BTW - packing up one day early got me enough goodwill for another whole track weekend with my better half!

Below is a direct run comparison on a wet race track. Conditions were constant during the day. misting rain and overcast. No puddles, just continuous wet surface.
Red trace speed, Yellow Long Gs, dk purple Lat Gs for LFB practice.
Violet-speed, lt grn long G, lt purple lat G using traditional style driving lat apex with throttle application at the apex (or close to).
If you look at the delta time differential on the long Gs you will see a much quicker transition from Gas to brake and a surprising lack of ABS activation. If you look at the grip in LatGs you will seee much higher loading available through the entire corner. Higher mid-corner speeds and the bonus was better exit from instant throttle on application. Frank is still learning this, but I thought he earned an A+ on adapting.
