Lets see some Expo videos... here is one of my laps of the beaver
Definetly some room for improvement, I messed up a few corners and coasted for most of the back straight... As you can see the JDM FD is not perfectly suited for this track but it still gets the job done. Some extra revs would definitly help.

wow, that toyos like to scream.. that`s unusual... My Yokohamas stay quiet.
Was that 3rd gear in the infield ? Just to get an idea of how fast you were going there...

Yes... they do like to let me know that they are sliding... the infield was 3rd gear while both front and back straights saw 5th.

No trailbraking at all
Very choppy steering inputs
Lifting for T2, T7, T9
Missing the apex big time in T4 and T10
Car is getting loose under braking, apply the brakes smoother
Next time out do a session and only use 4th gear - focus on keeping your vision up, maintaining momentum and hitting your apexes

Certainly not - just some suggestions to look at for next time on track.
Sometimes we never really realize our bad habits/mistakes until we see them from the in-car video

maybe it's my crappy laptop speakers but i don't hear a lift for T2.
you turned in too tight for T2. i found a slightly early apex and wider track out allowed me to hold the steering wheel in the exact same place from the entrance of T2 to the exit of T3.
you would not believe how much faster T4 can be taken when you get up on the curb at the apex, you basically want to brush the yellow pylons in T1, T2, T3 and T4. if you're in a situation like being near the rev limiter but not wanting to shift before a turn just hold the throttl rather than bouncing off it. you wan to aviod doign anything to upset the balance of the car.
i do a late apex at T5 so i can run up the right side of the hill. i try to have my left wheels on those patches in the center of the track. this results in a better angle at T6 and thus a faster exit speed. the faster you come out T6 the faster you are going gonna be going down the back straight.
other than the botched shifts before T8 and entering T10 the rest looked fine to me. i do not see where he missed the apex for T10. i always apexed T10 around the same spot and do many other people and shown by the patch of dirt just to the inside of the track where grass use to be.
i know my car was getting very very light at the rear under braking. i attribute that to worn *** stock suspension and worn *** suspension bushings not any brake application issues.
*edited to fix the turn number i screwed up*

Thanks for the comments... I agree almost completely....
I'm not offended in the least... It was my first event of the year and there was alot of rust showing. Still, I'm pretty pleased with my sessions and use the in car footage to self analyze (reaching many of the same conclusions as you). Had this been a two day event I'm sure I could have resolved a few of the problems.
