Overall super impressed by the car and how it drove on track. Car has MSS Urban Springs (which probably hurt the time rather than helped it, as they tend to have a bit more sway and are softer than OEM) and I replaced the brake fluid with Castrol SRF. Other than that the car is stock. It had a very good overall balance with no issues with corner entry understeer.

Here is my fastest lap. Learned after the first session you have to do you quickest lap right after your outlap because after that the tires just don't have quite the same grip level. Brakes held up well although when pushing them hard they will start to fade. Moving the braking point on the 2 long straights back about 100 meters made them fade free for the entire 20min session.



I was on track for a 1.29 in the first full lap of my last session and I didn't realize until later I needed to turn all the safety features off. The car went into crash prevention mode braking into turn 10. It tightened the belts, rolled up the windows and turned the stability control back on.

It was almost 90deg ambient temps and the car had 0 issues pushing hard for 20min sessions.

I'll post the gopro incar vid when it's finished processing.
