It usually takes me the first session to come to grips with the car. The tires need at least 1.5 laps to warm up, and then I need to get off to adjust my tire pressures.

Can't fix everything at once, but one of my first driving coach's basically got me to me to focus on max of 3 things to change/practice at a time.
what you don't see is the 100's of events/1000's of laps behind someone else's experience as they come out guns blazing, they all started where you are.
Went to VIMC over the weekend on Sunday. My friend had fixed a couple issues with the car when I last drove it in May. Earlier in the morning already did a 1:18.1 but knowing there was time on the table still. Decided to chase for the sub 1:18 and got a 1:17.77
Anyone do a 7 day trip down to the states to hit up a bunch of tracks over summer?
Havent looked into it, figure drive one day, track next, repeat till you get home
Could go sit on a beach and do nothing for a week in mexico for 3 grand
Or you could go abuse your car for a week straight for the "same" kind of money is my logic
I wanted to do this along Cali or smt. Do a road trip to Cali, hit up the tracks, hit up the canyons, and then hopefully your car is still in one piece to get home LOL

2026?
We can tow each other if one of us breaks down
End of season update, did mission two more times. Two weeks ago just straight up butchered all my laps
Yesterday chewed off a whopping 0.1 seconds from my record two months ago.
Also got to drive when it was fully dark on track, that was awesome.

Be REALLY REALLY REALLY careful in Monterrey county, that court does NOT play with traffic tickets.
Many CA traffic lawyers do NOT take cases in that county.
Got a chance to try R34 GT-R at VIMC last weekend. Definitely not what I expected in handling from what would expect from games like Gran Turismo or Assetto Corsa.
Watching the video I didn't expect you to basically neutral steer and a bit of counter through turn 3, I kind of expected the R34 to be more understeer.
Ah that would have been cool to see. I paid for a spot in that weekend but for some reason thought it was on Sunday. I probably could have even made it still except for the second time in eight years my kids let me sleep past 7am. :/
During my last change to track pads, my car had "bent rotor" syndrome on low braking, when you hit the brakes, it would feel like the stop/go/stop/go every revolution.
It didnt make any sense because my street pads literally 30 minutes before did not have this.
Anyways, did 2 track days, blamed it on the rotors.
Today i changed the pads back to street pads. The warped rotor feeling is gone, even braking at high and low speed.
Someone riddle me how track pads would cause this?
Next up: why are my rotors getting eaten up on closer to center layer? You can see the slots are gone on the right rotor, and half gone on left rotor.
Lastly: how much rotor life do you think i have from the above "heat checks?"
The rotors looked nearly the same 2 track days ago.
I have new rotors on standby during track days.
Fourthly: carbotech xp10 and xp12 pads are dead to me. They got used up in 2 track days at mission.
Meanwhile EBC SR-11 pads have held up to 2 abusive mission days, and they are not even 50% worn.
5th'ly: only chewed off 0.1 seconds from mission 2 months ago

Have you checked if the pads are tapering weirdly? That might explain why the inside of the rotor is getting worn first.
That would be a yes, theres probably a 20% difference on some pads, all 3 sets ive gone through have had this at least in one corner.
The thing is, the 2 pistons are positioned centered, its not like its pushing top/bottom.
Ive also had to grind down the inner edge on all new pads by a little before install, otherwise they always took a fair amount of time before the pad had 100% contact. (Due to rotor previous rotor wear)
I wonder if im bleeding the calipers improperly causing the above. Or its just track dependent
