ACR resets NASA Track Record at Pueblo Motorsports Park

[Boxer12]

I was running at Pueblo this weekend and conditions were a bit more favorable (and better tires) than last time, including a new configuration for turn 10, and able to shave more than a second of the track record. Here is a video. I started the second session on Sunday in second place after the warmup so the cars after the white BMW M3 passed on the first lap were backmarkers (the reason I pit early). Enjoy!

You and I drive almost exactly the same line ......I turn in later and apex later in the hairpin (forgot the turn #) other than that, same ride.......and I get around in less than record time, as I am in an almost stock gen III with Cups instead of A6's. ......does the aero stuff help at all in the tighter turns?

 

[Allan]

Oh yeah......I think I still have the record at PMP for the coolest spin. ....720 and never left the asphault. no video though........The Cups make a lot of noise,....after the limit!

As far as the aero, i start with minimum drag and add as I go to see if it helps or hurts. At PMP, it is worth 1.5 sec to go from min to med rear wing setting.

Interesting,......What about the banked oval section of PPIR? I am deathly afraid of the wall, so I just 'part throttle cruise' that section of the track, keep the speed down to about 90mph through the turn. I know the car is way more capable than that, but it aint worth the risk. It seems that the ACR's aero stuff would really plant the car in a turn like that.
