Tsukuba Circuit (筑波サーキット) DC5 Time Attack 12/05/2010

The day started off very wet as it had been raining alot since the day before but luckily by the time my sessions started at 3:30pm the circuit had dried up and the temps stayed relatively low around 20 degrees C.

Camber adjustments made by Seeker the other day worked very well ! In fact for the first time ever at Tsukuba I was able to consistently and comfortably run multiple laps under 1 minute 10 seconds with the best lap being 1'09''71 !! The car was experiencing a bit of oversteer though which needed to be corrected by making rear damper settings 1 notch softer (5) and reducing tyre pressure in the rear down to 210kPa.

It was a very consistent performance from me and the car !

  1. Great Video,
    I think you may want to rev the engine a little bit higher on the heel & toe though, you can hear, and see on the tachometer that the engine is under revved.

    Other than that great lines, glad you are using the car on the race track where it belongs :)

  2. very good observation! In fact this under-revving caused some short lived wheel spin when changing down to 2nd from 3rd. The engine speed wasn't matched high enough to the wheel speed causing the wheel to have to catch up and spinning as a result
