Thanks!
Weight: The car—no fuel no driver—is around 3085 lbs. I’m 180 with my gear on. Figure half a tank of gas is around 50 lbs. So total driving weight is around 3315 lbs. Whp is in the 550s.
For my first trip to VIR, I was ok with the results, but I had to fight hard to find open track in the brutal heat. (Had a solid 1:57 going on Sunday morning when I caught traffic after the back straight. On my build thread, I went into some detail about how the sessions went.)
After my results in the 94ºF temps, other people have said 1:56 should be no problem on a cooler day. I do believe 1:56 would be quite doable given that I've already been on mid-1:57 pace and I feel like there's quite a bit more to learn there. Some others have predicted even more aggressive times. hehe I don't know what to say about that other than, I would love to go back and keep learning. Ultimately, I really enjoyed VIR. Glad that SYT_Shadow talked me into adding it last minute to the WGI trip.
