This video captures a personal best lap of 2:10.686 in a Mazda Miata during qualifying for an SCCA SFR Regional Race at Thunderhill Raceway. Despite achieving a new personal best, the driver offers a detailed self-critique of the lap:

• Turn 1: Lacked full commitment.
• Turn 2: Opportunity to go deeper while trailing off the brakes.
• Turn 3: Experienced some rear slip mid-corner.
• Turn 5: Could enter deeper and improve flicking the rear out before the apex; suggests dropping a wheel off-track to better hook the corner.
• Turn 6: At the limit, but initial rotation and early turn-in were a bit rough.
• Turn 8: Required a smoother turn-in to maintain speed.
• Turn 9: Performed surprisingly well.
• Turn 10: Taken at the limit.
• Turn 11: Involved an unplanned slight lift.
• Turn 14: Completely mishandled.

Even with these identified areas for improvement, this lap was three-tenths faster than previous attempts this season. The lap was recorded on new tires during the fourth qualifying lap.
