New personal best with a 3.84 second improvement. My old time was 01:42.20 compared to 01:38.45 today. I hired an instructor and he managed a 01:33.6 driving my car even though he ran out of fuel a few seconds before the start/finish line, which shows how capable my cars is, it's the driver that need work! I think he could have gotten an 01:31 with more fuel. Here are just a few notes from my instructor for the day:

0:17 - Turn 2 - I can take this much faster without braking. Get to the left quicker as I approach, then lift and turn in at a faster speed. Use the throttle to manage understeer.

0:36 - Turn 3 I'm shifting too much and can keep it in the same gear all the way from turn 3 to turn 5

1:14 - Turn 8 - No need to brake nor downshift, just lift. I managed to hit this turn at 115mph later in the day, but it was sketchy with the car wanting to bounce out of control. My instructor said my car was under-dampened for this track and a stiffer setting will help the car feel more stable. It's manageable, but not confidence inspiring.
