Got it, so track position is good there, I should just have less lock dialed in.

Sticker was from some drift events, lots of laughs but aparently you can't see out on the passenger's side! (I don't even see it).

Track position is not the issue there IMO. That line will work (as may others) but it requires the early beginning to the "release" specifically because you are so tight in. However, I encourage you to try different lines as well. And get a rearview mirror!

I think part of the reason that you were overbraking and/or not getting on throttle soon enough, and pinching mid-corner and exits is that you weren't looking far enough ahead (or fully conceptualizing the turn for some of the blind corners). Even if you were having understeer issues that was preventing you from having a higher mid-corner speed, you still could have released the wheel much earlier for several corners (as Dave stated). I think it was likely a vision issue. Overall though, that's a pretty decent time for your weight/hp.

I'm gonna disagree with you on this one. In a caged 350z you literally cannot see ANYTHING out the back with the center mirror. I've gotten really used to driving it like that. Check out this video, I check my mirrors 10+ times between the front straight, esses, and back straight. Also shows Niagara's late passing format really well.
