Solid race to build on, Brian — you were still finding speed at the end, improving by nearly a second as the laps went on, which tells me you were getting more comfortable, not fading. Sector 1 is your big story: it's both your strongest sector and your least consistent one, meaning the speed is already in your hands, you just haven't put it together lap after lap yet. That 1.07s gap between your best lap and your ideal lap is basically sitting in sector 1 — close that up and you've got a 37.9 in your pocket. Next race, focus on repeating your best sector 1, not chasing a new one.
