Thanks for the SC info, guys. I agree the lower video quality is a fair trade for the convenience of this this set-up. I think my camera’s sound issue is beyond a settings adjustment though. I tried it with my external mic (Audio Technica 3550) positioned in several places in the car and also several times with no mic connected and the sound is identical in all scenarios. Here is a quick vid to show you what it sounds like (set on “Auto Mic Gain”). Maybe I need to play with the manual gain?

Just did a complete data analysis of my last track day and basically it's 3 things in order of impact:
1. Brake much less. Can brake later or softer in almost every turn... I guess I'm not as brave as I like to think - up to 1.5 sec., maybe more with line adjustment.
2. Earlier on throttle in T1 and T6, and maybe T8 (but maybe not, if I stop overbraking) - up to 0.75 sec
3. No need to lift as much for turn in into T15 - up to 0.5 sec
4. Later apex in T4 and less lift for T5 - 0.2 sec
I'm not that strong with data analysis, but I think very low 1.52 or even 1.51 is possible through bypass. It may be crazy talk, because it's so much faster than I've seen any GT3s drive, but it seems plausible. In fact, I can get to low 1:53 by pasting my best execution of every turn together (connecting on straights, to avoid creating an impossible lap).

Max, I maybe disagree with point 1.
Maybe I'm totally off base, but maybe it helps from this perspective;
Just go for throttle earlier and use more track=rolling more balanced speed through the corner, I don't think you will find time braking later/softer. You may even lose time, risk more or I wouldn't post this.
In a couple of places you could brake more by straight lining the entry like T2, but you might just as often upset the car on entry than gain time..
I can't judge apexes well enough because I don't know how the car feels.

Another clue is that I can go to full throttle very quickly without unsettling the car or engaging nannies. Usually it's an indication that the car is below the limit of traction.
Re: straight-lining turn 2 - I found it to be faster, but more difficult for me to execute consistently. It something that Nik Romano showed me, but I have yet to get fully comfortable with.

But when lower entry speed results in lower exit speed, it's usually overbraking.

But I can also see that all the traffic and less rear grips affects your driving, so kill of these rears and put good ones on.
T2, all the more reason to practice it.
Try it and report back, maybe i'm completely wrong and I don't know how these spaceships drive yet

Great to see a GT3 driven to the "Max"
