I would personally reccomend focusing on carrying more speed into and through the corners in the second half of the track ( From the Bowl to the Final corner ) and being a bit more tight on the apexes. Youre about a half car width or more from where you really want to put the car.

Additionally it seems like youre a little rough on the steering, try predicting more where you want to put the car and steer sooner to smooth it out.

Sow PB - 1.24.2

you are completely right. Thats what i did this time,also I started double apexing the bowl instead of sling shotting it like you see in this vid went from a 1:32 to 1:27. Now I have to figure out my braking.

hey guys, just ran it again. this video is a 1:26 but i was running 1.24's, just none i caughton video, i know its suspicous lol. I have so much time to save in the second chicane after the bowl and in the bowl itself. instead of keeping it in 4th i can go to 3rd right at my breaking zone into the bowl and get a couple more seconds there

Yep, you are bogging down because you should be in a lower gear. You want to keep those revs high. Your inputs are nice and smooth. You have definitely improved. Nice work.

Thanks buddy I appreciate it, I’ll make you proud with the next video haha. Watching 2 years of f1 really helped me with smooth inputs

Justin, what camera did you shoot the video with? Did you use like a mic cover? I like the both video and audio quality. Seems like some of the wind noise/impacts were dampened, which was great.
