LOL ... Ok. I'll generalize what I observed, although I don't know what session that was.

In general ...
* Your lines are good.
* You were pretty smooth, although I can't see the steering wheel in the video.
* You're using 97% of the track
* Your braking was as good as could be done with the brakes not balanced. I occasionally heard brake hop.

In the first lap ... You were turning into the corner too early starting with 6 ... up through 10. In the 2nd & 3rd lap you started turning in later (better) in some but not all of 6-10. After that, your turn-in points were too early in 6-10.

You're going to hate this ... but Charley's lines through 6-10 are perfect. He is keeping the car out wider on entry ... turning later & harder ... apexing later ... and coming off straighter on the exits. That is what you need to do in 6-10:
* Stay out to the outside edge of the track longer
* Turn in later & harder
* Apex later
* Lessen the amount of turning needed on exits (straighten out the exits)

Also, you need to turn into turn 1 a bit later & apex a bit later.

Currently, the brakes are not allowing to go deep without locking up. I think when the brakes allow you to brake later ... all of this will be easier to accomplish.

Your entry into 14 is awesome. You need to use more track between 14-15 and get out wider ... all the way wide ... before going into 15 ... to set up more speed coming onto the straight.

Lastly, how you're getting through the Crow's Nest is inspiring. This is turn 5 for those of you not familiar with the track. This is the toughest corner for most drivers. As I joked earlier, Cheeseball, Mike & I were watching most drivers "park" their cars into that corner. So, don't change a thing ... as most these guys need to learn from you how to "Drive-Thru" that corner.
