Seat time and tuition is what makes you faster. I was taught to keep both hands on the wheel unless changing gear, not a hand on the gearstick waiting to change.

So good - getting the tuition is an excellent cheat code IMO worth more than more track time/mods good to leave the ego behind. Excited to see how the Fiesta develops but let’s be fair track days on their own are expensive enough just to be out there you’re winning 👊🏼

Great to see the car on a proper TD. That's where you soon find the limitations of a build. Those Toyos are terrible on the road let alone track so don't beat yourself up. If you have the option of boost by gear do it.
