Solid race, Carter — P6 with a clear improvement trend over the 7 laps tells me you were figuring things out and getting faster as you went, not fading. Sector 2 is your standout: you led the field there, so that skill is real and repeatable. Your opportunity is sector 1 — it's your least consistent spot, and closing that gap is where your 1.59s per lap of ideal time is hiding. Head into the next race locked in on smoothing out sector 1 early, and that improving trend should carry even further.
