I have to learn the track and the only way to do that is driving it, and watching the videos I take. Lap times will come down but that isn't what that track is about, it's more about pushing yourself as far as you can with out crashing and having the time of your life. Once you start worrying about lap times and thinking you are better than the track, that's when things go wrong. If anyone go there to drive please remember have fun, push you're car only in the parts you know, do not worry about how fast you are going to lap it, there are no do overs on this track. If you mess up here you will be in the wall, and saying you are alright ,you will still have to pay to fix the wall you hit.
That is absolutely the attitude to take, that place needs the ultimate respect. You can't just hit 'reset' and have another go The surface can be very variable too, it can be dry on your first lap then when you wet get there on the next, and you never know what's around the corner, even when you have learnt the track. You can tell the most dangerous places though - its where all the photographers stand
