It always strikes me as odd that so few people keep record of their lap times at track days. I completely appreciate Hooked On Driving’s philosophy of a non-competitive environment to provide a safe education. Practicing a particular skill or nailing the apex for a series of turns is what you’re there to focus on during a track day, and you can’t do that while fighting off aggressive traffic. But one key way to know if you’re making any improvement is to record your times. That education is even more valuable if you can compare times with someone who has more experience than you who might know a better line.
So, thanks to Kevin for posting his Laguna video and giving a yard stick to measure against. Putting our two in-car laps side by side you can really compare where we gain or loose time against each other.
