My only goal was to work on braking and car rotation. Accidentally beat my last time

My second day with coaching @Apex Motor Club in Phoenix, AZ. After looking at the data, and from what I learned from the first coaching day, we decided to work on my braking and car rotation, which, by the way, feels incredibly *awesome* when you get it right!! I wasn't focused on my last times at all, just really those 2 things. And I accidentally beat my last best time by 4 seconds!!

We did make one change to the car setup, though. The rear tire pressure was about 10psi (cold) higher than the front, on advice from Mark Pombo. The hot pressure ended with the rears about 5psi higher.

Mini GP3 with Federal RS-Pro's in 235/40/18, stock brake pads. Actually, everything stock except wheels/tires/brake fluid and brake lines.
