Would have been pretty cool having a Le Mans Pro in the car with you HM! Watching it back even now it is really beneficial being able to review it, will certainly be a helpful reference for next time
Glad you've got your brakes sorted, albeit that must have been a pretty disturbing discovery with the brake line! Braided lines do seem to work wonders by comparison I must agree. Its a difficult one, I think if I consider doing track day events more then I may consider getting track pads to fit to the car as it seems the only sensible solution. I have suspicions I may have glazed my carbotech's but until I can take them off tomorrow then I'm clueless, however the braking performance doesn't feel anywhere near where it was when they were fitted

Looking back, unless you have the grip/aero and handling to stay in 4th, the 1st corner should likely be done in 3rd as shinny was doing for max acceleration out of it.
When I was having to slow for other cars at that corner and having to drop into 3rd, I'm sure I was getting better acceleration and topping out in 4th for the next corner sooner than just keeping it in 4th the whole time.
Interesting point, I never tried 3rd around that corner after the instructors comments. If there was a car ahead then generally speaking I would say you could justify the need for 3rd. However if it was clear road then 4th made sense imo as I was doing 80mph+ through there so there wouldn't be much performance to be had there and was sitting at about 4k rpm in 4th. It shouldn't be an issue with the amount of torque imo...

Spill the beans have you kept yours? or is a new project about to be started?! You know you'll have difficulty keeping up with me now if you do
