I still have work to do at this track to fully utilize the car's capabilities as shown by the traction circle graph in the lower left corner. Here is a fast reference lap from another SS 1LE driver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=485yxzdXFVM
I was about half of a second faster through turns 4 and 5 (by carrying more speed) on another lap that was slower overall.
My 3rd day at this track. So far I've only done single day events here every year or two with only 3-4 sessions. Next time I want to do a 2 day event so I have more time to get up to speed and analyze/improve.
SCCA Track Night in America, advanced group, 3rd and final session. The weather was much more comfortable this time at around 69°F instead of sunny and in the 90s on my previous 2 visits and the car was sliding around less as a result.
