Race Tracking Your Supra - Information exchange

[AHP]

You lost me at c8 and “feel”, the electronic braking and lack of feel is the biggest complaint tracking owners have told me

Ehh.. It's fine, IMO. I get what they were going for but I can see how it may throw some people off. The feel is almost entirely simulated so as brake temps (and braking distances to an extent) increase the pedal feel remains consistent. I acclimated pretty quickly.

I’ll get in touch with my contacts and find out. 999’s are a great pad, I’ve ran the H16-03 from their racing series and those are amazing.

Appreciate it! They were definitely better for my long hot sessions at Sebring. Could get on them hard in the afternoons. Track temps well over 100, able to break later on the long straights, then mash em again next big corner, lap after lap. Mega impressed!!

pardon my ignorance.

The tire temperature measurements are done by the car?
Do you have some sort of sensors?

BTW, the temps taking by the sensor are "core" an infrared reading at the surface will be higher.

The ambient was 95 at CMS yesterday. Track temps were actually 150s. My lap times were fastest on the outlap and 1 or 2 hot laps and dropped thereafter.

Verus V1X vs Spage SP012 swan necks opinions? Lets say 66-68 wing span.
Price simmilar, dunno which one would be better/gave more efficient df at that price point. Fastest supras run Spage, but v1x is pretty new...

I don’t own any but I’m planning to get the whole Verus aero package.

I think they must perform similarly and outside of the very competitive leagues, the differences are negligible.

What I like about the Verus offering is that they have taken their time publishing their methods and the closest we get to see actual research in every part they have designed.

Also the videos detailing the installation are very useful, so much that I’m planning to tackle the install myself.

A052s are fun until they're not LOL. Thought my AoA change in the wing was causing my car to be skating. NOOOOOOPE.

I am on ~Ventus 4 levels of df (more vents instead of bigger splitter). Thinking about moving to diff wing for 2025 and maybe bigger splitter thats why I'm wondering, esp if paying big coin I'd rather buy the better one out of the 2

That's some impressive delamination right there. I believe you got your money's worth.

Any easy fixes for the fuel starvation issue?

So I guess this means I'm getting faster, previously I was able to run the car down to fairly low fuel without any issues. Last weekend I hit it twice just under 40% fuel both times, and the car went into "Drivetrain Issue" mode and had almost no power until I tuned it off/on.

Besides bringing a can with me to keep the car topped off are there any other easy-ish fixes?

Recently did my first two track days in my 6MT.

It was faster than my 2020 LE (don’t tell the automatic owners )

Top speed on the straights was within 1mph. Power alone is not why the 6MT was faster.
