I'm copying the data right now, I haven't done any indepth analysis yet but there some interesting things to say the least.

I'd never have figured in a million years I could use the steering wheel to get a gearing advantage on some corners.

Yeah, it was a bit of a shock to me too.

Redline on my car should put me at about 28-30 mph which was the case when you were driving my car, but on my shifts the car was hitting 33-34 mph which is higher than I should be seeing. Were talking about small differences but something I noticed.

So what I gather is happening, on that right hand turn the torque is going to the inside wheel and when I turned left hard the torque was still going to that wheel since it was overheated and loaded up and I gained a small gear advantage in doing so. At that particular moment I was 4 mph faster than you but it also put me on a bad line in doing so, but I was worth a .7 seconds, I mean I ended wasting all those gains by the next corner but it was something to see.
