Tiempo de la Vuelta 2:10.480 (+2.97s)

Temperatura Exterior 33° C

Best at 2:10.48, much faster than day 1 by about 3.5 seconds. Mostly in esses speed I am guessing. Plus I always have to improve the tire grip by changing pressures some.

Mods
Hotchkis sways full soft rear(still stiff enough to need less rear tire pressure)
RE-71RS on square 18x10s
EBC SR-21 front and rear pads
I turn all the nannies off, using auto blip :(

EBC SR-21 are actually ok once i learned I cannot mash the brake pedal like a german car.... Corvette brakes are not in the "feel" department

Miata Cup cars are fast through the tight sections, enough to make up the straights speeds. Same for Hyundai Sedan race cars at about 320HP, they were much faster through the esses with better aero.

My car needs more aero for sure but it needs brakes most. I switched back to the EBC SR-21 after DS UNO(1 and completely done) at Road Atlanta. I finally learned how to use the brake pedal on this car at RATL, no germanic hard pedal applications like in a BMW, there isn't alot of good feedback either but.... I may have to rely on auto blip unless I can get the pedal feel better.

I haven't been on VIR as a driver really until this WE last time my S54 blew up :( very early.
