Default Track day at buttonwillow 3/4
Sharing a video of my fastest lap of the day with SpeedVentures, which happened to be the last one for my last session.

Looks like fun. I'm concerned about some of your downshifts being past redline😳

Rightfully so! I didn't realize how far I was pushing it until I watched the video. The car is running fine and I'll be changing the oil soon.

It's attached to a suction cup mount on the back of my seat.

Your line is pretty good. Over braking in several corners. You know what they say, more gas less brake
Also, you should only be in 3-4 and 2nd in the buttonhook. Don't grab 2nd on last turn. Practice heel toe you're upsetting the car a bit.
Smooth is fast!

Thanks! Car is on Ohlins R+T (6 clicks front 4 clicks rear) and AD08R. Only power adder is an IPD plenum. Gundo hack is providing the soundtrack

The R+T and AD08R is a terrific combo!
