Learning VIR…

My Helmet Design VIR

Week 2 of the Skip Barber series has required me to make a concerted effort to learning VIR (the full layout). I have been looking forward to, and regretting this for some time!

I actually like this track though, it feels so natural, and about as far removed from a flat oval as you can possibly imagine. At over two minutes a lap it doesn’t get boring, and to be honest, there are only a few corners that require any serious care and attention…

That said, I am trying to improve my laptimes here as it’s lacking currently. The top reference times are mid 2:10′s and I am some ways off with mid 2:13′s. Abstracting out where I expect to be relative to the aliens I am looking at a personal best pace of around 2:12, so that is my focus and goal.

I don’t think I’ll get there this week, so hopefully next time around I’ll be able to shave off the tenths and see a 2:12…
