Palmer in the 1:42 range. That's fast.....

This is TTD instructor Paul Duval.

Listen to the gear changes. For those who may be new to the track: you don't need to shift nearly as much as you might think. Paul confirmed that he's in 6th at the end of the front straight, drops down two to 4th for turns 1-3, then 3rd for the sharp uphill right hander at 4. The rest of the lap is run in 3rd, until he hits the front straight again.

This is what I've been doing too, but I'm one gear lower (and about 30 seconds a lap slower.... ).
