This is my first time to the 86 Drive Challenge event : http://86drivechallenge.com/. It takes your best lap of the day (5 sessions in total) and rank the drivers based on it (a time trial format). I was running in stock class, which allows the minimum mods to the car (basically stock except some extra front camber and the same specified tires that everybody uses)
Session 1 is critical for this kind of time trial event because the weather is the coolest for the fastest lap of the day. However, I didn't put together a good lap in session 1 due to my own mistakes.
The weather got hotter later on and lap time increased for everyone. I got traffic all the time in session 2 and did my best lap of the day in session 3 (the 1st lap of the session)
