This is not my fastest lap, but I only recorded video for session 3 but have data for all 3 sessions yesterday at Track Night In America. Thompson is relatively flat, only 1.7mi long, but has some tricky changes between the asphalt and the cement oval, as well as a “bump” just as you’re WOT for the straight but still turning. It’s a little hairy. Anyway, here’s my favorite lap that I recorded yesterday because I made 2 overtakes hehe

Just want to say thanks so much to the Oppo’s who assured me I could actually do this. I was so nervous having only done 6 track days last year and still in an instructed class with PCA. But I was solidly in the middle or so in Intermediate last night when I had my tire pressures correct and tires warmed up. Had a great time, and FINALLY got on track this year.

Don’t critique me you bastards I know I’m a noob lol

Update: my second fastest lap of the day but I thought the GTI was going to give me a point by early on the straight so could have been my fastest if I didn’t have to lift.

You look good to me, and that's a pretty sweet data overlay  on the video.

Don’t be too hard on yourself, that looked fine to me. Yeah, you could push harder but your driving is smooth and you’re not over braking, so you’ve got a solid base to work up speed from.
