Solid note to end on: your pace was trending the right way, improving 1.04s a lap as the race went on — that's you finding your rhythm, not fading. Sector 2 was your strong point all day, and interestingly you actually led the field in sector 3, even though it's also your least consistent spot — that's a sign there's real speed there, you just haven't nailed it lap after lap yet. With a 27.89s ideal lap against your 32.66s best, you've got 4.77s per lap sitting there waiting for you, and sector 3 is where most of it lives. Next race, focus on repeating your best sector 3, not chasing a new one — you've already proven you can hit it.
