Thanks to BR Racing for assisting in car setup.
My fastest lap of the day from an afternoon session, followed by a little surprise T2 drift.
This was my first time running at Laguna Seca post-repave. It rained the day before and overnight, leading to gradually drying conditions in the morning. The course never felt fully clean, though, so I was hesitant to fully commit to use of the exit curbs in a few places. In many of those same places (T2, T3, T5, T11), traction control was a major limiting factor, and on this lap in particular, I misjudged the entry to the corkscrew and lost several tenths from there to the exit of T9. In retrospect I wish I had taken steps into the uncomfortable earlier in the day.
Based on the feel of the car last weekend at autocross and this weekend at Laguna Seca, I may try softening the rear a bit to assist with on-throttle stability. Clearly I've also got to stick to running on track with TC disabled, though this didn't feel like the right day to jump right in. I should also note that I don't know how much of this was condition specific.
As ever, I'm looking forward to giving this another go soon.
Thanks also to SP Motorsports for hosting this run group.
