sonoma’s the best. Laguna seca I kinda get the sense its more suited to higher powered cars with all the inclines and straights.

hoping to do thunderhill but its a real trek. heard streets of willow got re-done so hoping to go back.

on grid is a good deal!
SlipAngle is run by guys I’ve instructed with for nearly a decade. We were all Bimmer owners when I was still competing in Bimmer Challenge, but they are running M2s & M3s now. Next event is Nov 23 @ Streets CCW, which will provide a good chance to reset the FiST lap record CCW which is a 1:25.xx, set by a TT4 racecar.

I'll definitely check that out. 1.25 is very fast. I may have gotten a 1.31 CW on that track and could not go faster. went to streets for maybe 3-4 events. I'm going to try to get an instructor to get me pointers next time around.

Sub25s are quick in a street car, but not for a logbooked racecar. I run high 26s in my stock turbo daily driven FiST both directions & I still can’t get the car turn how I would like (need x9 up front). If you have in car video and/or lap timer data (solo2, catalyst, etc) those are great tools for identifying areas to improve on. If you don’t have them, definitely look into getting them. Video/data never lies.

I’ve been a certified MSF instructor since 2017. If ya need pointers, I can also assist with that.
