Sweet! Glad you found a cause for that issue. Smoother tip-in will be a nice improvement.

At the autocross, I counted drivers from at least four race teams that will be at the Sebring race. Should be no shortage of skillz on the race track!

Ah but they have not been to Sebring since the new patches have been installed. So alot of the markers now have changed.
I am looking forwards to this weekend and the chump race. With 30 ish cars it will be alot of fun.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Good meeting you too Craig. That M Coupe is real nice, and fast. Those have always been one of my favorites.

Nice meeting you too...and thanks about the shifting. It was a busy course for gears for me. I dropped from a 3.23 to a 3.46 final drive and it proves to be too low for the runway autox's.
