I drive a minimum of 2 hours for any track event.
First time on the track... I had a coach riding with me thru out the day.

Biggest thing for me from that session was how much I can trust the breaking on the TT.
Going from 90 to 35 then making the hair pin turn. As the day went by, I started to breaking later and later.
Track time is the only time I can put the TT to "my" limit. I'm always worry about push the car in public roads. I'm not a fast drive either, I maybe one of the slow drivers in my group. Learn what the TT can do... is amazing (priceless).

It is a bit distracting when you pass someone. It takes your attention off the next turn to complete the pass and you're not in the usual position(line) on the track, or usual speed. Then you realize you needed to do something in that second and it's too late. Looks like this is a tricky place to pass on the ring, just before the jump.

Sounds like the people in the car that shot the video where clicking out of there seat belts at the end of the video ,that seems kinda dangerous in it's self ,i was always told to stay in your car ,but couldn't imagine what it's like doing hot laps at the ring like that with people passing you.It's on my bucket list but it would be pretty scary i'm guessing.
