[QUOTE="brkntrxn, post: 10516667, member: 12396"] To echo David's point, the best thing about Time Trialing and being in TTA-TTF is that there SHOULD always be a faster rabbit in front of you. For me, it is the faster TTS-R cars. For a TTD car, it should be the faster TTC cars. Doug, Another question for you: do you or have you ran any type of data acquisition? I ran a buddy's TraqMate some last year in my car and he and I spent weeks over the winter comparing our data to the data of the fastest TTA cars. We were able to identify several key areas where we were OVERDRIVING the car and becoming slower. If it had not been for the data, I would never have realized how slow you have to enter T1 of CMP in order to get a good run through T2 and to the exit of T3. Which led to a faster entry into T4. By slowing down a little more (ie 5 mph more) in my braking of entry into T1, I was able to drop my segment times from T1-T4 due to increased T2-T3 speeds. Despite a LOT of seat-of-the-pants practice on this area over 2010, I was not able to FEEL the difference on how much that would help me. When I go through T1 now, I feel like I am almost going to slow, but I know it works because my speeds to T4 are greater. -Kevin [/QUOTE]
