I am certainly not a "Superman" or anything like it. But, without having access to my data and knowing what my car is capable of it is very hard to know what I am really doing wrong and what I could do better.

I have a lot of areas for improvement but my line through 15 is not really one of them. That has been examined and is understood. Anyone that thinks 15 is a simple corner that you are braking into and accelerating out of does not know the corner. You enter 15 from a very short straight right after turn 14. I roll off just enough to not fall off the the track exiting the turn. Turn 15 is much like turn 5 at Sonoma Raceway. Faster cars have to breathe the throttle as they get through the corner. You don't slow down before you enter it so you can roll on without having to breathe the throttle.

If I could afford to wad up my car and replace it on a whim, I would drive my car closer to the edge with a lot more corrections happening. But I don't particularly like going off track so I try to stay closer to 99.9% than 101%.
