Thanks to very little traffic and good weather conditions, I had FIVE laps quicker than my previous PB (and class record), eventually finishing in 86 Challenge Street class with a 1:52.858.

With the addition of Racecomp Engineering Tarmac 2 coilovers a few weeks ago, and the Pedal Commander a few days prior, the car became very linear and predictable, and a joy to drive (albeit not as life-or-death exhilarating as before). There's still a couple of tenths left in me if I practiced more - last time I drove the track in November, and haven't prepared for this event in the sim. The conditions were arguably better in the first session, but I haven't picked up a good pace until the second session.
