Over the past two years I've occasionally asked you for advice which you've always given willingly, and which has proved very helpful to me.
Thank you very much.

Here's a short video snippet of me on track, and I was wondering if you have any comment about my technique -

And as a thank you, I'd like to share this short video which I put together to celebrate 25 track days without any serious incidents, accidents, or mechanical problems (ie no crash boom bang). I have no doubt that your advice along the way helped to achieve that

Rememeber, your steering and throttle input change the direction/acceleration of the car, but indirectly. They directly affect weight transfer. Smoothen your inputs, and the transitions will become smoother.

Also, you have clean lines, but are still leaving time on the table. If you're not hanging 2/3 of the tire off the track, you can still go wider, and carry more speed.
