Type R Spring Track Day - May 24-25, 2025 VIR

Nope. I’m hoping to get some from you and bigbird at the track. Plus, we would be in the same session, I’d just follow on the first two laps each session.

The guy has some pretty solid tips. There are certainly a few more that I'm hoping to share!

I can definitely tell you if the track goes left or right or up or down, but I'm not more helpful than that right now until I get my mind right.

Gear selection is a big one, even though it seems like a no-brainer!

Play with cars long enough your going to wreck at some point. It's normal however you still have experience to offer people.

It’s never a no brainer. When to get into a certain gear. Which part of the track before to shift to settle the car. Whether to stay in the gear or shift just to have to shift back. Those are the best tips.

I was trying to pump @BigBird up! I know that he knows these things, so his knowledge and what he can share with others is still super valid!

so the 3 times I went there, had about 4 dry days total, between 3 different cars in 3 years....
2:11 laps in Golf R DSG, and Elantra N DCT and post headcase 2:20 laps in Type R.

maybe after a complete good day, I could be of good help. Right now. 3rd and 4th gear and go, brake at the invisible 10th brake marker ?

I just booked lodging and garage. Planning to do the 3 days.

Now I'm second guessing everything I booked ? I was going to stay at track but the $440 Airbnb got me

more mods with the money you saved. My mods list this year is going to be very short.

Any of you guys have the seat back protectors?

 

[svvitch]

Yea I have the dream auto ones. They fit fine? I have 2 car seats so don't really see them. The seat protectors haven't moved since I installed them.
