Not bad at all. Brakes will help a bit for sure, I'm not even sure how you got that much out of them, I guess I'm just evil on brakes. Then again Sebring Full is pretty brake friendly.

Tires will make a huge difference, those OEM tires blow.

First thing I noticed was how far away from the wall in Turn 1 you were, but I didn't check later in the session to see if that was common. Maybe today I'll watch it if I have enough time at work :)
My best session, where I got much more aggressive, isn't on video, GoPro crapped out :( I got closer and closer to turn 1 wall as time went on. I felt like I was on it by end of session 4 but I'm sure there was enough space for a Kenworth in actuality

There's a ton of speed in 17 as well, but that will come with time.


Dave, just shoot the registrar an email asking me to be your instructor. That will make it easy for me as well. lol

Actually I told Amy to NOT put me with you. I'm not good at listening to people I know :) Although I might have her change that, should have the AP brake setup on the car by then so you can see how it does :thumbup:

I got fairly ballsy in 17 in session 4. Figured out the second of the double apex really well I felt, doing alright on the first one. Had to back out one lap when I cam in with enough speed that I got way to close to passing an semi-experienced guy in '12 GT with RS3s and suspension between 17 and 17a, entering 17a. Very quick, tidy line and I found my front end 2 car widths to the inside of him, front bumper inline with his rear so I slowed it down a bit

Oh I normally listen fine. I don't know why I just get more defensive with people I know. Character flaw. :shrug: I welcome the chance to improve actually, it'll help with racing at the end of the day. :thumbup:
