Unfortunately, I had some issues with Harry's Lap Timer, so there's no overlay data available.
Determined to improve my 2:09 lap time from my last visit to Buttonwillow, I decided to keep MDM (less restrictive traction control) on while exploring later braking points and getting the car to rotate more while trail braking. I knew how the car would behave when it broke away at lower speeds (2nd gear), but I want to explore how it would brake away at high speeds (3rd gear) while keeping the safety net of traction control available.
After I started to familiarize myself with these things and when I felt that traction control was hindering my speed, I turned off traction control completely and was able to get a 2:07 lap time on this session.
