It looks like you're driving cone to cone though which is a bad habit to get into because if someone hits a cone or it's not placed properly, you lose your reference. Also it keeps you from looking as far ahead as you should be. For example, at the first left hander, by the time the white lines merge on the left, you should have already picked up a reference for the apex cone area (there's something big and yellow in the woods track right) or at least the left end of the tire wall and start of the Armco. Also, instead of charging the turn-in cone, try entering a little wider to smooth out the arc. Both of those should help with the TC engagement a little too as well as the mid corner correction you had to make.


Also, keep both hands on the wheel all the time except when actively shifting. You'll have better control should something unexpected happen (tire goes out, surface debris/fluid you didn't see, animal crosses the track, etc.). Watch the first straight ~7sec and the right hander ~30sec.


In general though, I don't see anything out of the ordinary that would cause major issues, the system is just too sensitive. Try the pedal dance, approach the limits cautiously and you'll have fun safely.


Hope that helps, let me know how it works out.
Thanks for the tip, yes bad habit of not having two hands on wheel when I should
