You turn in too late and could really push quite a lot harder, it looks like you're "leaving a lot on the table".
I realize this is DE but still, looks like you're doing maybe 7/10ths.

Also, the shuffle on at least one corner is completely unnecessary.

I appreciate all the responses. I think I did around four track weekends with PCA. The first one with an instructor. This video is from my last one. I did one more the following spring with BMWCCA and had an instructor all weekend. Getting back with an instructor surely made a difference. I know there was plenty left on the table. The best I've seen from the rest of my videos were barely sub 3 minute laps, maybe a 2:55. That car was probably capable of 2:40 - 2:45 or so. If I can get a camera set up in my M3 (which is a far easier car to drive) I'll post a follow up once I get out again. Thanks again.

You are nice and smooth but you turn in to early. Especialy turns #1 and #2. Turn later and sharper.
You want 60% of the turn completed when you clip the apex. Learntocorner that way. Then you will be floored before the apex and all the way to track out. After the apex you should only have 40% of the corner left and a gentle angle to explode out from.

You should start unwinding the wheel and accelarating at the apex. Dance with your ''Girl"
Trust your bumm a little more...
Keep up the good work!

Ah yes... DD has the big hips. I should have noticed that. I thought maybe he was lapping you?
