What a beautiful track! Good job man! Maybe, try to keep the brakes a little longer (until the apex), with more speed entry (not so easy). This will prevent you from these jerks when accelerating, and the understeer in your entry. Your laptime will be even better! You accelerate too soon because of your lack of speed in mid corner. Everything else seems perfect!

I'm with you, I think that is good feedback. I have new and improved calipers, new pads and rotors, and new brake balance controller in the works. I'm hoping to brake deeper into the turns next season. I have over 10,000 track miles on the car and the original hardware needs a refresh.

1:30 Impressive!! Crazy 1.99 G too! Someday, KZitem will allow 120fps ... hopefully... I'm skeptical because I've never seen 1080 @ 120fps.. but it could be on KZitem..

Shoot, I lost 4k 120fps to compression. There are so many TVs that can show 4k 120fps and the Go Pro didn't overheat. Oh well.

On the rear this time 23" tall tires vs. last time tall boy 27.9" NASCAR tires. Shorter gearing and less drag vs. 1" wider patch. The front this time 245 vs. last time 295, so less drag vs. wider patch.

I'm heading go LS this weekend with my newly acquired Atom 3S. It's all stock currently, running brand new stock sized R888Rs. I've been watching all of your videos. Any advice for someone new to road racing an Atom? I've done a number of track days before so not new to road racing or Laguna Seca, just the Atom. Appreciate any advice you can offer!

Don't go hot out of the box. Warming up tires is half the skillset. Also pay attention to the tire temp transitioning as you go through the session. Fronts will likely only get better the more you drive but the rears will usually warm up first and can go past the peak, so you might find understeer, then oversteer, or anything really. Low speed understeer is terminal, so good trail breaking technique is key.
