Daily drivers obviously break a lot earlier thus loosing speed around corners and thus have to use more throttle out of the turn to catch up. Interesting indeed.
Its was super fun, and following the instructors and listening to their comments over the radio was extremely interesting. Limit braking was the one thing that I don't think really transferred to the track. During the six laps in my own Z, I always felt like I could go much deeper, especially Turn 1 which is a large uphill approach. It was interesting that I felt that way despite braking to a slower speed than necessary on most turns and not taking them at the highest possible speed (especially Turn 1). I know that part of this was I had a lot more faith in my braking ability after replacing my front rotors and pads and brake fluid last Tuesday.
