I saw some improvement, too--about 2½ seconds faster than in August, down to a 1:25.119 on Sunday. I know I'm giving up some speed not shifting as much as I probably should, coming in to T3 and T9, but if I can hold more speed through the corners I might be able to step up to higher gears generally. Interesting to see my entrance speed in T1 at 46 mph and exit at 80 mph. T3 I'm getting in at 72 and out at 81. T5 in at 44 and out at 61. Carousel in at 38 (leaving speed on the table there) and out at 66. T9 in at 73 and out at 93. T10 in at 70 and out at 84 (more speed left there). On the straight I peaked at 143.46 mph. That's one lap. My theoretical fast lap time for that session, and emphasize the word theory here, was 1:23.368.
It's going to be a loooong winter.
