So I have been watching videos of Miller track days and found a few mustang challenge races but they are on the long track. Most of what I recently found are from the local school or Vette days. one driver of a C5 Z06 seemed to be doing well, but I have a question. What will one of those car do mph wise in 4th gear? The straight at Miller is 3000' long. TWS is about 1900 feet if you include the acceleration zone in T16. in the Miller video, the Vette never got out of 4th gear going into the braking zone at T1 at MMP....
I wish I had a common data acquisition system so I could compare TWS laps against MMP laps on the 3.0 track as it seems the MMP track is on average, SLOWER that TWS. A surprise for sure especially with the long sweeping highspeed turns similar to TWS.
Mustang Challenge cars are seeing lap times right at 2:00 to 2:03 and they are about as fast as an ordinary AI car. TWS we see lap times averaging about 91.57....MMP is about 89.5 average, but I figured with that long straight the average should be higher. However, there are 2 second gear corners in a 3.55 geared MC car. Lots of 3rd gear corners and a few 4th gear ones.
Just trying to get a handle on that track if all goes well and I still make it.
