Todd A Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Awesome course, Nick! Fast and technical, but somehow hardly any cone hits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeyers Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Smooth, easy to see and follow, not too technical. Lots to like. This one’s a “keeper”.😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSLance Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Yeah, I liked it as well. When the light nimble cars run pretty similar times as the heavy high horsepower cars, you know it's a well designed course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt U Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) Definitely a good course. Maybe I should have bought a Tesla without a 2nd gear rev limit instead of a STX car. Or I suppose I should learn how to shift properly. Either way, good course with plenty of ‘don’t be greedy’ sections, which I always enjoy.

Nick Sloan Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) Matt, I assure you I do not make a course to fit the car I drive. My initial feedback after starting to do this was things were to tight and lacked line choice. Learning from that while balancing safety concerns over the past 4 courses I have been working on opening things up. Maybe this event was a little to skewed in that direction, if so I will work to do better next time. I'm sure it was a joke, but I do not appreciate a public post insinuating I do anything for my own gain, because it is simply not the case.

SSLance Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 When we walked the course initially, my first thought was some sections would be super fast...when in fact (at least in the multiple high horsepower cars I drove) we never even got close to the rev limiters. I think what this showed is the lighter more nimble cars could carry more corner speed prior to the straights and therefore were faster in the straights, whereas the larger cars could not...therefore entered the straights slower and didn't get up to the higher speeds. I think this really helped to even the playing field for all and was one of the best parts about the course overall. That and the easy to follow, very little cone carnage\DNF issues encountered. More like this please Nick!! Awesome job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banner Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) I agree with Lance. The layout of this course was spot on and had something to offer for every platform. More of this! Edited September 29, 2021 by Banner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokones Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 My Corvette was happy with the course and I, as the driver, was just along for the ride. I can't speak for the other Corvettes but, I assume they like the course too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTP-Madmat Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 It flowed well and was very easy to follow. Like lance said us in the bigger more powerful cars didn’t have time to accelerate to limiter before having to get on the binders. The little cars definitely benefited from the sweepers to carry more speed. I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next event.

Nick, I trust your not designing courses for your own gain, and yes it was meant as a bit of a joke. Mostly it was a bit of a swipe at myself for not learning to down shift properly, leaving me hunting for a gear while coasting around track. So, there maybe some Tesla envy on my part as well. In all seriousness, I really liked the course and your designs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
