Good driving! Looks like you could track out a little more in some places, but you keep the car under total control, and your inputs look buttery smooth! I was in this group in the “130i”

Thanks! I was just watching your videos the other day haha. Yeah, I'm definitely leaving some room on a couple turns. Turns 3 and 10 I've been nailing almost every time, and in the final session I was getting a bit better on consistently using the whole track for turn 9. This was only my second weekend out and I started the weekend in HPDE 1. My instructor had the guy in the new black corvette who was apparently really struggling and switched him down to HPDE 1 and moved me up to 2. I was only in the group for sessions 2-4 on day 2. I'll be back for June with a white 330ci. I'll keep an eye out for you! I didn't see you on track as it looks like we are running almost identical times, and I usually like to pit in so I get open track space to work with. I think I might have seen your car on the paddock, unless it was another 1 series parked by turn 10.

Cool. Looks like you held a pretty good line, ur brakes squeak a lil bit from what I heard

Pleberino Dog yeah that's the race compound pads. My instructor was super impressed how well I was doing. He was a formula 2000 driver and was saying I have a really good potential to do racing in the future :D . He said I was the best student he ever instructed 😎. My biggest limiting factor was my tires. It was pretty much impossible to be completely consistent since they would overheat after a few laps and what I did the previous lap wouldn't work on the next one. And they just aren't very good tires in the first place, so even when they weren't overheating they weren't super grippy.

edathi that's cool dude as I said earlier I've been learning a lot about cars and stuff like this interests me. And yeah the tires o could hear squeaking with every turn. Other than that (after you got some space after the first lap) you had some pretty solid laps. Good luck in the future man.
