I'm more proud of the many you didn't detect - *that's* the way to catch them - early :-)
Actually, that turn is one that i like to brake late and get the car to rotate. Was not doing that those laps (focused on other things).

Looks like your were around 2.29 in the white group runs?
Grant --> In those videos, yes. My best were in the 2:28s -- nearly flat one run
Questions:
What sort of camera were you using in the second video? That was very clear and free of the typical phone camera rolling shutter effects.
Grant -->First was Harry's 480p, iphone 5s
Grant -->Second was GoPro (G1) 720p, wide
Did you have a data logger running during those runs? I use Race Render to merge my RaceChrono data from the phone with the Canon Elph video when I'm not using the phone for everything. A great program for $20 and easy to use.
Grant --> I run Harry's for data all runs. Forgot to turn it on video on a few - including the "2nd video"
How's the track when cold with the new pavement?
Also, did they grind down the the curbs in the S's? it didn't look like they were upseting the car much when you went over them. Last year I hit the second one on the left at full bore and it really jolted the car.
Grant --> mechani9cal grip is good - nothing's polished yet. Decent cold, but cold is unpredictable! I took 2 laps before i pushed.

... with good lines.
From the camera's angle it looks like you're not using all the track.
Grant --> I should be...where? I am a bit careful of the rumble turtles....If you have a reference time I'll look, but it may be the angle. Occasionally i don't track out the last few inches -- or foot - but that means i didn't enter as fast as i should have. Over-cautious on some entries, trying to overcome. Raised my speed on 3 and 10 about 10 mph.
When you get passed by a 911 just before a turn, you should be able to immediately tuck behind and keep up with him through the turn, even challage to pass.
Grant --> I'll go back and watch. As i recall, that RG all the 911s were race prepped on slicks. They can stick better than me alas. While it depends on the turn ( and i have to go look with your comments in mind), i am often foot to floor trying to follow, without luck. certainly true in the snake. In the esses I'm still being a pussy. Fulls stop :-)
When you're letting a faster car pass you you shouldn't have to lift off the gas. It seems that that's where you're loosing momentum.
Grant --> See preceding. I need to go back and review. Thanks.
I don't mean to be critical. It's just my inner instructor coming out.
Grant --> Appreciated.
I wish I could have been there. Maybe in 2015.
Grant --> I'll keep inviting you!
Happy Boxstering
