What I was doing wrong....the way the PCA instructors taught me was to brake as late as possible everywhere. Chris said I had great late braking skills and that will come in handy for passing cars in the brake zone, but not the fastest way around the track, plus it is much harder on the car. I was almost threshold braking every corner....thus...unsettling the car and over slowing the car in the corner because it was unbalanced. The car was still sliding some and I had to make corrections but it was slower than the way Chris Hall showed me. I really learned a lot and the day I spent with him, going over data and watching him for some laps. His coaching was the best mod. My car is stock except for GT3 lower control arms up front and r-comp tires. I plan on more coaching to further my driving skills from Chris and hire some other coaches and learn from them too.
