TURN 3 SKI JUMP
Jun 12th, 2012 at 4:34pm
 
Is it just me or does turn 3 seem to be a little more of a bump than it use to be ?

Me thinks its a good place for the club to spend the next batch of doh.

and on a side note , saw 3 people almost twist an ankle going through the gate to hot pit lane near pit 19ish?

get a bucket load of gravel and leave it there, i will glady spead it around the SINK hole in two weeks when im there

Chris,
I will look into T3. I have not noticed any change or heard from anyone about it. The fill is on its way for the area you described. Thanks for offering to do the hard work of spreading it around.

We should restore the original turn three; Laguna has the 'Corkscrew' as it's feature corner, we should have the 'Mission Mound'. It would give the flag marshals some entertainment too Grin.

I dunno, the ski jump is kinda the only interesting thing about that turn.. I say if we get rid of the jump, we should make the turn in 15 feet early to make it a real corner instead of a handbrake hairpin!  Grin

Of course if you drive the 'correct' line it's not a hairpin  Wink.
You have a handbrake in your Vee Tiago Roll Eyes ???

Hey Dood in my video your car is smoking on the first couple of laps, do you have an oil leak?

You're right about the line, but in a Vee it's still too slow of a corner to be any fun.. Most guys are lugging come out of there.. Anyway, it's a feature and we all love it for what it is Smiley
