Turn 1 (Horse Shoe), 3 (Nascar Bend), 4 (Left Hook), 5/6 (Snake) ,14/15 (Roller Coaster) and 16/17 (Hog Pen) are critical Turns at VIR. The North Course allows you to practice and master these turns every 1.5 minutes.
Hint on Speed:
1. Listen to my engine going from a fast straight into a slow corner.
2. Look at my throttle at apex when exiting a corner.

I really like the added throttle feature you provided, thank you and great driving!
Happy to see more content in your subie! I also have a grey hatch and will be at VIR in May!
Nice! What group are you running with in May?
I didn't know cars ran the North course! I've only ever done it on a motorcycle. Always the full course when I've been there with the car.
North, South and Grand Courses are better than the Full Course for HPDE driver training. Roller Coaster, Hog Pen, NASCAR turn 3, and Turn 4 require the most practice before mastering them. With the North Course, these very important turns come around every 1.5+ minutes. You will see these corners every 3+ minutes (average) and only about 3- 4 times with Yellow, Black and Checkered flags during a typical 20 - 25 minute HPDE track session. I recommend Summit Point Main, PittRace, NCM, Mid-Ohio, VIR North Course, and Barber for true HPDE skill training from NOVICE all the way to Advance. If you don't have 300-500 whp at VIR Full Course, you will be wasting your time - skill improvement-wise. 🙂 You will notice that the tracks that I mentioned, you spend 50% of your time in corners, and 50% on the straight. VIR Full, Watkins Glen and Road Atlanta, you spend 80% of your time over 90 mph on straights and corners. Mistakes during training at those speed = totaling your car and also getting a $12K+ bill from the track for cleanup and wall/tire repair.
@h44 Makes sense. Although personally, I feel like I struggled most nailing the heavy braking zones on the front and back straights - usually over-braking and coasting. I am also guilty of coasting between 3-4 ( I do this on the bike too). The hardest turns from a consistency standpoint for me in the car were 10 and Oak Tree. 10 because it's fast, off-camber, and partially blind, and Oak Tree...I just haven't figured out the best line. The setup for HogPen is definitely tricky, as is the "kink" on the front straight. How does your coaching intro work? I've only run one HPDE weekend in the car and am registered for another at VIR in May, but the organizers provide instructors.
Instructor is no charge for NOVICE. You just need to email me at info@pfcoaching.pro to coordinate schedules.
What suspension/suspension mods are you running? Would love to see a build breakdown of your car!
is this car ej207? Would love some more info on it. Do you have a walkaround on any other socials?
EJ257 is the code name and the last EJ variant produced. It is a built motor with cams, all forged internals, close deck, 14mm studs, Diesel type head gasket, on and on. Running a stock sized, high flow turbo - FP Blue. E60 fuel at 22 lbs boost for HPDE. You will noticed at apex of last corner 2:52 where I reach down and turned up the boost to Sport+ mode which is about 26 lbs boost. The car never been on a Dyno so I don't have HP/Torque data. Greg at Mid Atlantic Speed & Customs tunes the car on the street which more realistically is what you see on the track. Car gets a Haltech ECU and Dry Sump oil system for 2024. More time and money was put into suspension and brakes. All are needed along with driving skills to complete a full package. It takes about $100K to build a 1:18 lap time car for Summit Point. Pretty much all the top 15 Street & Track Mod cars at Grid Life have over $100K in them. www.ProperlyFast.com Heading back to Barber in October to instruct for Chin. I have some unfinished business there! 🤫 ua-cam.com/video/qXym7GC4iGA/v-deo.htmlsi=ANVHZaLFPoMXjIlu
@@PFCoach44 this is an amazing build and your a great driver. Mad props! Would love to get to that level one day. How high does thing rev, bcuz it sounds like revs forever. Also It would be really cool if you could do a walk around video of the car. I'd love to see what it looks like and some basic suspension setup tips and tricks.
@@aliej8839 The car is located at Mid Atlantic Speed and Customs in Boyce VA. You are welcome to stop by and see it and ask all the questions. It was 3+ years of development and just a couple more mods will be made this spring. BTW, the engine is good for 8,500. I keep it at 8,000 for TT. But shift around 7,500 during HPDE events or just playing around. This video is the first competitive event where I turned up the rev limit and it dropped my lap time by a full second as I was able to cross the finish line at 130 mph in 4th gear. Also I was able go down to 2nd gear for Turn 1 and Turn 5. 🙂 ua-cam.com/video/AY7yBfwjLOs/v-deo.htmlsi=5GAbwUFiELME7u38
My glove box could never handle that 😅
is that a varisna rear wing?
Not the original Varis. I think it is AeroFlowDynamics. Now there are about a dozen companies selling similar Varis knockoffs for 1/3 the price. Probably only one asian company getting rebranded. 😮 You will spend more money with the painter.
@@PFCoach44 Ive been looking at the jdmuscle one, comes painted for 1100 or something with carbon, but I could also for that money flattening the underbelly and get a rear diffuser, is there any meaningful difference with these types of wings?
@@gunnimikki I can feel the effect of the rear wing and diffuser after 80 mph. It is evident on photos as the rear of the car definitely drops about 1- 1.5 inches. Also cleans up the drag from the inherent characteristics of a hatchback. The back of the car gets dirty in a different pattern showing that the exhaust is swirling back to the car.
@@PFCoach44 if you were to choose 1 to do first would it be wing or flat belly and diffuser?
@@gunnimikki Flat Under Tray and Diffuser. A Under Tray and Diffuser are the only modification in car that has all positives and no negatives. That is very rare. Downforce and no drag. A wing gives you downforce but comes with drag. A Gurney Flap to a wing is also a must. Porsche had to turn their flat 6 around in the 911 so they can have a functioning diffuser to compete with the other mid-engined LeMans cars. It shows you that the Cayman GT4 RS is a better track car than the 911 GT3 RS. 😊
I bet you only started in the back so you can chase the field 🤣.
You weren't suppose to see that!🤫 Did you notice that the Green Mini Cooper 0:34 started behind me and I was able to come around and lap it at 9:30. I give myself and my students these challenges ... just trying to win HPDE 🏁😎
@@PFCoach44 yup I saw that.
