I think these two laps will end up being my fastest of the day. The first lap is very ugly, never would guess it'd be fastest. But it has a line coming back up the main straight that I didn't use very much, maybe that is much faster.

There was good news and bad news today. The good news is my cooling loop held up just fine, coolant @ 198-202, oil @ 230-239. Oil at 250+ is where I'd have to back off. The differential between coolant and oil means I could put in a bigger heat exchanger and bring the oil down if necessary.
The bad news is my brakes sucked a fat one. It's obvious in the videos that I'm letting off the throttle and braking way early. That's because I had a few ass clenching moments earlier in the day where ze brakes, zey did nothing. I don't know why. Short suspect list is pads didn't bed, warped disk(s), caliper knocking, ABS "ice mode", or just quick onset fade.
Some quick other notes: Suspension feels great, maybe understeering a bit, but that's what I was aiming for. My clutch pedal can get stuck if it flexes to the right, will need to fix this. My oil pressure/temp gauge was flashing all the time because apparently the flashing setting != the blinking setting?
