Default 3 minutes in an R, on a track

Wasn't sure about posting this, as it's not the best lap, but it's the only one I've got! My go pro charging skills are apparently limited, so only got first few mins on track. You'll at least get the idea...

Awesome, love that you took it out on the track. Did it feel unstable at high speeds?

Looking good!
It's so weird to see the shifting in reverse order...although since I'm a lefty I wonder if I'd miss shift less in races if I just simply sat right seat!

That's awesome seeing you using it on the track. Did it handle better or worse than you thought?

Thanks all. The way I look at it, is that I paid list price for it, and am not going to sell it, so seems rude not to use it properly!

i did run it in...or at least I did 1000 warmed-up miles at 'non-constant' loads...

​​​​​1700 miles in first 10 days
