Solid finish, Rex — and the story of your race is real progress, not just a scoreboard position. You trended faster as the race went on (2.67s improvement lap over lap), which tells you the pace is in there once you settle in. Sector 2 is your strong point, so lean on that. Your clear opportunity is sector 3 — you're leaving about 0.96s per lap on the table between your average and your own best lap, and that gap traces mostly back there. Go into next race focused on repeating your best sector 3, not finding a new one — that alone closes most of the gap to your ideal lap of 36.38s.
