Compared to last time there was very little wind, but track temps were ~15* higher. I was able to run my tune and JB4 this time without issue. I really should have put together a new custom map 6 tune for the track. My street tune for map 6 has too much low end TQ for me to drive it smoothly with the on/off throttle and the gears I use for this track. Being in a lower gear on corner exit probably would have helped as it would have taken me out of the huge TQ spike at mid-RPM. Because of this the car felt very loose compared to last time. Felt like I was learning the car again to a certain extent.
Spun the car which I haven't done in like 10 years. Roasted the tires coming out of a corner and just couldn't catch it in time. Always learning 
Here is some vid from the practice session that I spliced together. Totally forgot to film my session with my hotlap

1:33.9 is fast!! I did 1:33.2 in my stripped out E92 M3 with BFG R1S. It was super greasy and I almost spun at Turn 2 so I know the feeling.
I think I have your spin here - I remember thinking I was hoping your car was all right given the huge clouds of dirt that came up!
