Braking into T1 and T3 is now an event. Weird understeer through T1 (though I expect that will diminish as it gets rubbered in). T3 is now smooth, but T4 has a new reminder why you need to be ON THROTTLE well before apex. T5 is similar. T6 has a little more camber -- exciting since it's such an important corner. T7/8 are slipppppery, and T9 hasn't lost much drama. Without a doubt, my new favorite corner is T10 -- there's an additional 5mph, maybe more.
Excellent observation. I agree on the weird understeer, you gotta trail brake in order to get on power hard before the apex. The weekend with PCA that was the case. I went back with NASA for the time trial event and even on a 19-25 degree day Saturday car was 2 FULL Seconds faster as more tires are getting on the surface but above all your observation (like carrying more speed, which corner is faster etc.) is exactly what I found from after event video. I think the rain washed away a bit of speed on Sunday (when with PCA).
