Nice entry on the 2nd one, first one was a bit weak.

A bit of constructive criticism... You appear to be too on/off , and too mashy and coarse with the car. Best example is that when you've taken the first right hander, into the 2nd one, you wind on ASS loads of angle but it takes you away from the apex of the left hander and slows your car down. When you then try to take the left hander you're having to come off the throttle then nail it again into the final right hander which you also ease off on due to taking the wrong line (this is something you've caused earlier in the track).

When I was taking the 2nd right hander, I was concentrating and aiming for the next left hander straight away, so my car was aiming at the apex before I got to it so I could hug close-ish to the left hand side of the track for the transition into the last right. By this time my wheels were at the clipping point (on the outside, remember) and I was nudging full lock in 3rd flat out (I was in 3rd anyway but you get the idea of speed), only very slightly lifting sometimes to get round the apex then letting the back end run over the kerb on the outside up towards the finish line.

Not trying to shit on you but hopefully you can interpret what I am saying and see if it makes sense to you. I think I would have gotten round that course a good few seconds faster than you so there is plenty you can work on for next time or for round 3

Nice footage anyway what camera did you use?
