I also went for a grass cutting excursion off of T8 during the last session on Sunday that I will post soon for a bit of humor. Unfortunately, I cannot blame it on a coolant spill.
That thing screams. ....and very fast shifts and wow, those brakes into T1. Good speed through all the corners w/ late braking and good throttle pick up so not much more I can add except I would try to carry a few more mph thru 4 and carry a bit more speed thru 8, apex speed there should be around 80 relative to the rest of your lap (but line has to be just right or get ready to catch). Very nice driving.

That looks a lot like my laps, except for the speed, precision, braking and acceleration. I went to buy an 09 PDK at Tysons and was an hour late (a year ago and have been looking ever since), so I have been trying to make the mustang work. Your video isn't helping my mood

Nice driving!

Chuck - glad that was your fast lap and you didn't lose too much speed coming out of t10 at the beginning of the video. Tough to see but that was the lap you didn't see my initial point-by. Hence the second more hurried points.

Nice driving. That car hauls out there.

Thanks for the note but you did not hold me up! All about having fun and for me, trying to execute on at least some of what Peter was telling me to do. Lap time was a pleasant surprise but I was really working on quality braking, keeping my head up, putting power down, and on and on...

Yea - first DE was April. What a fantastic sport! Potomac PCA is unbelievable - great people, awesome instructors and the DE program is managed in such an impressive way. It has made learning easy and incredibly fun.

Thanks. Working with Peter was amazing. I am hoping to post some of the key things I learned - maybe someone else will get some value from it. Just need a bit of time to put it together. He is very focused on Video and data so I'd like to post screen shots and stuff.

Peter's a great resource to have on this coast. Very knowledgeable and user-friendly.

Please do, it clearly worked for you! The car is obviously fast, but you're also driving it very well.
