    Very nice lap! It definitely looks like you tend to be a driver with really smooth and clean inputs, I tend to wrestle things a bit as least in qualifying I’ve noticed in comparison. I’m always fascinated by driving style differences between drivers while also being relatively equal in speed.

    I just happened to have a set a new lap myself (with a video), just to give you a bit of a headache 😆

      Yeah, I’m definitely from the school of Jenson Button. You seem more Alonsp-esque, throwing the car in with more rotation on the wheel then letting the car grip mid corner.

      Things I’m taking from your video:
      -Degna 1 is flat holy crap.
      -Spoon cost me dearly.

      If I sort just those two things out, I’m easily on the 1.29.x range.

        Hah, funnily enough Alonso is my all time favorite driver and I have admired his driving style for many years.

        • Yeah Degna 1 is flat if you just close your eyes and huck it in!

        • I don’t think I’ve ever taken Spoon curve in any game or car and thought I did it right, it always feels so wrong to me. I think that attempt was the closest I’ve been to feeling I got it right.

        The 1:29’s are clearly within grasp for both of us, I feel I left a few tenths on the table at the hairpin alone with the lockup and horrible line.
