I did some private instruction with Denny Stripling, a nationally competitive spec ford racer driver and great coach. You can find some of Denny's excellent videos here: [ Ссылка ]
We were having some issues with the clutch adjustment and the new shifter this day, which has now been resolved. This was one of the most consistent sessions I have had. Unfortunately it looks like there isn't really any time to be found in the car in its current configuration, but we spent a lot of time working on driving just as fast while being easier on the car. The car has an understeer issue at the limits that needs to be addressed.
We played with the data to compare times with a passenger and without and the car loses 1.5 seconds alone on the straights with a passenger. We didn't calculate the loss in the turns but I am usually right around or above 2 seconds a lap slower with a passenger.
