I edited out all the parts where my instructor cursed and yelled at me. In the beginning, he thought I was way too aggressive and had me focus on "driving my drive" and not over-driving to pass the guy in front of me or keep the guy in my mirrors from passing. It actually did make me drive smoother and faster. Definitely a big change from my instructor at VIR, who pushed me to the point where I wasn't having any fun; I actually had to ask him to back off a bit. Anyway, it's nice to see different educational approaches.

Thanks for the feedback.
Quote:T1 looks fine. I would like to hear a little stronger throttle to the apex. T2 is a little late, you hit the apex, but your turning in too late using a little too much wheel, track out using the whole track. T3 a little late also, use more track. T4a-4b, if you get just right, you will use one wheel movement all the way to the dot for turn in back to the left.
