The new course was big and fast with only two super tight corners which is a struggle for a turbo four door car. Last month I finished 8-10 seconds behind mid pack. With the stickier tires and a more open higher speed course I cut that to around 5 seconds back from mid-pack during the first session which is the only one I ran due to grandkid duty. Each lap got quicker and I didn't hit any cones nor run off the course. I remembered to "partially" turn off VSA and leave in Sport mode which I think also made a big difference.

One part was a slight left uphill with a transition seam at the top from incline to flat after the first exploratory lap I could actually feel the car get light over the top of that as it was full throttle near the top of second gear. I'm sure I didn't get any air, but could definitely feel it.

Great! Now you just need to add more camber up front to sharpen that turn-in.

I have seen many type R's at the DE events I do and they are hella fast.

Happy birthday! You're an inspiration dude. I hope I both live to your age and am doing the things you're doing; buying cool cars and having fun with them. Much respect.
