My fastest session of the weekend in group 4. I let a Seal Grey Cayman S by 5 minutes in, then spent the next 13 minutes going ballistic trying to catch back up only to get a break with some slow traffic entering pit lane. The real battle starts at the 14 minute mark!

My last session of the weekend. Groups 3 and 4 combined after an oil spill from turn 15 through 5B, hence all the oildry kicking up dust and my speed and line through that sector being a little off.

Despite not having an instructor all weekend and the subsequent challenges learning the track in the wet on Saturday, these Sunday sessions on a dry track were very rewarding. After reviewing the wet footage it's not even worth uploading and sharing. I was all over the place and there's just not much to see besides a very frustrated driver and a TCS light going off every corner.

These two dry sessions were really fun and after reviewing those I think I can definitely take more speed through turns 1, 5, 9 and 10, but I was remembering the lessons learned from the day before in the wet and just never really explored the grip limit there thinking I'd better be safe than sorry since I had all the aids turned off.




What an amazing facility!

Can't wait to come back ASAP next year!
