Solid effort out there, Marlowe — P9 with 8 laps in the books. Sector 2 was your bread and butter all race, and here's the encouraging part: you actually led the field in sector 3, so the speed is genuinely there when you hit it clean. Your real opportunity is consistency in that same sector — tightening it up would get you from that 35.25 best toward your 34.96 ideal, worth about 0.29s a lap. One thing to watch for next time: your pace faded late (0.65s off), so keep an eye on tires or focus in the closing laps — nail that and this result climbs on its own.
