I'm really stoked for you on the outcome, Dan!👏👏👏 Damn proud to see all your efforts paying dividends on track and I look forward to hearing what you have to say about it in the next one.👍 Have a good evening, dude.

    As some others have already said, rather than trying to find the apex. the Yellow car was using the karting line through most corners. When it was very wet Schumacher used the kart line line to great effect. Great video, great driving and love the two camera set up.

    im probably incorrect but do yo usually run those cornering lines in the dry (other factor that plays a role such as tires) but it seems that aw11 was taking a wider line which is usually whats whats recommended for such conditions, but i gotta say you handled this race like a boss it was very impressive and suspenseful watching this bravo.

    Awesome skills u have Dan. Sending greeting and subscribtion from Poland. What I can see top 10-15 drivers in MR2 championship are really skilled drivers definetily. Imo that yellow aw11 and actually most of your opponents drive more smooth during rain (im watching Bubarowe channel long Time for example). That steering wheel you use arent it too small? It looks like 320mm or kind of. And second thing - when you cornering you have around 20-30% throttle and then in one moment 100% when exiting. I'm definetily worst driver than you but I think those 2 things may be changed to improve lapping. More smooth with gas when exiting and maybe that steering wheel is too small to be more smooth.
