First track day at VIMSC

This place is fantastic - 19 corners, 91m of elevation changes per lap (I got a bit motion sick) http://islandmotorsportcircuit.com/about/tracks/
Feels a bit like a nice golf course because the facility is so nice. (private track, but there are days they open to the public) They're hoping to add a section that goes into the forest. Only 50k to join....

the track isn't very demanding of the car, my breaks got hot but still feel fine (flushed them the day before, don't need to after track day)

my problem was my tire pressures, I didn't have a way to add air to my tires and I think had I added more to my fronts I could have gotten rid of some understeer.

I downloaded one of those free Race Chrono apps - right away was getting lap times (its free and so cool..) I'm relatively new to this, but was able to improve about 8 seconds per lap by the end of the day - the track has some complicated bits that if you get into them wrong, you're slow for several corners. I need to go back for more practice
