The Cart Before the Horse: Spec 3 Build
1. Get data, it will help. Buy that AIM already.

2. Commitment, your turn in is slow and it is causing you to miss your entry. You should be "turning in" before what the grip suggests. That is, when you turn in, the car will understeer just a tad off what you are doing. If you are turning in at what you think you should be turning in; you are late and will miss the apex. If you turn in before you think you need to and COMMIT, the car will slightly 4-wheel drift or understeer and you will be hitting apex right on point. I watched a couple laps and it was pretty consistent with almost every corner. There is a couple seconds from that alone.

3. Your exit of 5-6-7 is fantastic, but you are mid-track at 8 (what kaan said) and pinching off one of the most important corners on track. Get back more left for preparation of 9, even if it means you have to compromise 8 (you shouldn't, the way the car was reacting it had a lot left in it on 8 to go tighter).

4. Turn 1 you are trying to turn in and brake at the same time and it is cooking those fronts. Get 90% of your braking done, then trail off brake while turning in. You are currently at full braking and trying to turn in which is why it doesn't turn in with authority.

5. Keep your eyes up. You will battle this your entire road racing career. It will help with T3 and T10 in your video especially.


Those are 5 actions you can work on, any more and you will overwhelm yourself. For HPDE, you are doing well; don't focus on the lap times too much compared to your racing brethren; you WILL pick up 2-3 seconds alone when you go racing from using people as rabbits. Focus on learning "grip" vs the perfect line. #2 and #4 suggestions are crutches you learned from driving a car with a lot of aides in HPDE 1/2 that you will 100% need to break by the time you go racing.
