Any idea how much it costs?
$75 for non PCA members.Quote:

In.
It would be a shame for you to win by default in your class, leave the hoho's at home and come play in 2X.Quote:

Cost for PCA members? I assume you can bring any car...
Bring any car. If you own a Porsche and you're a member, then you don't need to ask. ;)Quote:

Hrmm...tempting. How many laps is this again?
I'm always just thankful to get one lap in.Quote:

Fastest street tire lap on RS3

Miata lap video before I broke it again.

Going for the big O, almost got there with a 65.3. Not sure if this was the lap, as it got waved off for timing issues, but it was close.

Data analysis can be an exercise in frustration.
Best rolling lap was my 65.2 until I blew the last turn. Could have been a 64.8 except lost it in the last sector (toilet bowl).

Best theoretical lap could have been a 63.9. This is the best of each sector.

What does this mean? I am not driving constantly throughout each lap.
What software will analyze a racelogic file on Mac?
Not sure. Bootcamp and install Windows.Quote:

After reviewing the video, my lines are awful, braking too early, too much, not carrying good speed through the corners, etc. Its really obvious I haven't been on a track in almost a year.
So, my datalogger shows that I had peak latG's of 1.109 several times. That seems like a decent number for 195/15 street tires on a 6.5" wheel, but it didn't feel all that grippy on track. I assume I must have left a lot of time out there if I was able to get grip like that at times, even if i wasn't holding the line to keep that grip. Anyone feel liek they can analyze my data and tell me anything more from it?
Most all data loggers put out lateral g numbers that are not accurate. They pick up the body roll and interpret that as lateral g. More body roll, more g's. Even a stiffly sprung car will read quite optimisticly.Quote:

0:30 - Cut distance here. In a momentum car there is no reason to use the whole width of the track.Quote:

I agree and would add too early on the turn in at :41.Quote:
