Weekend at Pocono
A couple laps with the Corvette Club at Pocono north course. https://youtu.be/PbOc8sQ6KRU

Nice driving and great job of focusing on driving your line. The Corvette driver really "diamonds" every corner - very much a point and shoot driver. You did a nice job of bending the car into the corner on entry and rolling onto the throttle at apex.
The easy comment to make is to use more (all) of the track - often you're a foot or sometimes even more from the track edge and that is a lot of real estate to leave on the table. IMHO, the Vette owed you a point by. :) |
Yes great job. Much better line than the Corvette. You catch up in braking and cornering and he should have pointed you by. What tires are you running?
My car has a lot of the same mods you have, except for the 3.6 :D Does the E Power steering pump make a measurable difference? How does the car feel? Have you dynoed it yet? |

Let's say lap times where exactly the same for both cars. That would mean that the Boxster would only catch up to the Corvette just prior to the long straightaway, then the Corvette would pull away and stay away until the next lap. But the fact that the Boxster catches up in the first or second turn upon braking, is a sure sign that it is quicker than the Corvette. |
I caught him about 5 laps before this in traffic and he did give me the wave by. He followed me for about 4 laps, and much like the way he hauled away from me on the straight I pulled 70 to 100 yards on him in the infield. I was enjoying following his line for a while. I was not concerned about getting by him. Some times at a DE you just play with a guy, its not a race.
