Taking my Mont Tremblant formula to Virginia, the track and I became one and put down a great Personal Best (PB) on day 1: 2m16.31s. Executing the current winning formula turned that PB into an average time by day 2. Consistent laps when taking different driving lines are one of my primary objectives when at the track. It's an essential skill when in traffic and with 'passing anywhere' conditions. So mission accomplished!

But after a closer view of the VBOX CAN data, I some lap time opportunities. For example, getting brake and throttle magnitudes more tightly coupled (no coasting moments). Tweaking that and more techniques per VBOX channel data, I bested my PB with 2m14.86s! I'm very happy with it and continue to be an advocate of gathering data if you are keen on improving your craft in this hobby.
Awesome. There were other forum members at that event. M4 GTS. Did you say hello?
