Impressive driving! I’ve been using your videos as reference, to gauge how far off pace I still am. Please keep posting (with telemetry if possible). I question your faith in those random GT drivers. How many of them do you think actually saw you in the mirrors before you were along side? 😅

Sonoma always puts me in the zone so quickly, it's my favorite to hotlap in a Radical on Assetto Corsa lately. Installed the track mod initially because I saw it on the 2024 Radical Cup NA calendar, but I realized I haven't actually seen the real thing even though I've done so many laps on the mod. This video is the first one I clicked on to see what a real Radical on Sonoma is really like, and man, you were sending it! My best time with a regular SR3 so far is 1:33.276 in ideal conditions, glad to see it's around what others are getting irl hahah

I just checked the source video before this was clipped out - and it shows the same. I think my camera wiring is shorting due to vibration and it's causing skips and jumps in the video. The speeds and times are very accurate, but the video itself is skipping frames. You can see it in the tachometer very clearly.

Ignore the track map of Sonoma Raceway in the top-left. My onboard AIM system didn't have Thunderhill West loaded in, so it was stuck at the previous track. The lap timer was useless without the context. I used the video to get lap times - but only to the second. 1m:18s and 1m:17s in this video!

0:21 What a fu**** up way for that LMP to pass. The Viper had to brake at Apex to yield. Staying closer to the Viper would be so much safer for both of them.
@joeracer3 жыл бұрын
This is an HPDE (point taken), but it is an advanced open-passing group. Folks in the session generally all race and are allowed to pass in any safe manner desired. There was nothing unsafe about the pass. The only thing possibly objectionable about it was that both cars had to sacrifice a few 0.1 of lap time for the pass - but it's an HPDE, so laps times are irrelevant (as is track position). Bottom line is that I disagree with your opinion that this was in any way unsafe. It would be unsafe in a novice group.
@shaoyiche84833 жыл бұрын
@@joeracer I think you missed my point. 1, LMPs and Radicals can out brake Vipers(Not only Vipers, most touring cars.) 2, LMPs and Radicals can carry a lot more speed at corner entry. However, the advantages here will be eliminated by unnecessarily trying to enter the corner from all the way inside. HPDE is a great place to practice, not just only to practice driving when you have clear track, but also to practice interacting with other cars. You just don't enter the braking zone all the way inside when the car being passed stayed all the way outside. Tell me, if you were the driver in the Viper, and saw a LMP passing you almost parked at the apex when you had a good entry and ready to get back the throttle, how would you feel?
@shaoyiche84833 жыл бұрын
@@joeracer When somebody does something that is not expected by other advanced drivers in an advanced group, don't you think that is unsafe? But, It doesn't really matter that much. Thanks for sharing the video. I enjoyed watching you driving your radical. Really nice driving there.
@joeracer3 жыл бұрын
actually on that more detailed point... I do agree that the all-the-way-inside at the apex braking line is a bit silly. I would have done my braking alongside the Viper, though still inside of it. I think any pass is safer if there is a higher chance of the passee seeing the passer. I guess my point is that passing under braking into a corner is racing 101. An advanced group driver, even at an HPDE, should know and expect this. I do agree with you - now that you pointed out the extreme inside line - that it was a bit silly. I'm not sure about unsafe, per se, but certainly not ideal. I suspect the LMP owner was concerned about getting near anything with that car. It is a monster!
