 Hello everybody and welcome back here to the channel. We're staring at the starting gate for the next round of ESTA we're going to Fuji so we're gonna be taking the next level racing Mazda racing energy innovations e36 comm car out for some shakedown laps here before qualifying the end of this week so make sure you follow me on all social media all the switch found in the description box below let's get to it so we are on the maza r5 for this round I've actually been getting quite comfortable with this wheel and how small it is so we're sticking with it because I've been super comfortable with it so we're gonna go take a look at the track first off we're gonna do our little track walk we have our very very long entry and then we have a initiation that's a little bit bumpy and then we do have a inner clip right there to an outer little touch and go into a nice long left-handed sweeper to a wall which if you miss it and you clip that wall that's going to be very deadly to another inner clip and then we got to stretch this out almost all the way out to here not trying to hit the rumbles as possible to another outer zone and then a hard uphill bumpy transition to a inner clip and a final touch and go so this track is a little bit tricky we're going to run it a couple times the first person then switch to the roof cam because for me I like to personally start running the tracks in first in third person because I get a sense of where my car is and I start getting a little muscle memory in place and then I start to get fully dialed in so we're gonna start singing second gear I believe this could be a fist gear track that is a really bumpy entry okay we're gonna come out touch and go transition over kind of monitor yep that wall is gonna be very deadly if you kid it we kind of nicked it but we didn't go fully into it stretching out all the way to those rumbles into the outer zone kind of hooking it back into this inner zone gotta stay in power there and then there so overall a bit of a challenging track I feel with the bombs going in the initiation and stuff like that it's a little bit more challenging we're gonna try going fourth gear and then shifting into fifth before we get into that outer wall section we do have a pretty good base tune on this car from other rounds so we may not do too much fine tuning so we're gonna start in first we're gonna do a fourth gear entry and kind of pop it into fifth oh yeah that wall is gonna be pretty uh pretty deadly if you smack into that so we're gonna go one more time so we are on the actual ESD public service so you know ground and temperatures and everything are correct I did like the fifth gear entry so we're just gonna go full send on fifth and uh and one more time in third person and we're gonna switch into my roof cam and stuff like that so second gear start so not too shabby definitely got to clean up a little bit we're using left foot braking I'm hoping not too much to the point where it's going to doc us massive lots of points because I'm not using it to slow down I'm kind of using it really just to keep my line which is something that I guess would be up to judges discretion on that one but we're trying to minimize if you notice we're only using handbrake on initiation and that's it we're not using handbrake any other time so we're definitely trying to utilize less handbrake and more just gentle taps to left foot brake just to kind of keep our angle and line and stuff like that so let's see what we can do in our roof cam have a different line there we may have came out of that that zone a little bit early there's a little bit wide there but not too shabby so we're gonna run one more run like that and then we're gonna go see if we can see replays the last two runs so definitely feel a little bit more confident in this track than other ones definitely like I said miss the last round due to um I lost my family but we're back behind the rig we're gunning for this we can try and qualify in for this round in 432 battles we've got to make sure that jitters don't get to us don't think we're allowed to touch rumbles there so we're gonna have to alter that slightly well that's a little bit wide and we came out of that zone really early kind of had to pump that handbrake to get the car to go where we wanted it to on that run so let's take a look at the replay of those runs oh in order to take a replay we're gonna have to forgot we're on an online session so we're gonna run one more time in a third just to kind of see where we're at and then we'll go take a look at those two first roof cam runs so this track is definitely challenging with the bumps on entry uh line heard a lot of people were using the bumps as like their initiation point so we're gonna try and just flick entry this as much possible without a handbrake and see what happens we'll send it I mean it is totally possible but I was on the right line that's totally possible to do but I feel like I would not be able to utilize that correctly so we're definitely going to just sustain what we've been already doing just a quick ebrake flick this is kind of a full bore track like pedal to the metal very minimal throttle you know just full commitment on throttle using brakes to gently tap it so let's go take a look at those replays and we'll be right back all right so we're gonna take a look at these two runs to kind of digress these a little bit in of course the uh judging cameras and cinematic cameras so we'll see kind of where we're at so initiation I'm not sure if we need to stay off the rumbles but that was actually quite decent pretty decent on that touch and go oof that was that uh that was that wall hit all right so let's take a look at this one because that wall hit was kind of uh kind of a hurt so I'm not sure I need to not initiate on the rumbles I feel I feel like that's going to be a problem just touch rumbles there which we need to address pretty deep in that zone and pretty decent just clicking the rumble there and nice and deep we did come out of that zone a little bit early earlier than I wanted to but we did able to bring that up fully into the final zone so overall that was not too terrible of a run the car is actually feeling quite great um I thought we were gonna have a little more tuning to do but we do have a slight tuning to do but not as much I believe we might tweak the gear ratio a little bit maybe not to run fifth gear maybe you run it in fourth um but fifth gear is not too bad starting in second because it's about the same amount of um you know gear change and things like that so see this I believe this was the other run we were in roof can't yeah it was because I quickly shift in the second so we take a look at this final run here initiating on the rumbles I need to double check on that I think we need to initiate off the rumbles pretty decent in that touch and go in that first zone there's that way hard about the same line through that zone and then this we kind of actually didn't straighten out too bad there's not much wavering in my wheels kind of very similar line overall not too bad we could be doing a lot worse for the first testing on this track so make sure you guys follow me on all social media all that's found in the description box below hopefully we can get into top 32 qualifying is this Friday so as always I think you guys are coming back and watching I'm EvilRabbit I'll see you guys on the track
