Circuit of the Americas

Tatchump · 02-15-2016, 04:56 PM

We raced at COTA this past weekend with the WRL. We were doing good until we started having fuel issues. When it got down to half a tank, it would start sputtering and losing power. Top it off, and it would run fine for 45-60 minutes, then we'd have to come in for a jug of fuel. Still salvaged a 5th place finish in Sunday's race. Saturday, we replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter during the race. So that killed any chance of a decent finish. Although we were first in our class at one point.

I'll get some more video up over the next week or two, but here's my fastest lap from Sunday. It was the team's fastest lap also. I counted 22 shifts. That's a busy track.

A little more from Saturday. Hopefully, I'll be able to display some lap time and speed data on Sunday's videos. Waiting on the files from a teammate.
