrow at the Ridge. First time on 200TWs now that I have the GRC to handle shitty weather like the rainy track day in June.
