    I am not familiar with track day racing, but I find this fascinating and looks like a heck of a lot of fun when people are behaving. I presume it’s too complicated or expensive to issue radios to all the drivers? What kind of beating do your tires take in a track like this?

    @grippgoat Před 11 dny

    I remember you saying something in a previous vid about it being a mistake to go too wide into that loooong sweeping right onto that straight. But I do wonder if a wider entry would make sense in the McLaren with the setup on it. You have a lot more speed to shed on approach to the corner, and a lot more power to rebuild speed. So maybe you can trail brake a wide entry to get the car rotated more earlier, and straighten out the corner some to mitigate the push?

    • @dadhats
      @dadhats Před 9 dny

      I tried it I think! trail braking isn't particularly effective in that corner since it's so long. on throttle rotation is much more important there and the McLaren has literally none of that lol

  • @Turbo329
    @Turbo329 Před 12 dny

    Regarding your commentary around 6 minutes,..... It's not so much the tires. Mid engine cars generally lack front end feel and that is what you experienced. A grippier tire will give you more confidence trust the car on corner entry, but you will still lack feel. Also, McLaren is notorious for going light on the front tire width. They set it up for understeer to keep their clients safe. Towards the end, you started to cook the Michelins which naturally leads to even more understeer, plus the brakes got hot, and that is why you went off. Fun cars those MP4-12c.

    • @dadhats
      @dadhats Před 12 dny

      idk I have driven a 986 boxster and it had a ton of steering feel near the limit. granted that wasn't on track but still. yea dude I think it's a 235 up front which is wild!! and agreed that def contributed to the off! was still my fault, at the end of the day I was the one driving. I didn't want to make excuses for myself like that lol

      @Slowcarfastbeans Před 12 dny

      @@dadhats Sounds like it was too high to start. As you continue to add more heat into the tire, the grip starts to go away the longer you go in a session. With high speed cars, the brakes put a lot of heat into the tire. Could you feel the front tire grip start to fade away after a certain number of laps?

    • @dadhats
