Few laps from RA this weekend. Critique away
I already know the "you could go faster part".
If you see any problem areas that could be easier another way, feel free to suggest.

I was trying to hitch a ride with some of the hot shots, but it was just too hot for anyone to do extra laps.

sorry we couldn't hook up for some ride alongs, I ended up slipping out for about 1.5 hr right after lunch to take care of something, and then I gave some taxi cabs during the last 3 HPDE sessions (just scaring some family members) but I didn't see you in the late afternoon.

I typed up a critique late last night, but the CF server must have crashed before I could post it. I'll look over it again tonight, but here were the highlights that I can remember.
Hard to know exactly with the tight camera angle:
Maybe a little wide getting into T3.
Unless you plan on spinning your engine to 7K or more, start practicing using 4th through the esses and back to 3rd to get out of T5.
Looks like you're pinching exit of T12.
Stay track left entering 9 - get back right cresting the hill.
More throttle everywhere.

I understand 3 as I see you are turning a bit earlier from two and catching a bit more gater on 3 to get the angle. I think I can do that, but there is a fine line between an earlier turn in and this line that I achieved once on Sat. So you can imagine why I opt for the later turn in to get the angle on 4 to guarantee this doesn't happen.
Please explain how you would do 12 different. I really can't see the difference in the sweeper. Am I turning in too late?

I missed T3, T4 & T5 completely.
I wish I had that lap back.
T12 - It's hard to tell from the camera angle, but maybe you're turning in just a hair too early?? It just seems like you're binding the car up at the bottom. It's very hard to tell with the zoom in the video.

That was far from a good TT lap. I was just lucky enough to have great tires on for that session. There was much more on the table during that run and I just left it out there. It was my first time on new tires and I didn't really know what I was doing.
