well ... i think the answer to all this is to install a manual gear. i'm a bit ammused that sport cuts off ur 4th gear!! mine doesn't, but in ur case as i mentioned above u should have used the M, manual. I hit the 6200 rpm alot ... go to extremes this engine can stand it. u remember when I stepped on it to the 7000+ ... it was dangerous I know... but it happened to change the vavle adjustemnt after all. but its a nice experinece after all.

I agree with you ...
You got basically no help from the "instructor". I didn't hear any discussion whatsoever of your braking point, turn-in, the apex you selected, throttle application, consistancy, smoothness, driving position, or any safety comments. Pretty damn sorry job by those folks.
That really was my biggest observation .... no useful instruction.
That first turn after the paddock is pretty scary. As I kept watching the video, I would gringe every time you rolled into that corner just waiting for a spin. Ultimately, you didn't disappoint me.The other spins were mild compared to what that corner can serve up.
Except for the first turn, I like the track layout. Looks fun to drive and has a lot of runout in case you do get off track. Nice and wide open too - you can see all the cars. Local track
here is not really as safe as yours - much less runout, has some blind corners and trees and a big elevation change messes up the sight lines.
Didn't look to me like you needed any more braking help. Car seemed to do OK. I'd find a good instructor next time and have them really work with on getting the line nailed and some technique refinement.
