Had 3 good sessions at PIR this past Friday. Lower enrollment made for lighter traffic and more opportunities for clean laps. The weather was great giving us some cool dense air so everything seemed to be running well. Spent time trying to work on my braking to help keep the front end planted through a few of the turns on the course (though it pointed out I could probably use some better brake cooling so I'll be trying out some RS3 ducts for June). Link to my 3rd Session with my best lap time below. Apologies for the crap audio...was trying out a new external mic setup and didn't have the settings dialed in yet.
