Pete..
Nice- but you're "driving" .. not "racing",, or even " time trial qualifying",,,
In all those turns, you hit just 1, single apex .. and you didn't track-out, even once..
You're never flat-out on the throttle, and you never did a single threshold brake application.
if you work on these points, you will shave off many multiple seconds off your lap time.. This is all assuming you WANT to get faster.. if not, just disregard..
Another thing- your hands on the steering wheel.. try to keep them at 10 and 2; cleaner and faster...
Best- Kurt

Jeez dude, it was my first track day ever. Sorry I wasn't an expert my first time out :stunned:
 
All that matters Pete, is that you enjoyed the day!
I cant wait until my car is ready to cut some laps.
Thanks for posting.
Cheers, Gus.
 
Jeez dude ? ha..
A fast car is a terrible thing to waste Pete... but your apology is accepted... :)
Now get out there and shred some tires...

Settle down guys....

I've spent more than half my life driving in competition in one venue or another. A brand new car does not get flogged hard its first time out - ever...
Pete, Glad that you had a good time out there. Now's the time to get her up in the air, all the wheels off and go over every nut and bolt in the chassis and suspension. A good bleed on the brakes is also a good idea..

Thanks Randy, good advice. I did go over the car when I got home. No loose suspension bolts, but several of my axle bolts had backed out. Changed the oil too.
