It's called Measurebating and just like the wife says the difference between OOOhhh   or AAAhhh is about 1/4"..... I mean 1/4 second.

Date: 2-28-20

CW lap time: 1:59.18

Car: 2005 BMW Z4 2.5i

Est weight: ~3100

Est HP: 190

Tires: 225-45/17 MPSS

Temperature: 65°

First time getting under 2:00 yesterday and I had a total of 3 laps under it. I attribute almost all of the increase to finally getting a race bucket seat into the car. Its a pretty incredible difference vs the factory leather seats with almost no bolstering. Not having to fight to hold  yourself in place unsurprisingly makes a big difference on your ability focus and feel what the car is doing 😭

Estimated wheel horsepower: 400

Tire size and model: 265 Michelin Pilot Super Sport

Estimated wheel horsepower: 320 at crank. Probably around 275 at the wheels.

Tire size and model: 235 and 265 Ventus RS4

Notes: Brakes were not 100%. Brand new suspension set up that hasn't quite been dialed in (MCS 1-way, 600#f and 700#r, Tarret sway bars, -3f and -2.5r camber). 

 

I'm thinking about becoming a member of MSR now that they've lowered the initiation fee. That way i'll really get some time to dial in the car.

[txA&M08]

Lap time: 1:45.8 CW

Car: 2013 Viper

Estimated total vehicle weight with driver: 3600

Estimated wheel horsepower: 580

Tire size and model: 345/295 R888R

Estimated ambient temperature: 80ish

Notes: 7th or 8th time at the track. Worked on hitting heel toe downshifts more consistently. Earlier throttle application and later braking were secondary objectives. Ended up gaining 1.8 seconds since the last time out. Gaining confidence in the car. It's surprisingly friendly under throttle, but unfriendly under braking.
