I still have much to learn so am not looking for feedback, on this tread, but hopefully this will allow you to learn something for free

Wow, that was impressive. Turn 3 and turn 10, no braking, none what so ever. I really need to grow a pair, or get some better tires like the Hankook Z's.

por944s2 was the class record holder in SP3 a few years back. He is being quite modest. Don't go out and try that on your own without a little more experience !!! It was fun to watch though.

I didn't look at the vid, but if you were a few seconds faster than Paul's 1:33's (and a low of 1:29!) you would be darn close to the SP3 record of 1:30.3, no? He's already faster than my best time in a D Stock car of 1:33.x...

I'm saving that for the race in August!

Paul nice video! You have had great input in this thread, time to get to work!

If you are going to the Tbolt event next week, stop on by and say hello!

This is the car with the SP3 record. Notice anything odd?

01:30.614 was my best from last yrs club race, but it did not make it to rennpoints, for some reason.

Looking forward to Tbolt CR, and I need to find another .5

I can't reconcile 1:29.xx on Bridgestone streets with 1:33.xx on Hankook Z's (Hoosiers equivalents). Something here is way off.

Considering the Stock I class (where an 09 Boxster S would sit) record is 126.163 and done on Hoosiers a 129.xx on street tires is pretty damn quick!

1:29.xx on street tires in any car is pretty damn quick. This doesn't jibe with the same car & driver doing 1:33.xx on smth similar to Hoosiers.

Stock G record is 29.766 so not convinced the data makes sense...

Thanks for all the feedback guys!! I did end up going with the professional coach (Scott Leder) for 2 days and it was amazing. To everyone's feedback we did dial it back a bit and worked on the basics. Smooth inputs, No PSM input from the car, not upsetting the platform, eyes in the right place up and ahead, constant feedback and consistency. The speed will come but it resulted in consistent 1:33's (within .1 to .01 seconds per lap without traffic.)
This is a quick excerpt but the difference to my last vid is easily visible after some time with Scott. Vision is greatly improved, throttle and brake inputs are much softer, lines are much better and I am much more consistent.

BTW, egg on my face and need to fess up but it turns out the 1:29.83 was not accurate, you guys were right... When I looked at the distance traveled going through my data it only covered .3 miles so I am not sure if it just timed me driving around the paddock or something It was one of those individual laps, not in my sequence So you guys who doubted it were right to do so lol. My quickest actual GPS lap in the AiM when we analyzed my lap times together was a 1:32.1... Best time yesterday was a 1:33:1 but as you guys said and were correct, the times are far less important than getting the basics right...
