Wheel speed and throttle position can tell 90% of what you need to know.
That's my philosophy anyway.
We ran 36-37s at Barber earlier this year.
If we had our current updated version ... I am pretty sure we would be sub 35's.
1 second at Barber is a huuuuuuuuge chunk of change.
Watchin your video ... U r very smooth.
Your transitions between throttle to brake new to be quicker.
This will do maaaaaaany things.
It will give you a better sense of braking and what the car can really do... an a much clear understanding of how long your braking zones new to be.
Brake earlier And quicker from full throttle to brake... Hard brake.
Your foot speed from pedal to pedal should be quick.
Once you learn the depth and gain confidence in the cars braking and CONSIsTenTLY brake consistent.... then you can work on carrying the brakes deeper.
When going through the kink on the back striaght.... That is where u want to e very smooth with the throttle pedal.
You up shifted to 4th and then came all the way off the gas.
I would say to shift to 4th earlier out of the museum turn.. And when you get ready to enter the kink ease off the throttle but keep 25% throttle to help keep the car settled.
Once you kiss te curbing on the right.... Power down.
