The next day after I drove my last PB at Sonoma, I beat it again. And multiple times! AND WITH A PASSENGER! This is the best lap of them all, dropping below a 2:01 lap time. The second digit is in the 0's, and winning's winning. I'll take it. This was at the last session in the afternoon, the sun was already starting to set, and I was very tired. Somehow, the more relaxed you are when driving, the better you actually perform. Weird how that works.

Anyway I'm now expecting a sub 2 minute lap time next time I come here.

Great day with OnGrid, as always.
