Thank you, glad I found some as well. Still plenty more, but at least I know I have room for improvement!

the theory is you shouldn't have been as fast in this heat as you were in the "cool" march event... but you were faster. keep up the good work man!
Thank you, I can agree, but I didn't have ABS in March and I had stickier tires, but overall improvement is improvement!
Here is a peek at data from the two different laps. Red is Hyperfest and blue is in March. As you can see it's pretty obvious ABS and having brake pads that don't fucking lock up (whether that's the grippier tires or better pads or both) helped significantly with braking later. Increase of 2mph in T1, increase of 3mph in T4/T5, increase of 3mph uphill esses, increase in 2mph for T14 and increase of 2mph for hogpen. Not bad at all. Back straight and front straight speeds have reduced. Heat + stickier tires I assume came into play there at higher speeds. I knew I was losing obvious time in South Bend to back straight braking zone. The data shows a half second alone there. I think I need another event to rewire my brain after locking up in March through oak tree and only being like a car length away from the wall I think never subconsciously got that out of my brain. T3 I can lose some obvious time as well. Overall though, red curve is much better. I drove better even while learning on new equipment!
At last, here are the two videos 1st is fast lap and the 2nd is some highlights. The 1st video isn't as good quality as the 2nd as I was learning the settings on rendering from the new GoPro. I will be turning off the video stabilization that makes it look like it's on a gimbal as well.
