Ridge Official Track Record

YES! We set the fastest overall lap ever recognized by the Ridge Motorsports Park at 1:31.421 at the 2023 Global Time Attack event at the Ridge. Looking at the Motec data across my sessions, it is apparent there is a good improvement to be had if I can get all my best segments into one lap. This is a "good" lap but definitely not a great one. 1:30 next year!

Great lap! Congrats on the overall official record!!!

very crispy footage, was waiting all night for this to drop haha congratulations again!

[@lowside67]

Thanks man, we didnt even get home until nearly 1am haha.

[@thebrianlee]

T1 was pure insanity! Congrats on the record.

[@lowside67]

Thanks very much! To be honest, that was actually one of the worst parts of my lap compared to some others I did. I was down 6kph ~4mph to my best on another lap. It is a very intense feeling to force yourself to not lift and just turn in at that speed.

[@crxracer98328]

140mph at the apex of 1 is madness.

[@LiquidTurbo]

Congrats on an amazing time and amazing driving! A joy to watch

[@lowside67]

Thanks, it's an incredible experience in the cockpit, the videos don't do it justice, but I'm glad they are enjoyed!

[@CarPlusTuner]

Congrats! Great driving 👍

Beautifully done, and I love the data overlay. Congratulations on the badass achievement!

[@lowside67]

Thanks man, I think it's cool to see my inputs, etc

[@sparkys2k]

@@lowside67 me too, I'm a big fan of a good data overlay - especially for cars that I consider to be competition!

[@lowside67]

@@sparkys2k The sister car to mine is for sale south of Seattle... if you really want to come for some competition ;)

@@lowside67 haha, I'm still working my way out of enthusiast class. How about you throw on some shitty tires and install an interior with the sound system and we'll talk 🤣

[@Vultite]

Nice setup, holding great speed in the turns

[@rooneyyomamma9290]

I was there and that car was so amazing to watch!

[@lowside67]

Thanks!

[@NixonInDaGhetto]

congratulations my dude! lots of prestige and accolades to go around.🥳 care to share your next goals?

[@lowside67]

Not 100% sure! The goal is to lower the track record again at Area 27 if possible, and maybe make it out to the new track in Calgary, Canada as well.

[@ChinTrack]

Can we get the speedo in American (MPH)? Congrats on the record, you definitely started a lot of interest in this platform.

[@lowside67]

Hey Paul, it's not easy to redo the graphics on the video, but you can just divide the speed by 1.61 to get the MPH. For example, in T1 I am doing 227km/h, so 227/1.61 = 141mph. Cheers!
