Solid race, Ryan — P3 with a lap trend that improved by over a second across the race tells me you found more speed as it went on, and that's exactly the direction you want. Sector 1 was your rock all day, so keep leaning on that as your anchor. Your real opportunity is sector 3 — you actually led the field there at your best, but it's your least consistent sector, and closing that gap between your best and your average is worth 2.49s a lap. Heading into the next race, focus on repeating your sector 3 best rather than chasing something new — that alone gets you to a 28.99 lap.
