Finally made it out to a road course track. Unfortunately the rain kind of spoiled it. It was still tons of fun though. It had been far too long since I had run a road course.
The car handled great, but obviously I could only push it so far. I’m running RE-71R’s that are fairly new, so they had no issue in the rain. The tire is a bit tall in profile (235/40-18), but I live in Wisconsin so the other 99% of driving it’s nice to have for the pot holes and heaves.
Going to give it another shot at Road America next week. Any advice on how to get rid of my 130mph limiter?
I did experience an issue on the last session. The car backfired and lost power momentarily. This was shortly after I hit the straight. My first thought was fuel starvation. The gas light was on, the gauge said I had only 25 miles to go, yet when I let the car sit there was just a little under a quarter tank. Anyone have experience with tracking the car with less than ¼ tank? It would surprise me to have a starvation issue with that much fuel, but not sure what else would have made it happen. I took a cool down lap and got off the track after that.
Here’s a youtube link of second session:
I’m definitely not a professional race car driver, but it’s all in good fun.
