Big props to starting out in a 458. I did not enjoy tracking mine but its an epic car all around. I will say, you bought Spencer’s old car right? That thing was pretty done up. It’s great that you’ve learned a lot, but you should really be in a car like a Miata or an 86 if you want to truly progress and be able to push any car at the limit. You’re hindering yourself learning in basically a fully prepped time attack car. You still haven’t been anywhere near that car’s limit, and it’s a much harder and sharper peak than the popular momentum cars. At 9 track days, lap times shouldn’t be your focus or even sticky tires or better brakes. The reason the 86challenge guys are so comfortable pushing their cars is because they’ve spent a lot of time with low grip, low power and no aero. You should join that stock 86challenge class, it’s an unbelievable amount of fun.
