We are reverting back to our usual format for Mosport. Heats will be 15 and 30 laps.
I have just finished running a 15 lap test in the Vintage GTO. I was easliy able to do 15 laps with 20 gallons of fuel. The tires were in good shape at the end. I was easily able to complete more than 2 full laps after getting the low fuel warning.
Fast laps will be under 1:10, with GTQ probably being about 2 or 3 seconds slower.
I used the GTO setup for Monaco with only a taller final drive and
more fuel. The handling of the car was the best it has ever been. I'm still learning about setups and preparing for Monaco taught me a lot.
To assist in learning the track, I've created a hotlap to be found in the SNR files section under Hotlap VCR replays. Yes, I realize that you already know Mosport, but you still have to learn the car as well as refresh your memory for the track.
As you will see, I made several mistakes during the lap, but was
still able to post a low 1:09. This hotlap is intended only to show
what is possible in the GTO. And, perhaps, some mistakes not to make. The right hand corner where I went over the curb (before the hair pin) is not a mistake. Doug has confirmed that going over the curb there is actually used at Mosport (the real Mosport) and it is the fastest way through that corner.
I expect to improve as the week goes on. Perhaps Doug will post a lap to show the best lines?
