Solid finish, Ryan — and the story of your race is real improvement, not just a P8 result: you trimmed 3.10s off your pace as the race went on, which means you were figuring things out lap by lap instead of fading. Sector 2 is your strong point, so keep building around that. Your opportunity is sector 1 — it's costing you consistency, and closing that gap is exactly what's behind that 1.98s per lap you're leaving on the table (your 33.62s ideal lap vs. 35.59s best). Take that improving trend into your next race and make sector 1 the focus early — you've already shown you can find time when you settle in.
