      Seat time and experience in a car does that. The first weekend I drove a Spec Racer Ford at MSR Cresson my times dropped by over 10 seconds on the course of the weekend. Once I got my own and drove it for the first time, I took 3 seconds off over the course of the weekend. After a year I'm able to keep up with the guys who've been doing it for years. The SRF's got no real downforce to speak of, I've heard that it takes a lot of seat time to get used to driving something with downforce because the way cornering ability varies with speed is completely different.

    I bet Scott was taking it relatively easy as well. I am looking at another comment about how the Praga test driver would compare to Scott, and I have to agree that would have been beyond interesting. I would settle for hearing how hard Scott was pushing. I guess the truth of that is that his pace was at the point when tenths of a second would be hard to gain. A stellar video though lads. Poor Will.
