1st time at Street of Willows – CCW as a noob enthusiast.
1. Traffic on the uphill middle of turns 9 and 8. Turn 2 and 1.
2. Instructor didn’t want me to brake late or care about the time. The goal is to learn the line and be smooth. I don’t blame him. I probably will feel the same if I was him since it’s my first time on this track.
3. Some cars won’t "point by" even though I am tailing them. Since I am not in the advanced group, they only want is to overtake in the middle of turn 9 to 8 and turn 1 to 14.
4. Lesson learned – M3P can be pushed beyond my feeling of the car’s limit.
5. I need racing seats and harnesses to control the car. I’m all over the place each turn. Every brake is bad. I can’t brake hard without holding the steering wheel to control myself moving forward and then turning hard, while using my knees to stop myself from moving left and right. You cannot control the car to its full potential like this under pressure and stress.
I am hoping Mountainpass performance starts selling their seat package.
6. Rear tires sidewall has more wear and tear than the front due to track mode 30/70
7. 30psi cold. 36 psi hot after 1st session.
8. I charged the M3P 98% at home. 95% once on the track 94% on the turn.
PB 1:32. It's slow but I am confident I can break into the 20s if there's no traffic , and no point-by-pass in certain turns. Going to a private event and paying more is much better. Lesson learned.

- 1st session ends and I have 70% battery left.
- 2nd session ends and I got 40% battery left. I drove to the supercharger with 36% left, and charge 85%. Got to the track with 78%.
- 3rd session, 40% left. By this time, I knew there was no point running since I still want to go home. I should have skipped the 3rd session, charged the car 90%, go to 4th session in hopes that there are fewer people running.
