Nice race, James — you finished P7 and got faster as the race went on, trimming 2.05 seconds off your lap time by the end. That improving trend is the real story here: you were still learning the track as you went, which is a great sign for next time out. Your sector 3 was your rock all race, so keep leaning on that. Your opportunity is sector 1 — you've got 0.52s per lap on the table between your best lap and your ideal lap, and sector 1 is where it's hiding. Go into your next race treating lap 1's early sector 1 like it's already lap 8 — you clearly know how to hit it once you're locked in.
