Also this video is everything about what I can't do in the Skippy yet (I don't know why I can't embed this one):
* smooth
* hitting apexes
* balanced
* effortless
* fast
Finally, some cats hitting apexes and powering to the track out point:
After doing nearly 50 laps(!) with AB in the Skippy last night as a familiarisation exercise (muchos gracias) I went back to the RUF at COTA and stayed up to 2FrickenAM (Australian Eastern Stupid Time), and finally got down into the high 1:34's. By geez, I have some consistency to work on and where the top guys find another 3 seconds I have no idea, but now I really do enjoy the S's there and I really enjoy that track I have to say. That first corner is so deceptive, have to brake so much earlier than it looks. I still can't nail the 2nd to last corner, it looks easy, but I just can't do it well (I do a fine pirouette). The fast sweeper just prior is just unbelievably good fun when you know you can plant the right foot and get the boost up, wow, electric.
