My fastest lap of the day on my first ever track day at Winton Motor Raceway - was gunning for 1:41 but alas. Awesome experience with heaps of room for improvement but not enough time for more practice, and to make and test setup changes.
Some improvements for next time:
- Be smoother, carry more momentum and cornering speed
- Take T1 in 3rd and munch the curb
- Take T9 slightly wider
- Much stiffer springs
