2016 86 Cup Round 3 @ Buttonwillow Raceway Park - 2:07.152 fast lap

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lr3901PZCQA"]2:07.152 - Buttonwillow Raceway Park - 9 April 2016 - YouTube[/ame]

Left about ~2 seconds out on the track by my estimation... the first session of the day was very sketchy and rattled my nerves.

All in all I'm happy with this time if I never touch the track again.

RaceRender 3, data imported from AiM Solo DL and GoPro Hero 4 footage.

Great job.

One tip for you and anyone viewing... It does look like you should be a couple notches closer to the steering wheel. Your arm appears to be near straight when you're turning and when that happens you no longer have strength or precision from a physical standpoint. Example: Is it easier to lift a 45 lb plate close to your body or with your arms extended?

It looks like it, but that's only when my arm is extended while turning past 90 degrees.

I have no issues with fatigue, strength, and movement with my seating position. I've tried moving the wheel closer but it's actually made my driving worse.

I think if I had a closer ratio steering rack or bucket seat, I'd benefit from a closer arm position.
