Thanks for sharing! I learned a lot. I was just out at barber for my first time.

Hi there! There is a misconception that transferring weight to the outside tires improves overall cornering performance. It doesn’t. The reason is the load sensitivity of the tires, which is the same principle that allows for balance changes to the car when adjusting roll stiffness distribution. A car with less weight transfer always produce more cornering force, all else equal.

Such a fun track to drive! I live near the track and have driven it a couple of times on Track Days - I always wondered how fast a professional driver with the right car do it - pretty impressive.

Nice lap, hadn’t heard of new pavement.

Nice video

Great tutorial! Jim is a great person and awesome driver! I know him personally as I try to do Serbring with Chin once a month. Thanks for all you do for the hobby Jim! - Darin Ayers

Loved this video -- have been thinking of trying Barber (coming from Atlanta area). LOVE the clean lap presented at the latter half of this video too.

do you have a good reference for how to remove/replace the rubber boots on the rear suspension links?

Still the BEST video to learn Barber 👍

good shit

very nice. fast through 10. Are you in spec miata?

This is a great tool. Very much appreciate the time and effort and fun creating this great video.

Nice. Don't hit the stop record or the brakes!!

Thank you! Great tips! Love this track. My best is 232.05 in my 22 3.0 Supra

Nice n tight!

1:37 that looks like a really fun turn

7 minute lap at Sebring??

Thank you for this. Im just doing a wheel bearing replacement, and am headed to harbor frieght now for the press. =)

6:51 I saw it happen exactly like that several years ago. I was in my C5 coming up on a Mini in the wet. Just as I crested the hill I saw him snap back to my left. He slid backwards into the tires at a pretty good clip. They red-flagged the session. I saw the car in the paddock afterwards and the rear end was a mess. It definitely wasn't going to buff out.

Thank you for this video. I've been looking for a reference video to replace the rear hub bearing on an RX-8. 😅

"Call your mom"....very cute. Great instruction; thanks for posting this. ~13

I don't think I'll ever see this track in person, but as someone who had difficulties in Forza I really appreciate this video. Although it's the inside loop part that drives me really mad.

super insightful. chin rules !

Fuck this track is so hard

I just imagine what it mustve been live to fly down those roads at max attack and travel across dirt at top gear and have to brake for a damn railroad crossing. Incredible stuff and im glad to see we can still enjoy the same roads the legends raced on

information information "corner worker" information information information "corner worker" hahah great vid!

Thank you. Excellent guide.

thnx professor Apex!

No anti seize or silicone anywhere?

Look NC doing....thank,s watching 6/2023 germany ......

Looks great! It looks like you're leaving some time in the esses, and not far enough left before entering rollercoaster. I'm jealous of those vMin speeds though elsewhere!

I got weed

Great video, thank you for the work you put into this. I wish there was something like this for motorcycles but this'll have to do! xD

Great guide! Thank you

Nothing wrong with those laps. My instructor told me to use 2nd in turn 7, but never really felt comfortable with that. Next time I'll go back to 3.

Thank you for this video. This alleviated some anxiety as I’m preparing for a nasa weekend at wgi

Can you get through turn 14 w/o lifting in this car?

that sand trap for turn 1 is so ridiculous. They need to make it bigger. I've seen several people miss turn 1 and go to the right of the sand trap hitting the wall.

That was a fun session!

Nice lap, 43 is moving! Thats me in the silver IS at the end, and I apologize if I held you up in T11 or the chicane as its clear I am over slowing through 10-11

Great stuff. Thank you! What an excellent course in a beautiful setting.

Good stuff Thanks. Racing first time at this track in March. Looks fun

Hello Professor, I am wondering where I can find these aluminum pieces? I need them really soon, my transmission is taking itself out at the moment.

tank you for this

Watkins Glen, Elkhart Lake, Laguna Seca, Sears Point ... America has some of the most fun road tracks out there

The late great Jim Pace did an excellent lap guide

this track just showed up in gran turismo. thanks for the excellent guide!

very awesome guide !

Can you share a part number for the ARP studs? I just want to make sure I’m going to buy the correct ones since they don’t make ones directly for the RX-8 hubs.

I'm totally going to order all parts (salvage axles, knuckles, new boots/clamps, tools) over the winter here in NY and do this install during March or April when it starts to warm up in the garage and I'm feeling the itch! I want to run a stickier tire on a second set of wheels next year but this talk of hub detonation scares me (especially when I already put RX-8 hubs in the front). Thanks a ton for this! I'm a visual learner vs. reading so this was perfect for me.
