WOW! That was super-cool. I personally have absolutely no desire to do that, but it sure looks like fun. Was it Porsche day at the track, or is that the car of choice for tracking where you are?

Great video Jannis, thanks for sharing!
And I understand now why it was 260 MB, it was big and long. Also nice to see Birch trees around the track, you don't see those here.
Your driving was pretty good but here are couple of things to improve:
"Shuffle" steering.
Some driver's prefer that but IMO that really is not the way to do it when you start getting near the limits. Have you tried keeping your hands just at 11-2 position instead of "shuffling"? It will feel weird at the beginning but once you get used to it, it's much better. There was maybe one corner that was little tight for not to "shuffle" but even that could've been done without.
Shifting.
Especially downshifting but really upshifting too. It sounds and looks as you're not "heel and toeing", is that correct? Downshifts will be much smoother when you "heel and toe" and being smooth is what you need. Also, on upshifts it sounds like you're going back on gas just a tad too early and it makes it little "jerky". And that easily results in a bad shift too (which happened few times). This is not as big of a deal as downshifting but still something to improve.

Good to hear, let's see how that heel & toe goes at Knutstorp!
BTW, it was interesting to see Mantorp from "inside". I've driven by few times but never been at the track itself.

Flying Finn has a good point on the shuffle steering...I had to learn the hard way as when you shuffle, you can only unwind about halfway when you need to counter steer. If your hands are "crossed over" by leaving them at 9 and 3 then you have that much more to counter steer with. I had trouble catching it when I was shuffling but took the PCA instructors strong advice to keep my hands crossed up and it gives you more ability to unwind the wheel.
Hard to describe but it works!
Cheers!
