Both lead onto long straights so I’m sure I left a b...

Here's Wills 2:39.25 his optimum was 2:38.9 for the session. I've put both odb2 and GPS speed. The odb2 fell out at one point. This is in Vinods Street port on Bridgestone potenzas. https://youtu.be/Q-5biciF3SY Great lap! Picked up some good tips to try next time, the downshift to 3rd in the last p...

Think it’s the Wing/International Pits as it’s the full circuit, but we shall see.
Surprised it didn’t mention during the sign on and briefing.

2 1/2 blistering laps and then du du du misfire and rough running. Engine cut in the exit road and despite efforts of just about everyone the engine would not fire up.

Lots of people tend to start h...
