Slower is faster .. that explain why all the old folks out there driving 914s are so quick ! .. JK =D

With GGR's course layout .. both times I do stay in just 2nd gear after I get up to speed.

After researching more ( videos / books ) I'm infact probably losing a lot of time by 'overdriving' the car .. pushing too hard through corners that I hear the tires chunking ( or maybe the fact that they're 19's is causing the chunking .. lol ).

I see now a ton of new areas I can practice and improve instead of just late braking and using the entire track.

Thanks guys!
