I took photos of the results screens at 2:30pm on Monday and you were down to 1:20.91 at that stage. Maybe improved after that too? That's still a massive improvement on your previous PB.

I know that I got down to 20.something but couldn't remember exactly what. Results will tell all soon enough.

Well done Joe. Three seconds off in one track day is an awesome improvement.

Fantastic effort Joe. Finding three seconds today was a great effort. Where do you think you found the seconds?

Biggest improvement was over the top. I just had so much more confidence through there by the end of the day and I also had a chance to chat to quite a few people as to how I should be attempting it. Overall I'm now pretty happy with turns 3-6. Whilst following one of the Red NA6's in the first session I also found out that you didn't have to brake for turn 9.
Biggest areas that still need improving are certainly turns 2, 8 and 10. Turn 2 was at least consistent by the end of the day, but I think I'm still coming way to far right. Turns 8 and 10 were all over the shop. Wouldn't have taken the same line twice all day.

Ah yes, fast times are definitely a matter of having confidence to let the car move around a bit. Don't lift or brake for turns 6, 7 or 9 - you can go flat knacker through all of those. Next step will be to find quicker ways through 2, 8 and 10. Those are the big braking corners and finding the right compromise between braking point, turn-in point, and throttle out is very tricky. On turn 2 with street tyres, I find that I can see up to 95 to 100km/hr on the speedo when I reach the exit ripple strip - probably more although I haven't figured out how to do that yet. Anything less than 95km/hr for turn 2 and you know that you're not quite at the limit yet. Considering your rate of improvement, I'm sure you'll be knocking more off your PB at your next outing.
