[quote=afridi;262899]I was pretty happy with my 2:01 best time and 2:04 average.

I think I can easily take off a couple of seconds but after that will require some hard work.QUOTE]

Congratulations on what sounds like a very rewarding weekend, for both you and your student. Instructing can be gratifying, and it gives you more in-car time to assess landmarks on-track, even if you're in the right seat. Being humble enough to have friends ride with you to assess your strengths and weaknesses shows real maturity and wisdom. I always learn something new at a DE.

Any car that's new to you on-track will take time, whether you're coming out of a 911, a Z4 M Coupe or whatever. You're fortunate to be in an exceptional car that will show you its strengths as you improve. It was hard for me to accept that I am never as good as my car, so I continue to work on the weak link, even after instructing for more than ten years.

It's truly an addiction, but what a blast!

Cheers,

John Cuellar
