Nice driving overall. Very smooth and consistent.

Here's a couple of notes that might pick you up some time here.

- Don't be afraid to aggressively use the curbs at T1, T4, and T7. It shortens the line and they aren't that high.

- If you early apex T1 you can carry more speed and you will use more of the track out. Do it in small increments until you get a feel for it. The apex cone is placed very conservatively here.

- There are 2 fast lines through the 2,3,4 combination. You can take 2 wide to give yourself a better tight arc for 3 which will set you up for 4, or you can apex 2 carrying in more speed and then braking for 3 before turn in.

- When you come over the crest at 5 straighten the wheel and give it some gas, drive straight towards the track out, start turning again once the suspension settles.

- I saw you using the high line at T9 which is good, this is the fastest line for exit speed onto the straight. Work your way down to the apex cone on the inside and make sure you nail it but not too early. Should be at WOT before you hit the apex. You used all the track out here which is good. No need to tight apex T10, stay off a car width to avoid the bump.

I appreciate the feedback- makes sense- plan on getting back in Oct - they may do Lightning Sat & Thunderbolt Sunday- so I'll get another shot to refine the line and also try out Thunderbolt (but most guys I talked to this past weekend seemed to like Lightning better)

Yes- car #370 -

Here's a nice vid 7AT rolling thru the gears out of pits-red line shift each time- you can hear me stomp the gas but VDC engaged (I need to drive it to work on Monday so VDC something to keep the stupid error under control) tires hot and stick no hesitation off the line

I'd love to hit the track once, but I'd have to do it on a budget.
