Very nice!!!
I see you don't have any lap times on your PDR video, and that's because you never defined the finish line.
Take a look at the thread below, and scroll down to post# 11. The thread is a library of start/finish lines. There are .map.gpx files for a few tracks, and in post# 11 spearfish25 has a file for the S/F line at Sebring:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...px-thread.html
All you need to do is download the file to your SD card for the track you'll be running, then you don't need to hit the "define finish line" button on your PDR screen when you're at the track. All you need to do is start recording and you'll get the lap times on your video.
Anybody who has a good file for any S/F line that's not in that thread, please go over and add it to the thread.
Additionally, it looks like you're in just the basic Track mode. Until you had the tires warmed up a bit Dry might have been a good drive mode choice, then you could have just twisted the **** to go into Sport 1 or Sport 2 later on when the car was warmed up and especially the tires were up into a good grip temperature zone.
Overall it looks you had a lot of fun driving Sebring!!

Will you be coming to run the HPDE at Daytona Int'l Speedway on the Rolex 24 roadcourse April 12-13?
It's going to be a great event, as it always has been in past years!
There's no other track where you can turn the beast in your Vette loose like at Daytona!!
Hope to see a bunch of forum members and Vettes here in a couple weeks!!

I am really determined to learn Sebring this year like I did for the last 2 years at Homestead and PBIR.

Forum member Henry Gilbert's organization (Performance Driving Group) puts on events at Homestead, PBIR, Sebring, and Daytona, among other tracks. Maybe you've driven at one of his events.
Take a look at:
http://performancedrivinggroup.com/events
You can see that his HPDE at Daytona this year is Oct 5-7, so if you get Sebring down by then, maybe you'd like to come up to Daytona to run the Rolex 24 course in October. Daytona costs a lot more to run than just about anywhere else (COTA is about the same), but you can do 1, 2, or all 3 days of the event. You'll get five 30 minute sessions each day for 2-1/2 hours of track time per day!!
There are only 4 or so HPDE type events at Daytona every year. There's one in April, Henry's in Oct, there might be a PCA event the end of Oct or early Nov (sometimes they have one, other years they don't), and an event in Dec. So if Oct doesn't work for you, maybe you'd like to attend one of the events later in the fall.
Hope to c'ya at the track!!

How did your PDR work on Sunday?
Did you download the .map.gpx file for Sebring, or did you "Define Finish Line" in order to get lap times?
Also, were you able to get into PTM Sport 2 on Sunday? Your Saturday video shows just the basic Track mode because you hadn't selected any PTM sub-mode during that session.
