funny enough, HOD in june was how i hit 57.9 last time as well, just much slower:

I started noticing some understeer in some corners that was slowing me down a little so I might up the rear spring rate. Also still need to man up on the downhill. I think I can get into the 55's here.

You ever consider a pinch of toe out up front?

That is impressive. All that beating on the engine and no signs of issues.

Starting to go through more of the footage from last weekend...

As I mentioned in this post, my power goal with my Supra was to match or surpass a Porsche GT3/RS. Since that post, the tune I ended up with and have been using has a little less horsepower and a little more torque. It's very linear, I am able to go WOT out of corners without traction issues and it has good top end. The car is up approx. 11mph in the straights at both Lime Rock and Palmer.

I got to do a nice acceleration comparison with a 991 Porsche GT3RS last weekend and it looks like my goal has been achieved! The great thing is this turbo isn't even getting pushed, this is still on "low boost"!

Another bit of video. Me chasing a IMSA TCR Audi RS3 with a IMSA pro driver. These do 0:55 laps in qualifying so they are faster than me at Lime Rock. Ironically there is nothing RS3 about these as per class rules, they are FWD and use the GTI/R 4 cyl. Approx 350whp to the ground and 2,7XXlbs so they are no slouches power to weight wise.

Another cool thing is I am doing multiple 0:58 laps in a row here. All last year I fought to get one sub 60 lap and now I am consistent sub 59's. Unfortunately, I overdrive the car towards the end and almost go off track so I pull back and pit in shortly after.

Great work Bryan!! If you keep it up, you‘ll be passing them soon The fact you’re doing this without breaking down (extra power &heat), streetable & doesn’t look like a crash dummy vehicle is amazing ?

Can you please come down and test at Sebring in the summer?

Just finished two days at Lime Rock with Hooked on Driving. Both days where four hours of open lapping. Totally spoils me for regular track days.

Ended up getting a new PB yesterday, 57.96 and consistently in the 58's. Car is hauling the mail at this track now. Was the fastest street car out there. It was an unmuffled day so there where some IMSA Porsches and Lambos and some TCR race cars out. I'll post some other fun videos of the weekend in the coming days. IMSA Porsches are stupid fast, and stupid loud.

I started noticing some understeer in some corners that was slowing me down a little so I might up the rear spring rate. Also still need to man up on the downhill. I think I can get into the 55's here.

It’s been so long since I have been there. I actually even did the Skip Barber 3 day racing school, not sure Skip is a thing any more at LRP. I do remember trying to break the 1 min mark but Iam sure I never did. That is really fast Bryan, cud’s to you.

Great work Bryan!! If you keep it up, you‘ll be passing them soon The fact you’re doing this without breaking down (extra power on track is typically no bueno, excess heat), the car is streetable & doesn’t look like a crash dummy vehicle is amazing ?

Can you please come down and test at Sebring in the summer? I actually think if anyone could make it work, you can ??

Great laps I really wish I could see your braking and throttle on screen. Is that an AIM solo?. What mount do you use for your camera it is nice.

Great commitment in the downhill your exit speed was fantastic much time gained on the front straight

Last I heard he still owns LRP, and the racing school is still alive and well there... just $$$$$.
