This past weekend was CMP for me. The pagid endurance pads are lasting, they just don't brake as well. Next pad with either be one of the BMW carbon ceramic pads I have, or Carbotech XP's. Shawn |

The uphill esses scared me once too. I was in my 09 CTS-V and entered the esses faster than before because I took the preceding turns faster. I got scared with how fast I was going so I lifted...and that unsettled the car and there was a lot of pucker factor. They had said don't lift there before we even got on the track. But I never quite had the guts to go as fast there again.

PLAN your entry speed, and stick to it. Plan the exit speed and manage it. Consistency is the trick to going fast at VIR. Just finished a weekend at CMP, and all the people there were afraid of VIR because of the high speeds and quickly rolling turns. Very different than CMP, and it shows. Although the kink can be JUST like VIR with speed and losing control. Shawn |

UPDATE:
SOMETHING about my setup is giving me some brake *judder* under heavy braking. I switched out the Pagid RS-29's for stock BMW pads with the metal rotors due to the judder from VIR in November. It is improved dramatically, but under very heavy braking. I suspect the microcracks in the rotor. I am considering replacing for my next event. Shawn |
