Early in the run, it looked like you were turning in rather late. That appeared to last until the last set of chicanes.

I had a quick look. If you were behind on you steering, it didn't seem to be by much. I can't see the course very well in this video and I wasn't there, so I can't tell where you may have made mistakes.

I agree with Muddy. (thought it was just me) The narrow angle of the video makes the course a little hard to read. It seems like you might be a little too far from some key cones here or there, but it's hard to be sure from this video. Maybe a little too harsh with steering inputs in a few places, overpowering the front tires.

I was thinking you need a wider angle lens.

hehe, that's as wide as it goes... finding a new camera mount is cheaper than buying a new camera

I don't know much about AX but road racers don't move their hand position through turns.

Depends on the car and the course. Compared to an autocross course, most road courses have pretty shallow turns. It's probably safe to say that every autocross course has at least one corner that for a typical production sedan or sports car, requires enough steering wheel movement to force moving your hands.
