[mcbarnet007]

Turn on CC for commentary. Skip to 2:03 for first hot lap.

Thanks to Speed Ventures for another well run event. Broke into sub 2 during the very first session on these racing slicks and kept pushing even in 100+ heat. The fastest lap has plenty of flaws and there is still time left in the car! Need more driver mod.

Shout out to The Driveway for wresting the tires on the wheel and doing custom alignments.
Mountain Pass Performance for creating affordable track oriented coil overs and alignment parts.
Corner3 Motorsports for Prototype Endless endurance racing pads.
Unplugged Performance for adjustable rear stabilizer bar.

Setup:
19x10 MRR M600 with Pirelli DH racing tires
Mountainpass Performance AWD Sport coilovers
Mountainpass Performance rear Toe and Camber suspension arms
Prototype Endless endurance racing pads
Stock rotors with heatshield removed with Castro SRF fluid and MPP stainless steel line
UPP rear stabilizer bar

You stepped up your tire game big-time! Nice lap!

Just watched the lap again - great driving Bennet! Using up all of the curbing like a boss!

Are the Pirelli's a Ferrari Challenge size? Very cool that you found some slicks in 19s!

1.86 lateral G's is pretty impressive in a 4000lb sedan. Thanks for posting and some solid driving!

tire AND suspension setup. It was so anticlimactic when I broke sub-2. It was the 3rd lap in the first session with cold track and crappy driving. I was so shocked I had to pull into pit to gather myself and reassess my goals.

Great driving, but I’m know it is in you. What is blowing my mind is the magic unicorn Endless brake pads. The physics just does make sense in my primitive mind.

I think after 3 track days I've gone through 3mm of pad material. Granted I don't usually run full 25 min session but I do brake pretty hard. I finally triggered the in car high brake temperature warning since it was 104 degrees outside, but the pad still bite as good as before and showed no signs of fade.

I hope they'll be available to everyone soon.

Great work out there. Going to be awesome when we can get camber arms and some more aero on the cars. 1.56 should be realistic

Absolutely for you Fast Boys. I'll be happy if I get sub 2:05 in my first time out at BRP next month.

Just come out and have fun. First time there I ran a 2:14 without track mode. Didn't make it any less fun.

Can't wait for the event. Going to be fun competition.

I signed up for Oct 12th because of GTR days and my friends will be there with their time attack GTRs. But TC6 should have lots of people like usual.
