Lap Times: 1:54:68 (quickest lap of the day; new PB for me in the M2); most of the day was running in 1:54 - 1:58 range. Afternoon got hotter and tires felt greasier and less grippy
Notes:
(1) Started to try an early turn-in for T11 and T12, and get on the apex curbing - this was allowing me to get onto the throttle a bit more earlier and a bit deeper into the pedal.
(2) Trying to mostly hug the right side of the track going down T13 and around T14, then turn about a carwidth or two off from the left at the bottom without additional braking (since I am slow enough) to get around T15.
(3) The track surface in the braking zone for T1 seemed uneven. It helped to brake a touch earlier and have a slightly longer brake zone.
(4) Felt like a bit of tire rub in the compression zone of T7.
