Default Feedback from Road Atlanta

Ok folks... I'm fairly new to the world of DE's. I've only had this GT3 for about 9 months.

Here is a video from my most recent trip to Road Atlanta. I'm wondering if anyone would be so kind as to give me some feedback? I'm finding the traqmate data opens up a whole new world of feedback.

Anything that stands out to folks from the video? The car is bone stock, with a track alignment and nitto NT-01s

Trey - pretty good line. A bit less brake in turn 1 and I'd be more aggressive with curb in turn 3. Stay in the throttle more in turn 4 - you have a curb in case car runs wide. I'd track out more in turn 5 on the curb - it'll allow you to carry a lot more speed. You're braking very early for Turn 10, I'd wait. And a bit more throttle going through 12.

Just my 02 cents

Trey - still owe you RA data - I haven't forgotten.

Trey, line looks good. I'll echo what Alex said (great input) with a few more notes. Don't go immediately to the left side of the track between 5 and 6. The car will naturally head toward the left with a straight wheel. You'll lose time getting left so quickly. Also, you can carry so much more speed through 6. It is very deceiving but there is on-camber help on the inside if you hit the apex properly.
