Judging from the rollangle and the inner front tire camber in the pics it must have some speed thru that corner. Do you guys have any idea how fast you went thru there?

I'd say really impressive

Mark could tell by his GPS system he had. We'd have to figure out which curve that was for sure; looks like 13 or so, after the downhill backstretch, heading back to the final turn into the front stretch. Mark likes to carry much speed into the front stretch!

I do know there's a sweeper at the end of a short straight heading to an uphill blind rise. Telemetry showed we hit 100 mph through that pulling 1 G lateral on street tires. Felt like 150!

I'm not sure what that all means......but it sounds cool.

Sorry Tony, I'm probably not using the correct terminology. Basically there's a short straight section then a curve and another short section heading up a hill. You can't see over the hill and have to hit the right line to stay on the track.

Mark hit 100 mph through the curve pulling 1G of lateral grip. The curve is sharp enough at that speed that the car drifts outside to the edge of the track at that speed (or off if you do it wrong!). The car has to handle very well to run that speed through this area and stay on the track. Have to enter it correctly, hit the apex, and let the car drift out of it. I prefer to hold my breath on this part.

My point was that this car is not a trailer queen. It handles very well and is super predictable. You know exactly what it's going to do and where it's going to go.
