Really seems like you're getting the most out of the car, I told my friends there you were going to pull the best time
To finish, starting at the 3rd to last cone in the slalom, which is the cone where the slalom began to open up, I was at full throttle. That caused me to carry too much speed into the offset gates. So, I braked to enter the offset gates, then got back on the throttle. I braked again to make the left and right through that sea of cones and got back on the throttle as I was turning right.
The part the impresses me the most about my run, and probably made the biggest difference in my times, was making that left/right so smooth and fast. It took
a lot of steering input to get through there, and it was not easy.
I imagine Andrew must do the same thing through the entire course.
330SMG- A few things I noticed about your run; you are turning too late and too much and you went through the turn around too wide. Turning earlier and turning less will allow you to carry more speed. Keeping a tighter line will allow to cover a shorter distance. The less distance you travel, the faster you will be.
