This seemed like a cool video to share with you guys from the same trackday, but with a different view. Thanks to the camera, I could really see what I need to improve. I definitely need to brake much later, and I also need to improve my riding lines. It was funny to see that my bike has a lot more power than most of the other bikes in this group, so I was buying time that way. I only lost a lot of time by braking way too early compared to the others. I did need to get used to my new Brembo brakes, since this was also the first day I could test those out. I even needed to brake them in xD

Overall, very happy with my PR. I know I can do a lot better, but this was my first trackday with my Yamaha R1 so I wanted it to take it "easy". This was also the only session of the day I could ride with the faster people of the day. I entered in the slowest group because I didn't know how I would do, and like I said, I wanted to take it easy. But by doing so well in the slowest group (group 5), the organization wanted to put me in group 3! I knew immediately that this the right group for me.

Next time, I will focus more on braking and riding lines.
