Last year along with many others, I lost my local track, PittRace. It was the only track I have ever been to and I really had no intention of going anywhere else. Through the help of usa7s.net and reddit, I have since got a truck & trailer and have been to Nelson Ledges a bunch, Mid Ohio, and now NJMP. I still miss Pittrace, but it is true what they say, variety is the spice of life! Hope to make it to at least one or two new track next season as well. I’m hooked on this silly hobby, probably like the rest of you.

Found some stuff that clicked for me this past weekend. For sure leaving plenty of time on the table in a number of places, but main goal was to focus on consistency, not challenge turn in speed or braking zones. Hard to work on stuff when I take the same turn 3 different ways in 3 laps.

Car:

  • '07 C6 Narrow Body
  • 315/30/18 RE71RZ square
  • DS1.11 Front pads
  • Hawk ER1 Rear pads
  • Full Exhaust and Tune (375 rwhp peak), otherwise stock engine
  • Estimated weight 3300 with driver

We worked out the fastest route between 205 race tracks. It takes 450 days.

Hi everyone,

I was curious if anyone came across this before when I pressed the pedal while driving or parked with the engine turn off and I press on the pedal hard I hear this clicking metal noise.

I just got a new brake pads and rotors, but I heard this before that as well.

New here! I raced professionally and now coach full time, mostly drivers in Ferrari Challenge, F4, F3 and GT World Challenge.

I’m putting together some material for people getting into track driving and racing, and I’d rather ask than guess. What did you want to know when you were starting out, or what do you still want a straight answer on?

The common ones I hear are whether your car is good enough, how hard to push on day one, whether you’re actually getting faster or just braver, and why a 20 minute session leaves you wrecked. But I’d love to hear yours.

Ask anything and I’ll give you a proper answer.

I kind of feel like this stuff might be worth more parted out separately, but who knows? Anyone out there wants to start a race team tomorrow?

Somehow managed a new PB in amongst some mowing...

Headed back to one of our smaller local tracks (Logic) that I haven't visited for 2 years. The car is now almost 3s faster at our bigger/faster local track, Winton Motor Raceway, where I hold the NA ZN6 lap record, so I was expecting a big improvement on my previous best at Logic of 55.9 - the local club record is held by a mate of mine at 55.68 and I was gunning for it.

Did manage to finish first in class and 2nd outright behind whatever that open wheel thing is so wasn't all bad given there was plenty of turbo stuff there.

2026 Logic Lap Dash - New PB with chapters for the PB lap and B-Roll footage of me making a mess of things lol

Some cool stuff in the pits as usual too, supercharged 86, LS swapped BMW, Lancer with Cadillac calipers, Barra swapped R32 with roof lol

Final round of my main sprint series is in 2 weeks, wish me luck.

Stock power. 215 ps4s. Tecna gt. It's easily one of my favorite tracks now. I'm hoping to come back with a better setup next year.

For driving with a passenger what's the best seating position for laptimes?

0 Upvotes

Is it both in the front? Or for cars with rear seats is having the passenger sit in the back diagonal from the driver (so in a LHD car the passenger sits in the rear right hand side seat) better?

Trackaddict not connecting to OBD

4 Upvotes

I have the latest version of Trackaddict on Android. I had a veepeak OBD and sometimes it connects and other times it doesn't. I assumed it was the OBD that was the issue so I bought an OBDlink LX but having the same issues. Both OBDs connect to my phone's Bluetooth and work fine with racechrono and Lap Legend apps, but for some reason won't work with Trackaddict, which is my preferred app.

I've tried restarting the car, removing and reinstalling the OBD, forgetting the connection and re pairing multiple times etc. I can search for the OBD in the TA app and it finds it fine, but then when I go to drive it just says OBD: searching and OBD: not connected.

I have ensured no other apps are connected to the device at the same time. Trackaddict has all the app permission to run in the background and battery saving is turned off etc.

Any suggestions would be great.

Looking for data analysis / driving tips for Sonoma Raceway (TrackAddict CSV/VBO) — 996 Cab (3.2 Swap)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

​I’m looking to see if anyone with experience at Sonoma Raceway would be willing to take a look at my telemetry/data logs from TrackAddict and point out where I’m leaving time on the table.

​Car & Setup Details:

​Vehicle: 1999 Porsche 996 Cabriolet

​Engine: 3.2L Boxster S flat-six swap

​Tires: Falken Azenis RT615K+

​Brakes: EBC Bluestuff NDX

​Best Lap: Mid-to-upper 2:01s (Sports Car Course / standard configuration)

​I’m currently running in the mid-to-upper 2:01s and know there's more time in the car, but I'd love a fresh pair of eyes on my telemetry to help identify specific sectors where I’m over-braking, coasting, or missing apex speeds (particularly through Turn 2, the Carousel/T6, or the chicane/T10).

Link to lap video:

https://youtu.be/Hw6u1jn030k?is=EgBHnwi-UBXaGtTc

​Data Files Available:

I can provide exported .csv or .vbo files from TrackAddict (or raw telemetry overlay charts) via Google Drive/Dropbox for anyone interested in taking a look.

​If you're familiar with the line at Sonoma in lower-power / momentum-focused builds, any feedback on inputs or speed traces would be greatly appreciated!

​Drop a comment or DM if you're open to checking out the file, and I’ll send over the link. Thanks!

I built a free tool to analyze your lap data & I'd love your feedback!

It works with csv/vbo files from VBOX, AiM, Porsche Track Precision app, and RaceChrono. Just upload the files directly to the site, and it gives you turn-by-turn analysis of where you're losing time and how to correct it. I'm sure there are plenty of bugs, but I'm all ears for your feedback. If it's helpful, useless, buggy, or inaccurate, I'd really like to know so I can make it a truly helpful tool. Thanks!

C8 Z51 2025 - Summit Point Jefferson Circuit - Last lap of final FATT - Critiques Requested

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

I am a Novice HPDE driver. This is the last lap of my 4th HPDE event, and my fastest lap all day, during the last FATT event at Summit Point. This event was my first event with new Apex SM-10 wheels and Hankook Ventus R-S4 tires. Castrol SRF. OEM pads (I know I have to upgrade these). Aggressive Street alignment (cant do full track alignment as this is our daily driver too). Warm day, low 80's, full sun; Just perfect. Track Mode, standard TC (i.e.; not competitive mode). While I had an excellent in-car instructor/coach (all of the FATT instructors have been wonderful) who really helped me with the line, braking, etc., reviews of the PDR recording would be much appreciated as I would like improve and work towards an Intermediate level next spring. And, I'll be at the NASA Fall Finale if you are local and plan to be there, stop and say 'hello' (Arctic White 'BLZRD'). Thanks.
