Cort is a very good driver. I think I may try to get some tutoring from a driver of his caliber.

He turned in a 1:37.x in quali. He had a DNF in the TT. Frankly his car was under-rubbered. But I still enjoyed beating an 800HP Scuderia ($300K car with $200K in upgrades) with pro driver!!

Just out of curiosity, was there any one thing that he advised that really changed your driving, style, approach or stuck in your head?

Cort helped alot with my mental preparation and focus(he is a very focused and driven person). I am a little bit of a nut job and I have a bad temper. Cort makes alot of small adjustments that when added up shave seconds per lap. My biggest problem was braking too early and not trusting the car...that said who really wants go off in an RS!

Thought I'd let you folks know that a year later last weekend he got a personal best (well done man!!) with his 3.9 and broke into the 34s! 1min 34.8 to be exact...
