Nice smooth work Paolo!
The black F car was holding you up, of course. Once you got stuck behind him, notice how the cars ahead start pulling a gap on you two. There appeared to be a couple of places where you were potentially quicker and could have set up a pass, but that would have required leaving space to make a run into the passing move. Its all about seat time, and assessing where the opportunities lie.

And yes in its prime time (9-10 yrs.) and with a much better driver, she was very competitive.
Nowdays, with me at the helm, the car in need of a new motor and with the
F class getting filled with much more modern cars such as the Boxster S, there is only so much she can do...... except......
me striving to become a much better driver than the rest of the field......
.......and that will be my lifelong dream........
See you at NJMP......

Paolo,
I just had a minute to watch your vid.
Two things for next time:
-point your camera down a bit, less headliner and we'd have seen your hands
-instead of following so closely to a car that's not in your class, consider putting that guy AWAY.
Great go, on your second time out!
Now I want you to start studying passing techniques, there are no more point bys.
