- A lap around Sebring International Raceway at a Chin Track Days event in my Mustang. Data is overlayed along with commentary on each corner to help you get around the track.

While searching for a Sebring race video, I found your instructional lap around the track. As a former Sebring 12hr winner, I'd say your video is very good.
Thanks so much for the feedback George. That means a lot.
once a winner always a winner
Great tutorial! Jim is a great person and awesome driver! I know him personally as I try to do Serbring with Chin once a month. Thanks for all you do for the hobby Jim! - Darin Ayers
'Preciate that Darin. Thanks for the comments.
"Call your mom"....very cute.
Great instruction; thanks for posting this.

Phenomenal. My only comment would be to add a full motion complete run at the end of the video in real time without stops.
Otherwise this is a great learning tool.
Thanks for the video and tips. It's one of the more useful ones I've watched. I hope you do more for other traps.
Glad you liked. The newest one, Road Atlanta, will be up soon....
Thank you! Great tips! Love this track. My best is 232.05 in my 22 3.0 Supra
Great video with excellent visuals and screen shots frozen to point out landmarks! Thanks for the time you put in to share this and help new (and old) drivers alike!
This video has helped me drop over 20 seconds off my lap times at Sebring over the course of 3 years at Sebring with the same car. Now I attempt to hit sub 2:30 this up and coming weeks
thnx professor Apex!
Very cool...I have only been on Sebring once and that was in 1974; I was a Sr. in H.S. and had raced dirt bikes and motocross/flat track since I was a kid and earned an AMA Expert license in 125cc Motocross but it was getting damn expensive (even with decent support from Island Yamaha in Merritt Island, my Dad who was an Engineer out at The Cape still footed most of the cost and was also my wrench) and I had been accepted to FTU College of Engineering so decided to hang up my racing boots and concentrate on academics my Sr. Year, but then Island Yamaha asked me if I would like to run some laps at Sebring on a TZ-250 (D) with the possibly of getting a full ride for a partial AMA season. I jumped at the chance. We were at Sebring in September and Island Yamaha brought myself and two other riders to turn laps. I had never ridden a road race scooter but I took to it like a fish in water and had the fastest lap times so got the ride....Sebring was damn bumpy on the TZ, that was about all I remember. The other riders hated it and complained the whole time, but to me it was still silky smooth compared to motocross. What a fun year, ended up earning my 250cc/350cc AMA Experts license pretty quickly and raced in several races at Daytona in '75...I was very inexperienced but got a 5th place in one of the 250cc amateur's races (where I earned my Expert licenses) and so got to race in the 200. I was not competitive but stayed mid pack until one of my cylinders got scoured. My only claim to fame in that race was a certain #1 plated TZ-750 passed me coming off the front straight into the infield turn one....I tried following him through the infield to learn a few things and all I learned was KR was a bad man; he slid his TZ-750 all the way across the track at the button hook and was gone.

, Give Chin Track Day a look, you will be pleasantly surprised.
Got to enjoy 24 hours of lemons driving a sebring at sebring
Awesome video. Thanks for the tips.
Very cool.
outstanding video! thanks for sharing
Great video; very useful. The car sounds fantastic, too. /thumbup/
very helpful instruction! Thank you!
nice vid- like the freeze frame. There a couple things I would add but the reference points you mention are huge.
Wow just Wow and re-wow!
Wonderfull vid. Congrats
Well done Mr. Pomroy! I still like the high HP LINE 🥰
Very helpfull. Thank you!!!!
great video... thanks!
Who is the JackWagon that voted this down? Show yourself... Prius driver?
Nice video Jim, Chin runs a first class HPDE and you are one of the reasons for that.
Great pointers!
great! thank you
Thanks helped a lot
Glad you like it. This was going to just be a "proof of concept". I really want to do a better job with it. Management made a call to publish it now due to an impending deadline.
Great tips Jim i just got a few new references.
Hi there! There is a misconception that transferring weight to the outside tires improves overall cornering performance. It doesn’t. The reason is the load sensitivity of the tires, which is the same principle that allows for balance changes to the car when adjusting roll stiffness distribution. A car with less weight transfer always produce more cornering force, all else equal.
NIce to see the corner stations pointed out! OBEY YOUR FLAGGER!
Nice track review, please do more. BTW, What was that Lap Time?
2:32.17
Great video. I've learned to instead look at each corner and brake judging by the distance. I dunno. I feel like it makes more sense to keep your eyes where you want to go and not rely on brake markers. I only really use them when overtaking. Proceed to castrate me.
Synystr7 a nurburgring guy taught me the theory of this and I’ve worked on what he said and got faster braking as you mentioned. I use brake markers in heavy zones but it’s basically like “if i make it to the 3 without braking I’m in trouble”
Can you get through turn 14 w/o lifting in this car?
Jim, thanks yeah this was fantastic. Have watched it 4 times already..and will be studying it harder for help with iRacing laps and ultimately a HPDE event. Do you know of any other turn-by-turn such videos on CZcams?
I don't know of any right now. The plan is to produce one of these for each track Chin Track Days visits. You can visit Chintrackdays.com and sign up for the email list. You'll get the Track Times newsletter and these videos will be posted on there.
perfect thanks. I did find one called "How To Drive a Fast Lap of Sebring - /SHAKEDOWN" which is good too. I hear great things about Chin Track Days...looking forward to doing one of their Sebring events
@@ksjullion still waiting to see you out there! ;)
Nice. Don't hit the stop record or the brakes!!
Right, back to Forza and my terrible cornering scores I go...
7 minute lap at Sebring??
He lost time when he stopped to let your mother out.
@@wazzup7777 I asked a question before I even watched it if you gonna be a little keyboard warrior so be it but when I asked a question it wasn’t meant in a bad way go touch grass kid I was curious cuz it’s people out here moving faster than your young ass putting down sub 2 minute laps how long it takes for your mother to cum in bed 😂😂😂😂
