Thanks for that. Seems only a very few were willing to really race that day, and we got to ride along with one who did.




She made it look so effortless, and rarely had to make large corrections.

I think that is where her HUGE advantage came from. She's probably driven that track in those exact conditions three dozen times. IMO a track that's neither dry nor wet consistently is the worst - and most of those drivers looked like they were struggling with that.

This is no doubt true. I showed it to one of my co-workers, who asked "So how did she qualify so badly?" We're thinking that maybe she took a grid penalty to change from slick tires to intermediates or wets, and all the folks she was flying past decided to soldier on with their qualifying rubber. Don't know at all, but seems plausible.

But yes, clearly it went wrong.

Choking on a BBC = GIGO, but it is funny.

Only if you don't have a turbo!

Never had a problem with my car at Laguna, even at 90db.
