I tried very hard to listen for any hint of recirc noise and cannot hear any in your videos. I like that alot. Just seems to be very different to all the other EFR 6258 standard recirc valves I've heard (still a very audible recirc sound - which I dislike). Would you happen to be using a standard EFR recirc valve?
It is however competing against a lot of surrounding noise, a loud exhaust and being conveyed through headphones. Is it the case in real life, no recirc noise to be heard, only sweet spool up/down sound?
Cheers

Standard recirc valve, yes. Can't be heard, even in person, because it's fairly low boost and it's competing with a 3" open exhaust which dumps under the car, as evidenced above. It is very audible in the street car with a full exhaust. If you don't like the recirc noise, I highly recommend the open exhaust to mask it

1. Shorter distance line through T1 kept you in his side mirror the entire turn. That would be nerve wracking.
2. That looks like a TON of shifting. Characteristic of Sonoma or the power/gearing combo?

That was a fun video! That was probably the first full race video I have ever watched all the way through! I remember that track from my old Gran Turismo days. It used to be called Infineon, right?
You really need some data overlay on these vids, I want to see what G's you are pulling and how fast you are going

Nice driving, well done. Also cool to see you ripping down what I would consider the return track at 100 something. We aren't supposed to exceed 20 there, people would get run over otherwise.
Does this mean you will be there tomorrow?

Awesome video, nice driving. Car looks like a blast.
What happened with the DQ's in time trials?
