I logged about 100 laps in a GT at Lime Rock Park today and it reminded me how much I like this track. For a sim racer who spends most of his time hotlapping and occasionally racing the AI, it's about the perfect track because it's short and challenging.

Mess up in corner one at LRP and it takes you about a minute to get around and start another lap. At most of the other tracks I run, it's more like two minutes. LRP is also perfect for some spectacular wrecks thanks to the elevation changes and little run-off area. I included a video of one below. What LRP is not as good for is racing. It's a very narrow track with very few passing zones.

LRP also got me to dig into the setup of the car. I think a lot of people spend too much time tinkering with car setups and not enough time in the seat behind the wheel learning to become a faster driver. Setups can take you so far, but only seat time will make you fast.

For LRP, I did change the gearing to improve acceleration at the expense of top-end speed, and put more grip in the car. That helped but probably not as much as just putting in some laps.
