Dude you need more content on your channel... 5-6 videos just isn't enough. You have really valuable insight to share!!

[@turnnburn9008]

man you must have had some vacation Billy, been waiting for ever for new laps, awesome!

[@OneLapBilly]

Thank you for sticking around! I hope it was worth the wait. 🙂

[@von...]

yo, so stoked I decided to check if you have been posting on this channel. deffo subbed & I am hyped to run through the backlog of videos :)

[@OneLapBilly]

Thanks for the comment. I'm glad to hear you're liking the content 👍

[@TrackDayVideo]

Fabulous video and details on the lap…. My guess is like many supercar owners is they don’t actually track it, more so hit cars and coffees. So glad new content is coming! Liked and fb shared!

[@OneLapBilly]

Thank you 🙂 The owner actually tracks all of his cars quite frequently. He just got really bad advice from what should have been a more educated source.

[@TrackDayVideo]

@@OneLapBilly glad to hear 👂 I hate the buy and hide crap.

[@menfouine]

Hello Billy, I am from Switzerland, I met you in Vegas some years ago at Sema. The FXMD was amazing 😄

[@OneLapBilly]

Way cool. Blast from the past! Thanks for commenting.

[@scoobertdoo4223]

Love the channel so far! Came from rob dahms channel

[@OneLapBilly]

Thanks for checking it out 👍

[@2fast2nick]

Dang, that's fast

[@ivanjuras9450]

Another great video by a great driver!....please keep them coming. I also hate in-car video with commentary, so thumbs up for that 👍👏

[@GetBehindtheWheel]

Hell Yeah!! Congratulations Billy!!!

[@OneLapBilly]

Thank you much 👍

[@CWIPerformance]

Nice work Billy!!

[@AndyHollis33]

Love these vids, Billy...keep up the good work. One question...were you paddle shifting manually or did you run it in auto mode?

[@OneLapBilly]

Thanks for the feedback 👍. Always manual shifting.

[@kylewong5961]

Isn't the track record at buttonwillow held by PZ Tuning's Civic, 1:37.308? Or is this best lap time in a stock car

[@DriveBreakFixRepeat]

Man, the setup choices on the car REALLY hindered things. Cornering speeds through all the low speed sections -- Grapevine, Phil Hill, Sweeper, etc. -- were on par with what I do in my Civic. Ouch. Clear to see how much you were fighting it. Betting a factory fresh Senna on the good tires might just crack a 1:40.

[@OneLapBilly]

It just might!

[@11ellswray]

Just watching one lap Billy videos today

[@OneLapBilly]

Haha. That slow of a day? 😂

[@11ellswray]

@@OneLapBilly just that good of content!

[@davidclark5155]

Nice lap, love these videos. From the camera angle it looks like your pretty close to the wheel. Do you use the wrist on the top get right distance, or does that even matter to you? Also cant wait for a lap in a 197, maybe with the nt01s!!!

[@OneLapBilly]

That's the best method and what I do. It's just the camera angle that throws off the perspective. I might do MotoIQs Project Budget 400whp S197 Track Car as an upcoming OLB video.

[@davidclark5155]

@@OneLapBilly if u do the mustang maybe throw some tips in too, I'm driving almost the same setup

[@usabequien]

Great Job Billy. I love the re-engineering of a fine car by an American guru. Mclaren I'm sure spent several days on tracks with multiple professional drivers not as good as you and post rigs to set up that car and someone decided it wasn't good enough😂😂😂

[@OneLapBilly]

Consider watching the video again, you'll see that I said the alignment specs and tire choice of this particular car was NOT what the factory McLaren engineers and drivers came up with.

[@usabequien]

@@OneLapBilly Well understood Billy. I am not calling you an America Guru. I know too well your ability to set up a car and rely it to race engineers. I listen really well to your comments on the video and your advises are 100% correct! Joe blow in his shop shouldn't re-engineer such a great car. keep doing what you are doing, it,s fun to watch.

[@s0apb0x]

Holy snikes! Great t-shirt! I wonder if Callahan makes brake pads for McLaren. :P

[@OneLapBilly]

Lol. Thanks 👍

[@Chilicharger665]

Wow, I really wish we could've seen the true potential without the "track guru" giving his input on the Senna beforehand...

[@OneLapBilly]

Me too. Now I just need to find another Senna....

[@gbgt2]

Great video! Shame about the setup. It would be awesome to see the difference with you driving the stock camber on the Trofeo R.

[@OneLapBilly]

Thank you. Me too. Maybe I'll get the chance one of these days. You never know.

[@TrackDayVideo]

I still would love to see like a 2016 Viper ACR, how that car stacks up today. I still think that's the hidden gem although the prices are soaring on the ACR especially the extreme.

[@zladdujsic4665]

unreal !!

[@ClaytonYatescarenthusiast]

Do you know if the Corvette version of the cup 2 that came stock on 2019 z07 pack are as fast as some of the others? They're runflat and have about 75 to 80% left. Trying to decide if I'll run those at my next time attack at Buttonwillow or my regular Falken rt660 setup. Would love to hear any feedback. They're allowing anything 60 tw and above. But both options I currently have. Thanks! By the on a c7 z06 non z07 with some aero and little more power.

[@diegougarte]

Nice video! could you do a video explaining how to get the telemetry for our local events

[@OneLapBilly]

What would you like me to explain about telemetry?

[@diegougarte]

How to get and visualize the data maybe

[@yasinthephotographer5508]

that understeer is so bad wow but great explanation Billy!

[@GrabberBlue5.2]

nice billy. hey think you'll put the new Z06 to the paces on a track next year?

[@OneLapBilly]

I know of some people who are getting cars. Hopefully I'll get a chance to set a time on new sticker tires. Should be fast. Maybe even faster than this Senna lap!

[@GrabberBlue5.2]

@@OneLapBilly faster than Senna 👀

[@TrackDayVideo]

@@GrabberBlue5.2 hmm doubt it…

[@OneLapBilly]

@@TrackDayVideo the Z06 has Cup 2 R tires and with a track alignment, it may be possible...(than this particular car).

[@TrackDayVideo]

@@OneLapBilly I was thinking just the weight difference alone would be fight physics more, but I hope it’s possible! It’s not a carbon tub like Senna

[@ITOzann]

Legend!

[@omg_720s]

Did you run the McLaren laps with ESC set to dynamic? Curious to know how much the systems help or hinder you.

[@OneLapBilly]

I always drive with everything turned off.

[@yeahitskimmel]

Shame there wasn't more snow on the track so you could charge them for plowing through a bunch of turns

[@SomeDude365]

those cars desperately need a wider front tire to match the aero....295/305 minimum....would require different wheel i'd imagine. Nice one on the shirt btw..

[@ForbyVids]

bad tires and bad alignment. thats FSE lol

[@BackroadBender]

i mean for these very beginner drivers in sennas and supercars, it will be easier to drive
