Another fun run on a real-world track, and in a great car. Unfortunately, I forgot to set the replay to "in-cabin" mode until about 0'20.000 into the lap, but I'll do the best I can to describe that part of the run anyway.
S: Rolling
I begin braking for Turn 2 as I approach the left side curbing, slowing from 149 to 73, and get back on the gas as I pass the inside curb. As the track widens to the right, I begin braking for Turn 3, slowing from 140 to 125, then get back on the gas as I roll over the left side curb. I brake for Turn 3a as I come off of it, slowing from 117 to 90 and ease back into the gas as I chunk the inside curb.
T1: 0'16.925
As I pass the end of the left side rumblestrip, I begin braking for Turn 4, taking speeds from 117 to 50, then get back to full throttle as I start to pass the right side curbing. I begin braking for the looping left of Turn 6 at the top of the hill, from 152 to 84, then get back to full throttle for the rest of the turn. I lift as I shift from 3rd to 4th, to help maintain the grip as I push through for the exit. I begin braking for the double-right at Turn 7 as the track darkens, slowing from 172 to 58, and flutter the throttle to bring the car around the second part of the turn. It's flat-out from there to Turn 8a...
T2: 0'50.322
I start to understeer toward the right while coming out of Turn 8, and as I'm about to roll over the right side curb, I swing the steering to the right and stab the brakes to go from 154 to 138, then get back to full throttle for the exit. Braking for Turn 10 begins when the Dodge banner along the left wall begins to go off screen, and I slow down from 178 to 140 while heading for the inside curb on the right. I get back to full throttle as I roll over it, and head for the final hairpin. I begin braking about 25 m before the cones appear on the left, slowing from 175 to 45, and my turn-in for the hairpin is too sharp and/or too early. I nudge the wall as I try to curl around, then get back to full throttle from there to the finish..
F: 1'16.066 @ 67 mph in 3rd gear
