I was driving my friend's AP1 S2000 on Toyo RA1 again. We left Savannah, GA on Sunday morning and drove to Jacksonville to play with the Florida folks.

This was my first time on the Whitehouse Naval Air Station runway using R compound tires. My last visit I was driving the G and I was rolling on D1 Star spec street tires. The amount of grip between the concrete and R compound tire is phenomenon! Both Dan and I pulled well over 1.2G consistently on this grippy surface.

Anyway, below is my onboard video and few screenshots of the Racelogic Driftbox data.

The Driftbox is a very useful tool; after the race we can compare our lines and see how we can make up time in certain spot. Also, it allows us to see how our driving style/line affects the car speed and lateral G between runs. It would be great if this device can track throttle opening positing versus time.

There are lots of information hidden in the data, I just have to take my time and see what I can discover

This is the course map


This is what the GPS trace


The G-circle


With the "replay", we can track the speed vs. time vs. lateral G of runs


I'm sure most of you already have seen this product, but the nerd side of me just want to share this with you guys

Comments and suggestions are welcome!

 

i gotta say, the helmet is awesome

 

The datalogger is nice. I'll have to watch the video when I get home. Nice plots though.

 

That's not much of a course, even for autox...

 

Wow I agree. I would not pay to race on that course!

 

that's a bit harsh, IMO it flows well.
So what do you think is the major flaw of that course design?

sounds like you have been a lot more autoX than me, so enlighten me

 

SD has always been a hater.....take his comments with a grain of salt. He never provides substantiation for his comments either.

 

I'm sorry i don't mean to sound rude. I'm just used to a different layout I guess.
It's just two slaloms with a curve at the end. No variation, no straights. But the important thing is that you had fun! At the end of the day that's what matters.

On another note I will say that you driving is very smooth! I know that is one of the most important things with autox and from the video looks like you do that very well.
