Me at the track.

Used a GoPro but sadly all I looked at was the floor. Next time I shouldn't have this problem.

It was fun though!

Not bad! You're looking through the corners, and your lines are consistent from lap to lap, so you've got a good baseline to work from. You're running around 1:43 or 1:44 for CCW lap times, and hitting that mark on multiple occasions, which also indicates consistency. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

Next time you're out there, late apex the 2nd in the chicane section (you hit it at 1:05 and again at 2:44), it's the last right before you hit the left onto the main straight. There's a pretty nasty ripple in the track there that upsets the suspension and makes you cut throttle instead of hammering it out onto the main straight. Other than that, try to transition more to slowing with the brakes instead of engine braking into the corners.

Another option for the camera is to attach it to the bike if you can. You'll have a more consistent reference point when trying to work on your lines since the camera is pointed the same direction every time. Not saying it's better, just another way to diagnose what you're doing. Here's a vid of what Arroyo Seco looks like going the same direction with the camera attached to the bike:

Again, you're consistent, and it looks like you're having fun, so keep it up!
