I love this car. Feeling very confident that this was a great choice for a lapping car.

Need to get a lap timer of some sorts for next year. Stock up on oils, tires, brakes etc over the winter months.

One thing is for certain. After yesterday, I'm absolutely hooked. This is definitely going to be an expensive hobby
A great tool for lapping (and even video-making) is your smartphone. Pair it with the Harry's Laptimer app, a high-quality mount (like a RAM mount or similar) and a high-frequency GPS antenna and you'll get all the front-facing video, laptime, split time, section, and speed data you want.
