Nice driving! A couple things that stood out to me T1: You can carry more speed here, I think the car would've maybe felt more settled in 5th through 1? T2: Have you tried taking the corner in 4th instead of third? It seems like you're losing speed on exit because you're moving your hand over to the shifter to grab 4th since the car is about to hit the limiter in 3rd. At 0:25, you still have a ton of track on your right you can use. Try rolling on the throttle in 4th and using the full width of the track next time T4 : In your upshift here, I think you might be losing some speed in the uphill section into the bypass. I think the S2000 tops out at 78mph in 3rd on an AP2. I would try leaving the car in 3rd, and if you need to shift, do it on the entry to bypass since the car will then be less touchy on throttle on exit as the RPM will be lower. If you see at 0:39 there's about a car length gap on your right that you can use to push harder out of the corner Bypass: You can send it a lot harder over bypass with your aero + tire combination T6: I think you can avoid the downshift here, I know you want to keep the car in the powerband, but I think the downshift followed by immediate upshift is slowing the car down a bit. I should probably watch more s2000 videos to see if others are doing the same. T8: Great work here, but DAMN you gained a ton of ground on me there :P I need aero T9: I think you got off the clutch on your downshift too deep into the corner, that's why the car got a bit unsettled as you were going up the hill. T10: Similar to T9, at 1:25 I don't think you would've need that much counter steer, but it was induced by letting off the clutch into the corner. Overall, a VERY good lap. I think shifting less + getting off downshifts earlier will save you lots of time. A bit faster through T1, Bypass, and T9 and I see a high 58 in sights!
